Acer Aspire L5100 Refurbished Desktop PC
This Acer Veriton small desktop computer comes loaded with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor running at 2.2GHz and with 1MB of cache. It also has 3GB of DDR2 SODIMM memory, a 320GB SATA hard drive, gigabit LAN, and integrated ATI Radeon X1250 graphics with DVI, HDMI, and DVI-VGA adapter. You also get a DVD and CD burner that can burn DVD-RAM discs. All these features run on an AMD 690G chipset motherboard with S/PDIF connector. All running with security and stability with an Microsoft's Windows Vista Home Premium. A multimedia keyboard and mouse and a set of speakers complete this package.

AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor
Frustrated by staring at the hourglass icon as soon as you try to work on more than three programs at once, especially when you’re working with digital media? Increase your performance with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor. Work or play with multiple programs without any stalling or waiting. Dual-core technology is like having two processors, and two working together is better and faster than one working alone. Do more in less time with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor.

Ultra Compact Desktop Computer.
This ultra-compact system has a physical volume of just over three quarts (three liters), about one-tenth the size of typical tower desktops. The almost-silent operation of the Acer Veriton (26 decibels, better than the industry standard) is conducive to a productive work environment. In addition, its low power consumption prolongs component life and reduces long-term costs. Measuring just 9.8" (W) x 7.8" (D) x 2.4" (H), the Acer Veriton PC occupies less space than an letter-sized sheet of paper allowing it to be easily integrated into any office environment and adapt as your business expands. With its ultra compact form, the Acer Veriton is more than ten times smaller than modern tower PCs for a cleaner and quieter work area.

Empowering Technology KEY
Empowering Technology lets users quickly access frequently-used functions and settings. Empowering Technology is unique among the world's leading computer brands, letting users accomplish common tasks and configurations through one simple touch of the Empowering Key and a quick 1-2-3 process.

Recieved on time Mouse key board cobo does not work, The keyboard has a missing two parts, tried to call Acer waited on line for ever no response left a message no call back, called Tiger Direct they are looking into the matter I hope they will replace the defective key board and mouse combo.

REVIEW BY: TigerDirec Reviewed  Oct 03, 2008
The desktop itself is just fine! Very small size, very good looking. I love it. The only thing I was not impressed is the missing wireless mouse in the box (there was wire mouse instead). Also the DVI-to-VGA adaptor was missing. I've contacted with TigerDirect support (which itself is very good) and they send me another wireless mouse and keyboard for free, however the quality of this new set is very poor and unfortunately the connectior type for the keyboard and mouse is PS/2 and this model has only USB ports.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Sep 21, 2008
Has been a problem ever since I got it. First the keyboard and mouse that came with it did not work, so I had to go get a usb keyboard and mouse, then It worked great for one day, The second day it would not play Dvd's then the thrid day it would turn on, but no signal to the monitor... even hooked the monitor up to another computer to make sure It wasnt on my end. And I made a back up disk, just like they tell you to, that was the first thing i did, and it didnt work... because It wouldnt read any dvds. Because it is referbished you cant send it back, you have to go threw acer. Just keep that in mind when ordering.

Received as described, on time. This tiny machine will make you think it cost a fortune. All around good performer, good speed, great value. Only issue was that the wrong power cord was sent out packaged with unit and VGA to HDMI adapter not in box as decribed. BEWARE. A little over 2 weeks later, we are up and running. This machine is hooked up to Acer's 22'' MONSTROUS lcd which looks phenomenal. Highly recommended.

Even The Best Hard Drives Die.  Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.

Data loss can be very costly, particularly for organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial impact on companies of all sizes:

Data type Time to re-create 20 MB Cost
Sales and marketing 19 days $17,000
Accounting 21 days $19,000
Engineering 42 days $98,000

The financial impact on a company is a combination of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of data can be extensive!

Your best solution, is an external drive as a backup.  You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.

Why Do I Have Less Drive Space?
Your hard drive may show less space than the published specifications due to a number of reasons.
  1. The way size is calculated and displayed.
  2. Any "Partitions" on the disk will change the total in a specific partition.
  3. Hidden files and folders decrease available space.
  4. Compression increases the apparent size, but not the physical size.
  5. Drives larger than the OS or Drivers natively supports.

First, the definition of a megabytes (or gigabytes) is a unit of data storage capacity measured in 1,048,576 bytes (or 1024KB). The larger the numbers, the more apparent the size difference will be when listing the size as megabytes (or gigabytes) versus bytes. Actually, both numbers are correct. The noticeable difference is due to the 1024KB definition of a megabyte. This is why a 95.3GB hard drive can also be listed as having 102 billion bytes of total space.  Just think of it as "round off"  In the screen shot at right: The first number is the total number of bytes, the second number is based on the number of megabytes or gigabytes.

Second, some computers have a non-DOS hard drive partition that is used for features such as Save to Disk, Hibernation, or Recovery. This partition is not normally reported by the operating system, although it can be viewed using a disk partition utility.  This is very common on desktops and laptops.  NOTE: Partition information will be created or formatted automatically during initial system setup and a system recovery.

Third, by default, all system files are hidden and cannot be seen. This may adversely affect the reporting of available hard drive space. You can set your Folder Options so you view system and hidden files and folders, but do be careful as changes to system files can adversely affect your system.

Fourth, if you turn on Compression for a drive, it will increase reported free space and used space, but since compression is based upon the actual contents, this number is not fixed, but will change as files are added or changed.

Fifth, older operating systems did not support some of today's larger drives, so the total space reported may be much smaller than the drive specifications.

It is also worth noting that bad sectors are corrected by your operating system and can change the total drive space, free space, or used space as well.

So as long as a drive is reporting a value approximately close to the specification value, you can be comfortable that you received the right drive and that you are getting to correct data storage.  Of course, tuning of your drive's partitions and options can yield optimal values, but this is not something for the average user to explore.

Got Enough Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding your system memory!

The best time to add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One. Click Here for our Memory Upgrade Options. »

Shared Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card). Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor (CPU) and its graphics chip.

The result is that some systems will have shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your video.

What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact display resolutions, and other video capabilities.

The simplest solution is usually to either: increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed. However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable memory. The actual useable memory may be different from these values. The reason is simply that a computer may configured to use shared memory, which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings, and by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.

But always remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed memory. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .

NOTE REGARDING RECOVERY MEDIA
Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs or DVDs used to restore your computer system to its factory shipped state). This is not specific to systems purchased from one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.
