Very upgradabe for minor cost |
This PC is very solid performer. As other have stated it comes pretty bare bones for $400-$500 dollars. (...)
I upgraded to 1GB, added an internal DVD +RW burner, added a PC TV Card, added a 128MB graphics card and a Firewire card. I also have a 120GB external hard drive and an external HP 300e DVD burner. I also use a digital camera and camcorder. With the exception of the NVIDIA Graphics card I used rebates on the other upgrades.
The machine now SMOKES!!!
I burn CDs & DVDs, edit videos, watch TV, download using Comcast cable at 400kbs and surf the WEB - all at the same time with little or very minimal processor delay.
I have been very happy with the machine. If I had bought a similiarly configured machine I would have paid hundreds more.
My best suggestion for those interested in this or a similar machine is make sure you have plenty of memory - I suggest 1GB is the best investment you can make. Also, 40GB drive is too small for today's apps.
I would not recommend this machine as it comes out of the box unless all you want to do is surf the WEB on a dial-up modem and do simple word processing. |

i love this pc i got it as a birthday present and it is awsome. it runs multiple files so easily.mine came with 248 MB of ram and 2.60 GHZ i got it at wall-mart for $500.the only reason i gave it 4 stars is because it does not run games to perfectly.but,it downloads things(like songs,and games) very fast.all around a good computer(even though it is a little noisy)
p.s. i love the burner/compact disk combo drive |

Solid starting machine... just add RAM! |
| This is a solid starter computer. Note the two different cosmetic faces this computer can have. All you need to do is add ram. I added a 512mb PC2100 chip ($99 05/04) to this machine and it flies. I can play Madden 2004 just fine. Regularly, I will have opera full of windows, adobe photoshop, macromedia dreamweaver, winamp, seti@home, antivirus, two messenger programs running... and the computer is well under control. I can flip back and forth to windows with ease without any problems. If you want to play the latest games, then ofcourse, you're to need a better machine with a dedicated video card, but otherwise this is a great machine for 95% of tasks. The case has a small footprint, which I like. Note that I didn't use the modem, but the onboard network card is fine and I threw a second hard drive in with ease. The front USB ports are handy. |
