Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Compaq’s Presario 6300 series lineup of desktop PCs includes an impressive range of models offering extensive combinations of performance, expandability, multimedia features, and bundled software. The entry-level Presario 6300 offers a strong mix of budget-priced computing power, expandability, networkability, and graphics and multimedia support for basic home office and gaming needs--particularly for consumers who already own a monitor and speakers.

A 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron processor delivers cost-effective, solid performance for running a wide range of productivity applications and popular PC games. The tower system’s 40 GB hard drive provides more than ample application and data file storage capacity for typical home office PC users. Its 128 MB of 133 MHz DDR SDRAM--expandable to 512 MB--and 32 KB of primary cache with 256 KB of secondary cache make it easy to run several productivity applications simultaneously.

The 14.5-by-16.6-by-6.9-inch Presario 6300 tower includes a 48x CD-ROM drive, a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppy disk drive, a 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet port, and an integrated 56K V.90 modem. Expansion options include three PCI slots (two available), two 5.25-inch bays (one available), and one external and two internal 3.5-inch bays (one internal bay available).

Connecting peripherals to the Presario 6300 is flexible and easy through four USB ports (two front, two rear), an external VGA monitor port, and single serial and parallel ports. The system includes a Compaq PS/2 Internet keyboard and a Compaq PS/2 scroller mouse.

Installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 6.0, Microsoft Money 2002, Microsoft Encarta Online Deluxe, Intuit Quicken Financial Center/Quicken 2002 New User Edition, RecordNow powered by Veritas, Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0, Norton AntiVirus 2002 with six months of free upgrades, and two free Game Channel titles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheapest computer I could find..., December 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Compaq Presario 6300US Desktop PC (1.4 GHz Celeron, 128MB RAM, 40GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)

I needed to replace an aging computer. With limited dollars to
spend I looked for the cheapest computer I could find. The
Compaq 6300 was it. After setting up the computer it turned on and worked! This is a bare bones computer great for email, word docs and internet surfing. On the minus side the box looks cheaply made. When a CD is inserted in the CD drive the drive is very noisy. If this computer last more than 4 years I will be
very happy.
