Pretty cool. Makes me wish I had one
 Anyway, 4GB RAM seems pretty miniscule in comparasion to 500GB HDD... Its unbelievable that progress has leaped for HDD, but just took a few steps for RAM. I'm currently on a 2GB RAM/100GB HDD, and I know it just doesn't quite work like this... but shouldn't the RAM be 10GB in comparasion?  Well, maybe you can get 10GB RAM... if not I can see it as 100% possible for the future. |

500Gb makes my 80Gb look poor.
Well, most things make my 80Gb look poor I suppose. Though I still don't fill it, but I could easily fill it if I tried. |

Just wonder what GPU they are choosing. Intel's 945P does not seem to have an integrated display and judging from the configuration of the computer, there should have been room for SLI or Crossfire display cards, while there is none. I wonder why there is no duel PCI-E x8 slots for the purpose.

Dell has done it again, 500 gb, I, just have to say that’s sweet.
That’ll be useful for those using limewire to get all those favorite songs, or movies. Or just those with huge anime, it’s nice. The memory doesn’t suck as well, 4gb, hmm nice stuff Dimension is going to rock, It’s probably going to cost an arm and a leg, but good for computer lovers. |

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.  Group: [MODERATOR] Posts: 4,326 Joined: 24-July 05 From: Linix, DOS and Windows…the good, the bad and the ugly Member No.: 9,787  myCENT:97.30 |
I'm wondering how long does it take to defrag that thing?
My laptop takes about 45 min and it is a total of 7 gigs. If I don't do it every month, it takes over an hour. Of course, the processor speed is very slow compared to today's newer cpu's, but still, it is probably relative to the disk size. Does anyone here have one of these 500 gigs HDDs? |

Wow I wonder who's going to use that much space. I only used about 10gb of my 100gb. Well good luck with that Dell.

I can see myself using something like that... because between my computers, I've got a lot of stuff saved up. I've got 40 gigs on the home computer, with about 30 gigs used. I have another 40 gigs on my laptop... and it's only got about 35 gigs used... I had to go out and buy an external hard drive, because it got full... It was 80 gigs, and I figured there was no way I could fill that! But low and behold, it's full too. I'm going to have to buy another one soon I think. I think I'd rather buy more externals than a 'super-computer' though. I don't know. It's probably cheaper this way. Specially since I got my 80 gig hard-drive for $200, and there were many cheaper ones out there.

huh...it is too huge but it would not lure me to get one or enlarge current disk capacity.because as a desktop pc,200Gb is enough to hold anything you like.just like what jlhaslip said,if need to check disk,defrag will take a boring long time...
however,we should convince that dell is so outstanding in computer development field,big disk must advance big ram to promote later... |
