Today's computers at almost all price points pack multi-core processing power. With all that added processing capabilities, your computing experience should be richer than ever.

Onus Um, so if you choose the processor, noted below ("Athlon X2 7550 Dual-Core Processor"), which one of those things can you not do?Reply

ern88 Can I saw "FALSE ADVERTISEMENT". What a load of crap. They are praying on the un-educated people like the old. FAILReply -
isamuelson This is rather old. Saw this months ago around here somewhere. Still, pretty friggin' hilarious that you need a quad-core for emailing.Reply
Glad I upgraded to an X3 (unlocked the 4th core) so I can email now. Never knew what I was missing! -
jonpaul37 Too bad they don't explain why you need a horrible low-quality PSU and Case that does not fit anything! Maybe then, people would look elsewhere as opposed to paying too much for a Sh%&y Dell...Reply
