Sony VAIO PCV-RZ24G Desktop (2.66-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my RZ24G desktop for 7 months and recently the dial up modem got a problem:it became so slow that it would take approx 15 min or much longer or sometimes wouldnot login due to 18kbps or under .My other PC works well using the same phone line(HP desktop).
I tried with all of my know-how but was unable to solve this problem,I called Sony and was shocked when The on line Agent told me that if I needed any warranteed work on my computer,I would have to somehow send it to San Diego,CA (I am not sure who would pay for shipping cost).I live in Bay Area,about 400 miles away fr San Diego.I am quite dissappointed after I found out how Sony warranties its products .
If I ever buy Sony Products again,I would certainly look into purchasing an In-store-warranty ,which I know this means an additional cost of 10 to 20% to the purchased price and this is probably good for 3 years.

Product Description:
An impressive mixture of power and versatility, the Sony Vaio PCV-RZ24G desktop has been developed for anyone who regularly drives their computer beyond the norm. Distinguished from the substantially costlier, top-of-the-line Vaio PCV-RZ26G in a number of performance-related areas, the luxurious Vaio PCV-RZ24G is nevertheless ready for many years of upgrade-free operation.
If speed is what you crave, the Vaio PCV-RZ24G delivers. Outfitted with a fast 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of premium PC-2700 333 MHz DDR memory (expandable to 1 GB), and a 533 MHz bus, it's ready to tackle anything you can throw its way. The only potentially suspect component is the graphics card, a 64 MB nVidia GeForce4 MX440. Although fully capable of handling the vast majority of applications, and equipped with a convenient TV tuner, it may have some problems smoothly rendering ultrahigh-end 3-D games and drawing or animation packages.
When it comes to data storage and movement, Sony has left nothing to chance. The system is fitted with a huge 120 GB 7,200 rpm Ultra ATA/100 hard disk for your frequently accessed programs and files, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for older or smaller applications, and a combination DVD-RW/CD-RW drive through which you can burn and play audio CDs, archive information, watch the latest cinematic releases, and create your own DVDs. To ensure fast interaction with peripherals such as digital camcorders, scanners, and external drives, the system also features a half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports and front- and rear-mounted IEEE 1394 FireWire connectors.
The Vaio PCV-RZ24G features numerous other amenities, including a VGA/DVI port for flat-panel displays, an S/PDIF out, two PS/2 ports, a pair of freestanding stereo speakers, and a handy Vaio Smart keyboard. Sony has not included a monitor, allowing you to use your current display or select from the many available choices.
