i bought this before i started gaming it starts with a sucky video card like only 1 mb and an ok 128 mb of ram but if your looking for a good gaming computer, that you dont want to upgrade then this is not your computer. I have upgraded it but it is hard to find a good video card for this computer because it has pci slots and most have agp but if your looking for a good coputer for work then this is it all-in-all its ok.

When reformatting the drive the petition that holds all of the xp and files includeing drivers are lost HP no longer includes backup discs,so you either have to buy the xp or re-install an earlier version,I installed win98 SE with little problems other than having to install an additional pci sound card due to the unavailability of the driver not being offered on the HP site.

But I picked up a new 4 ch sound card at ebay for less than $10.00

overall for performance it handles multitasking very well I havent had any blue screens yet,so ill keep my fingers crossed.

excellant machine,the only disadvantage ive seen is that it came with a Trigem Lomita motherboard which is pretty crappy as it fails to utlise the fairly hardy 1.10 ghz intell processor and the limited board only supporting up to 512mb ram,so if you run intensive graphics such as 3d the onboard intell i810e(discontinued)graphics chip isnt enough as it only allows 1mb system ram to be allocated for graphics,though it does come with 5 pci slots it wouldve been a little better if the motherboard had also came with a graphic slot as my old AST Adventure 100mhz allowed 1mb and could be upgraded on board an additional meg.

Last month I desperatly needed to replace my old hp from 1995. This brand new hp is fantastic. It's fast enough, has all the necessary programs you need, and offers a nice gaming experience. For sound, the Polk Audio speakers work very well.

The computer has a nice, sleek, metallic blue and silver look. It has easy to access USB and Serial ports in the front, along with a 48x CD Drive and a nice CD storage area at the the top. I didn't buy an hp monitor mainly because it's horrendously ugly (my reason for giving it 4 stars). I picked up a satisfying ViewSonic monitor with a nice silver color.

Windows XP is fantastic. The new start menu is very nice, and the program offers so much more than previous Windows installments. Plus, the program has a very modern look to compete with the current efforts of Apple's fancy new systems.

All in all, if you just need a fast computer for the needs of any computer junkie, I'd strongly reccomend this hp.
