I have a dell 4550 desktop, 2.52ghz, 384ram and I love it.


and I got on ebay soon to come hopefully works on delivery... a dell Inspiron 4000 laptop. 800mhz, 256ram, 20gb hard drive WIN XP.

then when i can afford it i will be getting a Pocket pc, so I can connect to free hotspots without having to take a laptop with me everywhere.

Hi calibaby, I was thinking of stealing your desktop (mine's only 1.7G), but then I realised I wouldn't like the rest of the spec. You need more RAM, probably.

Just to compare with your laptop...

I just brought my (ancient) laptop out of standby - first time since Jan 19th 00:12:51. Straight up and running fine within a second or so (a couple more seconds as it established the ethernet link to this machine).

It's a Compaq Armada 4220T - 266MHz, 96Mb RAM, 4Gig HDD, running Linux/Debian/KDE with OpenOffice, Mozilla, KDevelop, PostGRES, Apache to name a few.

I think it's coming up to its tenth birthday. I looked on the Compaq site for it, and they still maintain info on it, which is nice of them. At that point, they also offered ...

My old one was a Dell Inspiron 1100.
My new one is a Dell Inspiron E1505.
Vista - :roll:
I think I need to start a thread to see how others are liking Vista.
