3/12/2010 2:44:32 PM Very satistied with this comput. runs well and have had very few problems with it. The only complaint I have is that when I have had to call Dell support for assistance I get someone in India who can't speak or understand English. I end up having to call a local company at my own expense to get help.

5/3/2009 11:50:29 PM There seems to be some sort of issue when gaming online that causes frequent and abhorrent lag spikes. Watching TV shows online (on hulu) does not cause this problem to manifest.

6/19/2009 12:20:47 AM multitasking is almost impossible. Program startup takes way too long. It is someties required to shut down all programs running to run even the simplest of programs, such as running the dell all in one printer program. video playback on games produces a "halo" or glow effect.

5/10/2010 12:25:01 AM It's ok, I probably need a new one soon, as the game I play,(World of Warcraft), is soon to be releasing it's latest upgrade,(before christmas anyway),and from what I can tell, with every upgrade so far, it has been taking faster graphics and more memory, so I probably will need a new computer soon, I am just hoping not to need to buy another at this time.

1/14/2010 5:45:50 PM Just had to reinstall Vista after I fouled up my internet connection. I had lost my volume and network icons from the system tray and was trying to recover them. Long story short, I couldn't get on the net, and figured it would be easier to format my HD, to clear up a couple other issues I created a year ago as well. Now reinstalling all my programs and want to get a profile while the system is fresh and uncluttered.

4/28/2011 11:30:26 AM I was told by CA Technician when he installed the antivirus program my computer had 17 stopped drivers. This PC Tune-Up program has not reinstalled 17 updated drivers. I'm not happy with the slowness of the computer nor this PC Tune Up program. I installed more memory and any increase in speed is probably due to that.
