[购物指南]

Looking for a good bargain on a well rounded desktop PC? Dell.ca has some candidates in the form of Vostro 220 PCs equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz E7300 Processors, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard drives, and Vista Basic for $399. You can choose from a standard case design with the Vostro 220, or a silm case design with the Vostro 220s. With a slim case design, expansion cards (such as discrete video cards) will need to be of the low profile variety. The configurations are identical otherwise. Full specs can be seen below.

The E7300 isn't too far behind the venerable E8400 processor (2.66GHz vs 3GHz and 3MB cache instead of 6). It's a good mix between price and performance. Other upgrades to consider include the 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450 (DVI+HDMI) for $70, Microsoft Works 9 for $0, or Microsoft Works Plus 2008 for $30. Shipping is free and it comes with the standard Vostro 30 day no hassle return policy (no return shipping, no restock fees). This is a pretty powerful computer at a very reasonable price.

If you're looking for a monitor to pair up with the system, Dell currently has the S2409W 24" Full HD Monitor (1920x1080, HDMI input) on sale for $319.99.
