I might have gotten a lemon. The processor was extremely slow and software download very difficult. HP is generally a good product, however, this one had something wrong with it. I returned it within 2 days. Amazon had no problems accepting the return and crediting my account.

I must say this thing is blazing fast and its not meant for gaming but, it runs WoW pretty good. I get about 25 to 30 FPS and random latency. Its REALLY hard to upgrade anything about this thing. The graphic card is integrated to the motherboard and this thing is not neat and organized on the inside its a wired mess. I would give this a five if I could only uprgade a few things but i cant.

I bought this computer 6 months ago from newegg. I wanted something cheap that I could use for college and also a good starter pc for gaming. After putting in a new mid-range graphics card this computer could handle every game I threw at it on ultra high settings. There are two reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

One is that it comes with so much bloatware you'll spend the first week just deleting the garbage off of it, and then have to worry about your registry having errors because they made important software dependent on the bloatware, but that is expected when you buy premade. Two is that it didn't come with any case fans. I bought 2 and installed them myself, it runs loud, but never overheats. The only other thing I could say is that if you put a 3rd party graphics card in it you should probably get a new power supply. It's good enough to handle my card since it has it's own fan, but some higher end cards might be too much for it.

Overall this computer was great for the price I paid. It's blazing fast for most processes. It slows down to a halt every once and a while, but that's because of Windows 7. Windows 7 has holes in it that leaks memory when you run certain programs, and they don't seem to want to bother fixing it.

I've had this PC about a month, it replaced my 7 year old HP 735N. I really like the A4310F - it's mostly used for editting digital photographs. Windows 7 is a little different, but I'm getting used to it. The only issue I have with the PC is the backup utilities - they don't seem to work (or I haven't figured out how to make use them properly).

It was impressive when it worked. Unfortunately, it kept freezing unpredictably, and I could not get it to restore with restore points (some of which I set myself), or even stop doing that when I used a disk image I created when it was working. I then used system restore to stat over, but had the same problem again.

the computer was too nuch expensive, In staples store higher memory with monitor the same price to the one I purchse.
