dlewis23 Posted July 31, 2006 CID Share Posted July 31, 2006 its not bad at all van good system for a good price. A celeron D would be a little faster then a sempron, but for what you parents are going to be doing i really dont think it would make much of a difference.

resopalrabotnick Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 i'm gonna spam dell again. if they offer similar service packages in sweden as in the us then that might be a good idea (if their prices are ok. they are derned low in the us) the 1 to 3 years at home service is poriceless. friend bought one and hat it fried by lightning 1 month later. (lightning to the phone line killed internal modem and the board through the pci slot. the printer went as well, apparently through the usb) they replaced the board next day on warranty. the modem he didn't get. when we discovered that was a dud as well he called again and made the mistake of mentioning the lightning strike.(which the standard one-year waraanty doesn't cover.) but don't buy extra ram there, it is expensive, upgrade it yourself.
