• Dell Dimension L866 Pentium III 866MHz

  Ideal for business-minded buyers, the Dell Dimension L866 offers Pentium III performance, a worthwhile software bundle and a sharp 17-inch monitor. However, its admirably compact case limits your expansion options, and its integrated Intel video chip hinders 3D graphics performance (and steals 4MB of system RAM).

Even with a disappointing keyboard and merely adequate software bundle, the 4100's performance makes it a good value.
