My current PC, which is a Dell P4, 3.0 GHz HT, Win XP 32-bit has lasted me a decade and it's still running like a charm. And I never had to replace a single part. And I use it constantly, all the time, everyday for ten straight years. So I don't know why so many people hate on Dell. My computer is a warrior . Oh and btw, it's still as fast as it was the day I bought it. I still can't believe it's been ten years. I bet new computers these days won't last that long. "They don't make'em like they used to." I think the 'secret' is to shut down the computer when you're finished using it and to make sure every few years you clean/blow out all the dust in the tower. Ya won't believe how much dust builds up in there.
