Dell Dimension 4600 v 5000

by Shiney-Napper Nov 21, 2011 12:06AM PST

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">Hi I have a Dell 4600 Dimension which I have had for a number of years. It works fine and suits my needs ie surfing the net and Itunes. I have been given a Dimension 5000 and wondered if anyone can tell me which is the better machine and why? Thanks

Better

The 5000 should be a step up but that might depend on how it's configured and what your needs are.

Dell Dimension 4600 v 5000

Thanks, the processor seems to be the same ie 2.8ghz but the 5000 has HT as well??? also having a look on the crucial memory website it would appear that memory is better than half the price for the 5000 than it is for the 4600.
