Your Very First Dell.......

Mine was a dimension 2400.

 

can't remember the model number, but it was a 233 mhz desktop (I remember being excited about MMX technology)

I had an AST 386sx before, and I upgraded it to a 486dx.

 

^what year?

 

Client provided Dell Latitude D600... Nov '04
Well... I haven't really owned a notebook yet....

 

Ah yes that was similar to our first windows 95 PC. It was a gateway, 233mhz pentium with the MMX that was souposed to be amazing...wow how things have changed in 10 years. Im currently using my family's first dell, since my 1210 is offically out for the count, I cant go online for 5 minutes without getting a blue screen... 5 more days and my brand new one is here, but I digress.

Our first dell was/is a dimension 4400. Featuring the then brand new Windows XP, a Pentium 4 1.6GHz processor (now 2.4), 256mb of ram (now 768mb), a 32mb Geforce 2MX (now a 256mb Geforce 6200), and a gigantic 40 gig hard drive.

 

The memories...my first Dell was a Dimension 8300. Died a month later.

The first exchange unit had a broken case, and the second exchange unit was missing half the RAM and the sound card I ordered.

After that, I got a refund and went with HP for a while.

My first Dell that actually worked more than a month is my XPS M140.

 

486DX 33Mhz

4 MB ram

240 MB hard drive

3.5" floppy drive

5.25" floppy drive

windows 3.1

MS-DOS 5 (maybe 6)

 

My 6000 is my first Dell. I'm a Dell newb.

 

Mine broke quick. We got a replacement. It broke. We hate dell now.

 

I have no idea what the model # was but it was a.... P3 500Mhz, 128MB's of RAM, 20GB HD, CD-ROM, etc.

 

My first Dell notebook is Inspiron 7500. Pentium 600Mhz w/ Speed step Technology, 15.4" Active Matrix TFT, 8MB ATI Video, 384 RAM, 20GB HD, DVD/CD/Floppy Combo. Bought it like 6-7 years ago, and it run Windows XP! Planing to give it a new life and install some kind of Linux distro in it. Weigh like ton though, feels like much heavier then my M90.

 

Mine is on its way!
Inspiron e1705 for college Bought it last Tuesday (before the 35% off coupons went out . . . thank god) and according to Fedex it should arrive on Monday.
Impressed with Dell so far hehe

 

heh, my first dell was this E1705, I've had it for about 3 days.

 

**** its so sad to think that in 3 years my brand new e1405 will be a pile of ****

I think my first dell was a dimension 400 or something, celeron 400mhz 5 gb hard drive, 64 mb ram... then a dell P4 1.8 ghz, then I learned how to build a pc, and now I'm back for the laptop.

 

Desktop: Dimension 3000
Notebook: E1505

 

My Inspiron 8600 i purchased early 2004

 

Latitude C640. 2GHz P-4m, 512 RAM, 30GB HDD, 32MB MR 7500, CD-ROM. Top of the line thin-and-light in its time, but kinda now. It was actually my main computer up until a month ago...

Oh, and there's really nothing 'light' about it. But still lighter than my M90.

 

My parents are LOVE Dell. In the past years we have bought 2 desktops, 2 42" flatscreens, 2 printers(one died so we had to get another one ) and now my laptop for college. By christmas they hope to buy another TV and a laptop.
But then again both parents have discounts there. We got our printer for $25 Canadian and a huge discount on the TVs. My laptop have almost $400s off by their discOUNT.

 

My first Dell was the Dell Dimension 4700 I got in 2005

 

I've used a lot of Dell desktop computers at work, but the very first Dell that I actually bought is my I6400/E1505.

 

haha. mines is I6000
2ghz pm 760, 512mb ddr2, 100gb 5400rpm, ati x300 128mb, WSXGA+

i'm on my 2nd dell now

 

.. was a disastrous experience. Don't remember what I got exactly, but I remember it to be a Dimension 3000 (or something like that). It came with a free 17" laptop, and there lies my problem. The desktop by itself was alright, but the monitor was so bad that it caused serious headaches. No, colors were so inaccurate that it made me puke to excess whenever I game on it. Needless to say, I was so disatisfied with my purchase that I returned the whole package -- desktop included. Well, having said that though, I'm willing to give Dell another chances with the Inspiron 6400 or Inspiron 640m.

edit: It's the Dimension 4000 not 3000. Wait, that's the one with the small black tower case right? lol.

 

Dimension 4400 (1st gen P4 oooh).

1.9ghz P4
128DDR PC2100 RAM(Only 128 to run XP....) later added a 512MB stick of PC2100(believe it was 266Mhz).
40GB Western Digital HD(Died after 2.5yrs) upgraded to a 7200RPM Segate 80GB.
CD-RW, Floppy, 15in CRT monitor
16MB ATi Rage GPU(thinking of upgrading but I dunno...)

Was a good desktop for HS, now for family to use.

 

Like I posted, I also have a 4400 which im using now actually. Put a BFG 6200 in it and it will last your family a few more years. BTW that was the best card I could find that its PSU could handle.
