Why do so many people dislike Dell?

Is it because the company is so successful? People always hate successful companies.

I don't like Dell for the simple fact that it's harder to addon components without causing it to freak out. We had a computer in our art class and the teacher wanted to add another stick of ram and they had to buy a $120 dollar stick of 512 only because it only, was compatible.

Isn't Apple the same way? Proprietary and difficult to add any new components on from third parties?

Which type of RAM was it? Dell does not use standard memory sticks?

As long as the parts are compatible there's no problem.

I didn't bother to ask. It's not my pc.

They were probably TOLD by someone in Dell support department that they would need to buy the memory upgrade from Dell in order for it to work on their computer. What they were told was probably not true. I doubt that they really needed to buy from Dell, any generic memory would of worked. My girlfriend who is very computer illiterate has a Dell computer, and often calls me to help her with it. When she needed to upgrade her memory, I ran to a local store and picked up generic memory and it worked fine in her computer.

I can't believe the teacher paid $120 for a memory chip. Should of had one of her students check the computer out and do the upgrade for her.

That was awesome. I too am surprised that they allowed him to go on as long as he did. At least the audience got a charge out of the call.

Let us not forget the RamBUS debacle. It is *quite* possible that the Dell in question was running RIMM's, and as such, *that* would explain the price differential.

I had a friend that was upgrading his girlfriend's Dell, and it was a bit older... and it used RIMM's instead of DIMM's... very frustrating to find memory for it, and then when we did.... it's price was WAY out of line for the quantity being purchased.

RamBUS pissed me off something fierce. I am glad to see it gone from the desktop in it's original form.

RIMM's were a lot faster then DIMM's were'nt they? Didn't Apple also use those in their computers?

If they were better then they would still be in use. DIMMS are an improvement over RamBUS.

Its not the problems with the PC's as much as it is customer support, which everyone I know who owns a Dell has had trouble with. Dells are relatively easy to upgrade, but older ones they are expensive, especially if they run on RDRAM like mine. Shop around for dual sticks and it gets pretty pricey. Also, the towers they have are not well ventilated, at least not the one that I have, with only the rear grate.

As I said, I own two Dells. ^^ I don't hate them, but I'd sure like to kick mine on occasion.

Actually Dark, I saw that video live on Jimmy Kimmel....that's where it's from. I believe the good crew at the Kimmel show dubbed in the caller's side of the conversation. Still funny though.
