HI, I am a graduate students in Texas A&M University. I have
some questions about the compatibility of Dell Optiplex GX270 series desktop
and Windows XP services pack2. It bother me a lot. Hope I can get the solution here. Thank you very much!

I am now using a Dell Optiplex GX270 desktop, which is bought by our
department in 2003. Some days ago, I updated the Windows XP services pack2
on-line. However, when I finished installation, I found the speed of
accessing network becomes very slow, even sometime the computer cannot
access network at all. Then, I have to remove services pack2 from the system. After
that, my computer is working well.

Below is the configuration of the desktop

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium 4 3.2G Hz, 2 cpus
RAM: 512M

 

No other firewalls installed

The TCP/IP setting is correct and I can access the network without problem with only service pack 1

 

Does any body have the idea to handle the problem? I appreciate your help greatly!!

 

Thanks again!

 

Best,
