As this computer package is one of the cheapest full systems (including monitor and operating system) available right now, we were curious to see what kind of value and performance Dell offers its customers for the Dimension 2400's minimal price. Dell currently offers the Dimension 2400 for $499 CDN and up. Our package clocked in at around $600 CDN with a 19-inch monitor.
We examined this budget system inside and out, and ran it through a full spectrum of benchmarks and subjective tests before we were satisfied. But were we satisfied? Read on...
The Dimension 2400 is a budget home/office system based on Intel's i845GV chipset, and houses a Celeron 2.4Ghz processor (in the model we tested) or a Pentium 4 up to 2.8 GHz. Depending on the processor, the system uses either 266MHz or 333MHz DDR memory, up to 1GB worth. Graphics and sound are provided by Intel's 'Extreme' integrated graphics chipset and Soundmax integrated audio respectively. Nothing to write home about here, but adequate for the PC's intended role as an office machine. A 40GB hard disk provides storage, and a 48X CD-ROM drive is present for software and music. No floppy drive was included in the system we reviewed, though a slot for one is built into the custom Dell case.
