New Dell E520 Dual Core

Bought a new Dell computer over the Net the other day. The old IBM NetVista P4 is showing sign of old age and misbehaving. Decision made (not a difficult one) and the IBM PC is going to be used as games station for the kids.

The delivery was actually within 4 days (mega impressed...no wonder Dell is doing so well in the PC market). It took me less than half an hour to fix it all up ready to go. Such beauty with 19" flat LCD screen and all. Power up and the first impression with the pre-loaded XP Home edition was not bad at all.

The only complain I have must be the Pentium D (Dual Core) processor which was somewhat not as fast as I would imagine it should have been. Anyway, sparkling new equipment must at least test drive it for a couple of hours...hence sacrificing my sleep for the first night went crazy with the online Internet surfing riding on the new boat (pictures from the porn sites never looked so seductive ever!). By the time I felt my eye balls drying up it was already 3:30 a.m. in the morning.

Making full use of the IE7 'delete all' options, I have managed to wipe out all the traces of me visiting all those interesting sites. Time to turn in...until my next diary entry...hopefully not another 3 months!
