On board Video ok ; Only 32 bit

Not too sure...

 

Are these systems refurbished from Dell or units that did not meet QC standards? Forget the middle-man buy straight from Dell. Get a good surge protector or a few spare hard drives and be sure to backup regularly.

Win 7, decent processor, 2GB Memory, pretty case, easy access front USB ports, quiet DVD drive and it's Dell

I ordered 20 of these. 3 of the 20 have dents, not tiny little dings.. I mean dents. One was bent so bad on the side that it forced the back into a V shape which created a gap between the mobo and the plate where the connectors go. Some came with...

OUtstanding entry level business PC

 

This PC comes from Dell's business side, so it is not optimized for home use, although if you're not interested in all the bloatware that home PCs come with, this would make a great home PC as well.

horrible customer service

 

DO NOT BUY DELL PRODUCTS. Dell has horrible customer service, they lie to you, you spend countless hours on the phone getting nothing resolved. They always put you on hold for a very long time. I will never buy anything from dell ever again. DO NOT BUY...

DELL Vostro 230(468-8400) Core 2 Duo E7500(2.93GHz) 2GB DDR3 250GB HDD Capacity Intel GMA X4500 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

 

I am a little scared of David's review noting the "black screen of death" i am at 3 weeks now without a problem. I will report back if I encounter this as well.

Price, functionality, very fast, Core2Duo serves the purpose perfectly of what I need it for. Almost no bloatware, which was refreshing

2MB of RAM. Do yourself a favor and add 4MB of RAM to your order. I did, but first initially booted and ran with the 2MB. Shut it down and popped in the 4MB and the difference is night and day. Well worth the upgrade
