Thanks for your help, this might help you to work out more about my pc (full spec which dell sent to me (September 05):
Dell Precision 380 - Intel Pentium 4 Processor 670 (3.8GHz,2MB Cache,800MHz FSB)
Vertical Chassis Orientation (Minitower, W: 170,2 x H: 447.3 x D: 468.4 mm) with IEEE1394 Front Connector
