XPS 210 Opinions

Hi Nboemio,

 

You know, I was using the previous generation XPS 200 as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) and my only complaint about the system was that it ran a little hot.  I mean it's a pretty small form factor so there's not great airflow for the hard drive.  The system ran great though.  Both the XPS 200/210 are more than capable of running Vista.

 

The fan noise kind of got to me, but that just may be due to running Media Center on it with a 750GB hard drive.

Unless you need the small foot print of the XPS210 I would choose the XPS 420.   The XPS 210 been out for over a year.    The XPS 210 is very limited on expansion.    

anyone using vista, i would recommend 2 gb of memory, its a memory hog....my 2 cents worth

I aggree with you Ronss.

 

2 Gigs minimum

3 Gigs for the optimum

4 Gigs if you run a X64 bit

Yup ... I need the small foot print.  I'm going to be ordering 2 machines.  The XPS 210 as an all-purpose one and the XPS 730 for gaming only.  I would not have space for the 420  and the 730.   Thanks!
