Dimension 5100

Are the motherboards used in the new 5100 different from the ones in
3000s ? I am asking this to find out apart from the different video
cards what is the main difference between a 5100 and a 3000. Who makes
the motherboard for Dell nowadays ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Absolutely. 5100 has a PCI-e slot for a video card. 3000 has integrated
video and no slot to upgrade the video.

Don't know who makes them. Suspect it is the cheapest vendor of the moment.

They are very different. The 3000s are built for Dell by Mitac in China.

The 5100s use Foxconn boards.

Is there any difference in terms of functionality and performance ?
