Tom, I assume you have 6 on the way as I post.  :)

I have a 8200 Dimension and I was wondering if someone could recommend a
good (and not too expensive) RAM card (512k). I'm wondering if I should
get a 'cool' card, by that I mean, it came with 256 and the guy I bought
 it from added an additional 256 with this silver metal ...

How do I change the "Ownership Tag" (similar to asset tag) on a Latitude
D610 that does not have a floppy drive?
The Dell asset.com utility I have installs to a floppy.  You then boot to
the floppy and the utility.  But, no floppy in this D610.

A coworker  has a Dell 1505 notebook w/, I think, Express Card S4 or 54

I can't seem to find information on the motherboard in the Dell 520.
The user manual is not helpful. The unintelligible Indian Tech Support
people are useless. Customer Service doesn't know.
Can anyone post the great secret?

We bought a few new-in-box 2407FP monitors recently, and one developed a
broken power switch.   I was appalled to call Dell support and be told that

120GB SATA drive with a Samsung HM160JI drive.   About 5 months later,
windows booted with a "lost user profile" error.  I ran SpinRite on the
Samsung drive, and SpinRate came up with a big red error message ...

Priced out a Dimension E520 at $654 and an XPS 410 @ $764.  Same
system, except the E520 has Intel E6420 and the XPS has Intel E4300.
Does the XPS have any real advantages over the Dimension?

I've been looking around lately at laptop hard drives, thinking that I might
like to upgrade the 60GB one in my Latitude D800 to something larger. I see
drives as big as 250GB presently on the market, but they're almost
invariably SATA-only. The biggest 2.5" PATA drive I've seen is ...

I just bought a new Dell Latitude D520 laptop. It came with Vista, but
I prefer XP Pro,
so I reformatted my disk completely and loaded XP Pro.  It works fine,
EXCEPT,

Can someone tell me if Dell has a JBOD SCSI attached drive case that works
with the PowerEdge 2650 hotswap trays?

First off, I'm not up to speed with Linux since I never played with it
nor read about it.  That said.. now that Dell is selling it on some of
their pc's (I think dimensions) , is Linux any more, equal or less up
to speed than Vista?  I wonder if getting enough apps to run on Linux

I am looking for a battery backup surge protector>   I am thinking of an APC
but am confused by the voltage & watts.  I have a dimension 8300 with a 17"

someone advise me what I should get?
