Patricia,
Not at all. My experiences with Dell hardware in the past were very
disappointing. I am moving from a Pentium III 1.4 Ghz. to a very
different motherboard (Dual Core and so on). So, it's necessary to be
careful. At present it's impossible for me to spend time in a whole
rebuilding of the system. Anyhow, thank you very much for your message.
Best regards,
