Two points, It does NOT come with a floppy drive however a external USB floppy drive is avaliable from HP for $49. Also I have'nt yet found a way to install a second internal hard drive. Those are really my only two complaints. A top notch fast multi media system. It DOES come with Microsoft Works and Money plus a bunch of graphic software.

This system replaced a 2 year old Gateway equipped with a Intel Pentium IV processor rated also at 2.2 gh. The HP is a noticeable faster machine. Flight Sim 2001 runs with measurable faster frame rates. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I purchased the computer about a year ago and am pleased with its processing speed and ablility do run differnt programs easily. I also love the fact that it comes with 6 months of norton so every six i back up everything and reboot the comp cause im to lazy to by a year package. I have been able to run games like Diablo 2 and other games but recently i tried to install Age of Empires 3 and it runs it but doesnt have the graphics to run it smoothly. If u enjoy your pc games dont buy it if u just want to search the internet and all those little things its a great comp.

After two weeks of use I will say that this unit is probably worth the money and I've enjoyed the digital photo editing features. However, after deleting all of the superfluous junk that's always bundled into a new PC I still find the comp a little slow under multi task load. Also, the first game I installed was Sid Meier's Pirates. It will not run. The integrated motherboard graphics aren't up to the task. I'm looking for a new VGA card that won't overheat my system now. If you're a gamer, don't buy this unit. AS
