Packard Bell Introduced the Aloh@ model of desktop computer in 2000. I can confirm the base model specs of the 4732c as this is the machine I own. I have listed those specs below. However, I have been looking for more information for several years, and have recently stumbled across some more model numbers and their configurations.
