2.0 out of 5 stars Powerful computer - weak graphics, March 26, 2009

This review is from: Dell 2.8 Ghz. Super Fast Optiplex Pro GX 1 Computer, Gigantic 750GB Hard Drive, 4GB RAM, CDRW/DVD Combo, Intel P4 Single Core Multimedia Desktop PC, includes New Licensed Windows XP 2 Operating System and Genuine Sealed CD, SP 3 (Personal Computers)

Be aware that this computer, with powerful components, comes without the video capacity to allow those components to work well. Had 4 blue screens after purchasing the item, and had to do several "heroics" that more novice users would not have been able to perform. Had to purchase, from another source, the "recommended" video card that set me back another $80. I sent 3 emails to communicate with the sellers, and received no answers. I have made this one work for me, but it is not for the user who can't figure out what is wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very fast computer!, February 5, 2009

I am very happy with the computer that I purchased, but disappointed in the service that I received. The computer arrived as scheduled, but it would not connect with the internet. I contacted the company via email on another computer, but the company never contacted me. I ended up having to pay for a service call from another computer company to fix the problem. It appears that when the computer was refurbished, they failed to delete the IP address that the computer formerly had in it's memory. It should have been cleared and reset back to automatic. As to the computer itself, it is an excellent machine and totally fulfills all my requirements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very happy..., April 20, 2009

The description of the computer I bought seemed too good to be true... and alas, it was. I was broke, and thought it'd be a good deal, since I NEEDED it... and I got suckered into buying it by the great description of it they had on there. this thing's probably as old as I am, and they can say 4gb ram and 750gb hard drive space all they want... this thing is slower than molassas and I havn't gotten a chance to save a single song, video or picture on it yet. want to have two windows open at the same time? (Which I need to for work) Ha! Not happening... that second page will be loading til you fall asleep my friend. It also only plays 50% of the dvd's I put in it... and since my monitor is WAY more advanced than the computer, the two are hardly compatable. Buy a NEW computer... go to best buy or something. seriously.
