Yes, lots of people have them... is this a trick question?

Yup, mine works great. 2.6C. First thing i did was replace the hard drive w/ my Cheetah 15K.3 and upgrade the memory. Runs fast, runs cool, runs solid.

Hi. I got one the other day for my folks. 2.6c, XP. I've added more memory and deleted AOL and Earthlink. Also came with McAfee stuff installed, but I've had great luck with NortonAV and ZoneAlarm, so I'm thinking of canning the McAfee stuff too. I like the Dell help stuff for my folks (in their 70's), but I'm thinking of wiping the hard drive and reinstalling without all the bloatware.
