carl0s Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 This is a bit older than usual, but is still a good machine, and has a few quite unique features.. Dell Inspiron 8200. Mega meaty machine. Very solid and hard-wearing. It has a U-XGA (Ultra-XGA) 15" Screen, with a massive 1600x1200 resolution. Also a 9-pin serial port, which I know some of you guys want. Lots of RAM, fairly decent CPU, much-o kit all round, good price. Spec: 1.8Ghz Pentium-4M Processor 768mb DDR SDRAM nVidia GeForce 32mb dedicated-ram graphics 20gb HDD 10/100mbps Ethernet 56k v92 Modem CD-ReWriter DVD Player TV-Out Firewire USB2 1.44mb Floppy Good battery 15" U-XGA Screen Windows XP Pro Now, the machine came to me with just a DVD-ROM, so I have replaced this with a CDRW/DVD. The machine is Wireless-ready, so it has an empty Mini-PCI slot with the aerials in place ready. I can install a 802.11g 54mbps Mini-PCI internal wireless card for an additional £15. *this is not a PC-Card, it's completely internal as in any 'proper' wireless laptop*, or I could throw in a 54g PC-Card for free. I can upgrade the hard-drive to a 40gb unit for an additional £15 also. Pictures to follow... anyone interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-No-Knee Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Is it powerful enough to play games on? Like Doom3/Quake 4?? Or am I really on drugs asking that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would just about cope, with graphics set to low setting, but the machine has gone back out to another customer now anyway so isn't for sale any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
