Congratulations Suzi! You will probably receive it much sooner! Enjoy your new Dell! I can tell you that I've been enjoying mine very much.

I recommend the 512 memory. And order the 3.5 floppy.

stormraiser · #9 Postby **stormraiser** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:17 am

Wow. I can't get one right now, but I will keep an eye out. Need a couple more months.

chadtm80 · #10 Postby **chadtm80** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:19 am

Ya, I would reccomend the 512 as well.. But 256 will get the job done as well

Stormraiser, look for at least 512MB of RAM in any system you plan on ordering. Anything less is barely sufficient for running Windows XP and will not hold up well in the future (we're already beginning to see some of the most taxing software run best with 1024MB).

chadtm80 · #12 Postby **chadtm80** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 11:37 am

My puter is upgradable to 2gig of memory.. Yikes.. lol.. I cant wait till i do that one.. lol.. Only using 512 now

I wonder if we can get a kick-back from Dell for all the free advertising? :-)

Great news Suzi! Enjoy the new toy :-)

I have 256 and it's a rocket. At any rate it depends on what you use it for. I can upgrade to 512 later...even higher if I want. :wink:

I love the flat panel display. Congrats Suzi

Depends on what kind of software and what you use it for. I just surf the net and email. I don't play games or edit photos etc. It would be a waste of money for me to go with 512. As I said..I can upgrade it later..but I doubt I will neeed to

Well then I am going to fly like an eagle. lol. My monitor was broken when I received mine. I am waiting on Dell to ship my new one. Just my luck

mf_dolphin · #17 Postby **mf_dolphin** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 1:57 pm

I went with 1GB of memory but then again I tend to drive my PC a little harder than most ;-)

My flat panel was absolutely the best money I've spent in a long time! Now if I can only convince the wife to let me get a second one so I can span the desktop for hurricane season! (not holding my breath)

Ask her when she is in a very good mood

I drive mine like an old lady :lol:

Not like I am a novice it's just that I just don't do that much with my puter. Just surf the net and send email. I am Glad I can upgrade later if I decide to. :wink:

Thanks all, I am REALLY looking forward to the new baby. I've had this same clunky monitor for 8 years so will be in shock to see the cute flat panel. Went with 512 of ram, upgraded free to a 120 hard drive, 128 graphics card for SOMEONE to play their silly games with. Just received confirmation that ship date is now 3/31 ( :cry:

) but I'll hope it's like ya'll have said and much sooner. In the meantime, I'll just drool over the specs. Hubby is SO happy, when he got home this morning I told him "Dude, you're getting a Dell! " Thought he was gonna faint since he's been after me to do this since um, BEFORE CHRISTMAS????? Plus with him becoming an indy contractor, can we say TAX WRITEOFF???????

Oh and yeah, I got the free shipping and the rebate.

Dude-I'm getting a Dell too!
