I bought a 2350 two years ago for the grandkids, and it works just fine
for kid-level games and educational programs. I usually build all my
own PCs, but I couldn't resist the low price ($389 delivered, after all
applied discounts) for a turnkey system.
I'm building up a new SFF machine and I got curious about the parts in
the Dell, especially the CPU and memory. I found several threads on
the internet that hinted that the CPU, and possibly the memory, is
proprietary. Intel FredID utility reports CPU as 1.7 GHz FPGA2
Celeron. All other parts, except MB & PS appear to be off-the-shelf.
Is that a socket 370, socket 478, or something else? If true, what
makes it proprietary?
Any info from a real Dell Guru would be most appreciated.
