I feel like a complete idiot sending this request -
and will understand if there are no replies...... :)
I am a senior female trying to buy a new computer.
Have had two Dells and have been more than happy with them.
Now looking at the Dell Dimension 8300 but in the 5 years since I bought
my present system too many changes have occurred and I am at a loss in
making a choice between the options Dell lists under each category.
Not sure what I need to purchase in order to have two monitors running
(this present one is a 20 in. Trinitron - a freebee from Dell when the
original monitor quit just as my 3 year warranty was up). I also
wondered if there is some way I could hook my present CPU into the new
set up (it has two disks - 1 with l3.4 GB and the 2nd a 40 GB divided
into 4 partitions totalling about 36 GB.) I would be happy if I could
just access it as a "storage facility". I have been playing with
graphics and hate to lose the "stuff" I have collected .
I know nothing about the new DVD/CD and whatever configurations.
Or about the newest sound hardware/software. So I am at a loss as to
what to choose.
Firewire???? Memory sticks??????
I guess - bottom line - I would like to have a system without
limitations......... :)
And everyone I speak with advises me not to go with Dell but with a
local firm who can put together an equal system for half the price.
But I have no guarantee about how long these firms will be in business
or how they might honour warrantees.
Cost? I am relatively easy. (the one plus about being a senior
is that one no longer has to "save for the future"). But I would hate
also to think I was "taken advantage of". :))))
So if anyone knowledgeable has time to spare..........I would really
appreciate it if you would go through the options for the 8300 on the
Dell site..............and suggest what I should buy............
If I am asking too much - please just ignore me!!!!!!!!!! :)))
Or send me off to a site you think might clarify my questions for
me............
