    Having just received the first unit of these in our business, it was a pleasure to run up.
    As always, Dell excel at providing good quality business workstations with attainable prices.

    The good: Excellent performance, solid build quality, good quality peripherals.

    The bad: When reinstalling the Windows XP O/S, a change in the BIOS is required to prevent a BSOD error. (Change SATA Performance from AHCI to ATA).

    I work for Eastman Kodak and had one of these provided as an engineering workstation that this falls short of. But, it makes for a nice business class machine.

    The good: Dell's driver and tech support through their website.

    The bad: The CD's provided with it lack the directions for restoring the original configuration of the machine as it was received. The memory received with it was average.
