Dell See Sense, Swap Money for Tech

 

My Dell XPS 420 order has now been cajoled back into life.

I ordered it online 01-02 and got the official order confirmation 11-02. Not exactly speedy.

In anticipation I did some research about the XPS 420. A fair few people have issues with raid configurations other than Raid0.

My machine is a single 500gb in Raid0 so I should be fine.

Most people describe the XPS 420 as the quietest computer they have used (bodes well.)

I didn’t go OTT with the Spec

Quad Core 2.4 / 3gb Ram / ATI Radeon 2600XT

Now I don’t play games but I do watch Hi-Def so the Radeon 2600XT with it’s onboard HD video processing is going to be sweet and it helped keep the cost of the machine down.

No doubt I will be creating a few posts about the XPS 420 so I have created a category for it.
