The Microtel SYSWM4007 is one of the variants in Microtel's line of budget desktop PCs. Like its SYSWM5017 cousin, the SYSWM4007 is powered by an AMD 1.5 GHz Sempron 2200+ processor with 3DNow! Technology. Although default RAM is 256MB, memory is expandable up 2 GB (though only one DIMM slot is available.) The Microtel SYSWM4007 has four USB ports and a floppy drive, while internal expansion is limited to only one PCI and one AGP slot.
Unlike the SYSWM5017 however, this model comes loaded with an OS and a gamut of software needed for web browsing and VOIP. The Xandros SurfSide Linux has a built-in firewall and anti-virus application.
Curiously, the SYSWM4007 comes installed with software for burning DVDs and CDs, even though the installed drive is a basic, 52x CD-ROM drive. Nonetheless, budget-conscious shoppers may find this package a good deal. Although cheaper by $10, it features almost the same hardware as the SYSWM5017, with bundled software thrown in.
