   Not a Dell..   
      
        Win7/32 eMachines T6528, AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.21Ghz, 160GB HDD   
      
   I like [5] pc better than the [3] Thinkcentre, but [3] has the more modern   
   SATA for HDD and [5] is the older EIDE.   
      
   I used [5] to explore various linux distros to replace the original XP on it.    
   Lubuntu/LXDE was the simplest one that supported the NVIDIA card without   
   tearing. Networking with other Win pcs worked well.   
      
   Then, Manjaro/Xfce was a very nice performer and supported NVIDIA right out of   
   the box.  But, then I encountered SAMBA problems with networking to existing   
   Win machines.   
      
   Lubuntu was quite fine for my friend. The pc was a smooth operator with the   
   /64 version and utilized the full 4GB ram.  But.. they wanted their legacy HP   
   printer to work. We encountered a problem that required re-activating the   
   drivers after each reboot. Not good.  Friend ended up with a donated W10 pc   
   from a neighbour, and I ended up with the eMachine with Manjaro at the time.   
      
   I wasn't interested in re-installed and doing all the work tweeking Lubuntu,   
   so I just purchased Win7/32 ..and everything works.   
      
   The stories our pcs could tell, eh?
