D/Port replicator for. Firstly I can say that i should have purchased the
external monitor years ago as difference using the 20" vs. 15" is amazing. I

Not specific to Dell.  Have a lot of experience with desktop computers, and
am quite comfortable adding and changing hardware in them. How much more

TIA

Is there a web site that explains in simple English the differences
between the Intel E4300, E4400, E6320, and E6420?  Dell's "Help Me
Choose" is, of course, useless.  Thanks!

Need to add $50 to my E520 purchase to get the $350 discount. Choices:
Upgrade processor from E6320 to E6420.
Upgrade video card from Geforce 7300LE to ATI Radeon X1300 Pro.

I assume the first one will not write to DVD?  Is the CD writer on the

About to pull the trigger on a college notebook for my daughter. She has
been using my Inspiron 9300 a little at home and likes the 17" WUXGA screen.
My I9300 is XP based and not all graphical elements are easily adjustable
for such a high resolution. Question: Is Vista Home Premium ...

I need an internet security software package for my new Win Vista Dell

On some websites (e.g. amazon.com), people sell the Internet Security

If I were going to spring for an actual desktop, which one is likely
to be longest lasting?   (Matching the longevity of my current
win95 machine, now running 24/7 continuously since 1996, would be nice.)

I'm looking to get a new system and need to decide on the LCD. I
currently have the 20 inch 2001FP from a few years ago. Because of my
vision problems, I run this at 800x600 (since it's half the native
resolution there is no deteriation). I've always used a 4:3 computer

I have a 4-year-old Dimension 4600, getting a bit long in the tooth
but still works ok. With the $350 discount, can pick up a Dimension
E520 for $650. Possibly too good a deal to pass up. Or maybe these
