I have a Dell 4400, Pentium 4, 1.6, 512 ram, 40 gig, XP Home, 64 mb video card w/ TV out, 48X CD- Burner, SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio, and a 17" moniter

Gee I guess I am near perfect to your spec. Newboater.

Mine is almost 2 years old and have had only one problem and not much of one. The CD- Burner stoped working after 8 months. I called Dell up on the phone the tec had me do a couple of things and over nighted me one. I had it fixed in less then 24 hours!
Dell has also made there case so user friendly!! Opens like a suit case and everything is so easy to get at. To replace the new CD Rom all I had to do is press to buttons and open casr, pull on to green platic clips and slid it out. Plug new one in slide back in till clips clicked close case and I was done total time 5 min.

I have now gotten to family members Dells and can't say anything wrong about them!! They are a few more $$ then some of the store bought ones but it just runs flawless all the time. I will never own anything else!!

Good luck ML!!!!
