Fantastically quick delivery, received mine on Wednesday after having ordered it late on Sunday night.

Just a quick question, does anyone know the Windows XP password to log on as the Main System Administrator? I know when you set up the pc for the first time you create a user account with Administrator privileges. But I would also like to log in as the Main System Administrator but am unable to do so as I don't know the password. Tried to unsuccessfully log in with a blank password as well, but no luck

Any help would be much appreciated

If you mean no parallel port to connect a printer to - you are right there isn't one.

Solution:
1. Buy a USB printer
2. Buy a cable USB - parallel

Will the difference not be the ATI 9800pro? I will do another run tomorrow and make sure no other processes are running. Your mate would not be exaggerating would he?

As an example - I ran this on my laptop which is - a Pentium M 1.86GHz 1.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800

I got 50,614

So I would have thought you should be somewhere in that ballpark as the 6800 is also a 256 card.

When it tells you the score at the end it shows the CPU and Graphics mark....multiplied together gives the final score. You can thus tell which mark is low.

No Dell support on Sun! Looks like they forgot to connect my DvD Rw etc. up. Two white connectors (A+B) just hanging there B covered so looks like A hasn't been put in. Am waiting for their response. Probably a long wait. Irony

amancalledchip

machine only came with 2 drives.
the hard drive and the dvdrw
if you didnt have the hard drive, or it wasnt there, it wouldnt boot to windows.

if the dvd is not live, then when you do get into windows the dvd wont work, wont even show in my computer.

take it the white plug you mean is what is know as a molex connector.
about 40mm x 10mm with four wires to it, ( 2 black 1 yellow and 1 red)

like this one:

amancalledchip.Your dead right! My Computer only has Local Disk(3)on it.This molex thingy must connect the power to the Dvd.Looks simple enough for me to deal with but I leave it until Mon;Dell might respond by then. Incase anyone wonders,I have never used Dvd Rw before & spent most of the time getting updates/ & trying to transfer my E-Mail accounts etc. Put more simple I'm not very computer savvy yet.
Thanks again.Irony

I did not realise that you need to multiply them togther. Is it multiplied or added?
