Replacement for Dell 8110?
in [Dell]
|
From: James on 16 Jun 2010 15:55 I am ready to replace my Dell 8110. My price range is "around" $500. I use the computer for web browsing, email, and some document handling. Don't need fancy graphics, but would like whatever I get to be faster than the 8110. Huge disk space isn't important either. What would you all recommend in this price range, for a basic desktop replacement for my Dell 8110 ?? Thanks !! James

Computers in the $500 range are commodities; buy what's on sale. Daddy

I recently got an Inspiron 560 with 8GB of ram and a 2.93 GHz core 2 duo in your price range. Came with 64 bit win7.

Very slow by modern standards, and replaced inexpensively by most any far faster Dell desktop you buy... Ben Myers |
