I have the same computer. I was also surprised about the lack of a phone
port. Easily solvable with a $3.00 phone splitter, but still seems a bit
chintzy on a mid-level computer.
Of course many people today have broadband (including me), but I also
maintain dial-up service as a backup.
Not sure what you mean by the video isn't well supported, but I found it
interesting that the Serene Screen screensaver freezes up on my this
computer with 64 MB shared video, while their is no problem on my daughter's
computer; a 4 year old 350MHz Pentium 2 with a separate (4MB) video card.
The one saving grace is the AGP slot on the mother board, so I suspect I
will eventually upgrade the video. No real rush since I am not a "gamer".
Otherwise the computer has performed flawlessly, and I am most happy with
it. My last computer was a 450MHz, AMD K6-2, NEC. I was very happy with it
for the 4 years I owned it, so I sought out an AMD processor again this time
around.
