The good: Puts the dual-core AMD Athlon 64 X2 to good use; improved support.
The bad: Reduced-volume case neither saves that much space, nor give you room for upgrading; no Wi-Fi option.
The bottom line: The Dimension C521 is significant because it's one of the first Dell PCs to include an AMD processor, and Dell uses it to good effect. Unfortunately, that doesn't save this system from Dell's failure to incorporate any of the virtues of a modern space-saving PC.
Specs: Processor: AMD AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (2.00 GHz); RAM installed: 1 GB; Hard drive: 250 GB See full specs >>
