1/29/2010 12:36:22 PM There is a 'grinding' sound as if a fan is going out, we spent time on the phone with Dell, they ran a diagnostic and said the fan(s) are fine, but the noise still comes and goes.

7/8/2010 6:45:35 PM PCMatic just destroyed my wireless connection -- an attempt to install a new driver seems to have failed, and I cannot even access the wireless card to troubleshoot it. Since loading and running PCMatic, boot speed -- the time from logon to the ability to open a brower -- has doubled to about 6 minutes. Thanks a lot.

9/5/2010 5:21:37 PM I have always been satisfied with this computer until recently. I am now having problems and don't know how to resolve this. I am hoping that PC Pitstop can help me with this.

7/28/2010 4:05:41 PM It has been an excellent computor and is still doing well. Over the years there have been error problems that caused me grief, but once resolved, all was good again. Right now I can't seem to figure out why the CD Writer or E drive won't "write" the Quickbook files, but I will work on solving the problem. I would recommend Dell as a quality computer to anyone. My last purchase was a HP laptop, because Staples didn't carry Dell laptops at that time.

6/8/2012 1:17:41 PM I have had no major problems with it that PC Pitstop could not fix. It does run slowly, but only occasionally. Rarely locks up. Not positive about the date I purchased it, but it was a used computer when I bought it.

7/8/2010 7:24:37 PM Ran PCMatic to cure slow boots. It reported I needed a new driver for the DLink Airplus Xtreme G DWL-G520 wireless card. I OK'd that by clicking 'Fix All.' Rebooted; machine came back up with wireless card invisible and a yellow exclamation point on its icon in the device manager. Have been unable to restore wireless functionality.

10/28/2009 6:06:59 AM Computer is wired therefore would expect speeds a bit slower than laptop which runs Windows Vista, however both connections to live video eg Skype are poor and often freeze on both machines. As we are using this to keep in touch with family would this be solely down to our broadband provider to rectify? We are on Option 2 with BT and feel speeds should be a bit quicker than at present

11/21/2010 8:06:50 PM This is a Dell 4600. The processor has been upgraded to a Pentium 4. 3.0 hyperthreaded.Memory upgraded to 2.0gbs. with Nvidia 7600 video w/512 onboard memory. 3 harddrives. 2 of which are SATA and 1 is an IDE, totalling over 400gbs. It is faster than a lot of dual cores. It multi-tasks very well. I run windows 7 ultimate. which at the best has only rated my computer at 4.9 on the windows experience index. I am happy with this computer.

6/28/2015 11:05:45 PM IT'S JUST OLD! (TEN YEARS...) AND IT WASN'T DESIGNED TO ACCEPT MEMORY UPGRADES, SO THIS IS ABOUT AS FAST AS IT WILL EVER GET. I WOULD BE A LOT HAPPIER WITH DELL IF THEY HAD DESIGNED IT TO ALLOW ME AT LEAST ONE GOOD SIZE MEMORY UPGRADE, THEN THE HD AND PROCESSOR WOULD HAVE LET ME USE IT LONGER OR AT LEAST DONATE IT TO A SENIORS GROUP.
