This thing is like the worst thing. The intergrated thing must be something around 32MB...it sucks like you wouldn't know. But yeah...you win

I'm just shocked how Dell can even make a complete system that cheap!!! I tried configuring that on my own to try to meet Dell's specs. No luck. I go over every time.

They buy their components in the thousands...

 

[prosser13]

Yep, and then they make crappy computers with their crappy components

Today's black friday... $300 computers all over, go get something that runs.

I don't understand how Black Friday got it's name. I was watching the news last night and they kept mentioning that. They did mention a bunch of places with $300 PCs. Walmart and Best Buy have them available. Bare minimum PCs.
