Dell Optiplex GX1 RAM by
Tom Del Rosso
The system has 3 slots, and 1 is occupied by a 128MB 9-chip single sided
DIMM, so it has ECC but is apparently unbuffered.
I want to bring it up to 512MB, or 640MB if possible.
The Dell website has 2 RAM options listed for the GX1 -- 1 ECC registered
and 1 non-ECC unbuffered.
This seems strange...

Our Dell experience said never again by
Rey Barry
Richard's report below could have been written by my daughter about
her Dell, aside from the "10 frustrating days." Her simple fix took
Dell 55 frustrating days, and we discovered the big mistake was buying
Dell.
Your mileage will vary. Most do. But here is ours.
My daughter's Dell desktop was 5...

quietest desktop Dell by
Gabriel
I've been looking at the new Dimension, in particular the 5100c and 9100
Pentium D machines. (The 5100c is only offered with Pentium D at the small
business section.) I understand these machines use the new BTX cases. Has
anybody had any real-world experience with one of these? Are the noise
levels...

Partition Ideas - Your Advice, Please? by
Karl Jones
Considering a clean install of XP MCE on a new 300gb SATA. Not a lot in
the way of games and stuff, but a fairly large collection of mp3's, and
lots of photo files to use with Photoshop. What do you folks think of
the following plan for formatting the drive:
20GB for XP C:
5GB dedicated swap...

New Dell, format question by
George
I'm really thinking Dell desktop instead of building, maybe a laptop even.
My question is, has anyone gotten a new Dell and just reformated the thing
instead of going through all the garbage, trying to delete or figure out
what to disable?
Can you give me some opinions on this?
A while back a...

OT-- IE 7.0 -- should I??? by
MZB
One of the "critical updates" is IE 7.0.
So far, I've avoided it (I am just used to IE 6.xx and I've had no
problems).
So, what's the scoop? I haven't read of too many problems on THIS newsgroup,
so...:
1) Does the installation go pretty smoothly.

HP Outpaces Dell by

Maybe Dell should reconsider massive move to India.
Henry Ford, a true industrial leader, paid his workers well
to enable them to buy his product.
A generation later many industrial leaders have forgotten,

Dell Tech Support by
rila
Does anyone know how to get real, English speaking knowledgeable tech
support from Dell? Is there a secret phone number somewhere? Is their only
tech support grad school drop-outs in India? I cannot believe this company
is still in business with the worse than nothing "tech support"...

Dell's Slide by
Bill
Want to know who is responsible for the slide in Dell's service? It's
us, the customer. Dell is driven, like any other corporation by
profit. How many customers really are willing to pay the difference
in price for better tech support? Consider that number versus those
who would buy Brand X if...

Thank you Dell for ****ing off a customer by
D
I went to install a customer's brand new Dell computer. I called my
boss to let him know I was there. He told me that I would be denied
payment for the installation because Dell had cancelled the call.
Their reason? Because the customer called them and cancelled it.
I had already driven 20...

What's up with Dell's f-ed up XP setup? by
[email protected]
I think I know XP fairly well. (probably installed 100 systems or so).
Just got 2 Dell 9100 systems for my kids and added them to my existing
home workgroup. For some stupid reason both systems can't browse the
existing workgroup and connect to shared printers. I have a few other

I just ordered an e1505, it should be here this Wednesday (5/24). I

GX620, ATI 600 SE, 2405FPW by
Tom Scales
I'm having a problem with my widescreen monitor on this computer.
When I plug it in using VGA, I configure it as 1920x1200. The stupid video
card outputs 1600x1200 and scrolls 1920x1200 within it. I have the proper
monitor driver configured.
If I connect the same monitor to the same computer...

Uh oh, cooling problem (with Dell computers) by
Tom Scales
In the new house, I planned on installing my server machines in my walk-in
closet. It's wired for network and cable and is working great, except......
You could roast a turkey in the room. It's also overheating the entire
master bedroom.
Oops.
Guess I didn't think about that.

Laptop Questions by

Got my Latitude (D810). The HD was a Samsung. Went with the SXGA
screen. Thanks to the people in the group for answering my screen and
other questions. I got what I wanted. Now a few more questions!
The Device Manager identifies the CD as "TSSTcorp CDRW/DVD TSL462c".
Anyone knows this brand?
