4.0 out of 5 stars Bang for the Buck !, April 26, 2002

By A Customer

Bought this system a few weeks ago, and I have to admit it is a smooth running box. Burnt a CD today, in less than 3 minutes. playing the newest titles with not a hitch, Jedi Outcast, Wolfenstein, even Head to Head with my son via our LAN. very feature packed, and a very clean system. I was leary of the AMD Chip, but those fears were put to rest. preforms very fast. I bought my other half a new P4 system, that is comparable, but mine will out perform that one. It is a Choice that you have to decide, but will tell you this, i am very satisfied with it, Also check compaq.com to see about a rebate on the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, April 28, 2002

By A Customer

I have noticed 100% faster from my older computer Pentium4 1.3Ghz. Internet plays ultra fast! Especially download files. Not too mention the biggest and fastest hard rive I found it from Compaq . Looks like nothing is missing here, DVD and Burners works like a champ, without and small slowdowns. What I like the most is extremely fast CPU with QuantiSpeed Architecture(more operations per cycle, ultra fast!) DDR memory! Athlon XP is highly popular now among PC magazines and Window XP, it won more awards from Pentium 4!!! Softwares are very easy for making music, and Pinacle Studio is really nice too, I can finally make my own video movies from my digital camera on the computer, it is very simple to use. I have been using this powerful machine for a week now, and I did not experienced and thing funny with this system.(This is my 4Th upgraded since 95) I love Compaq with Athlon XP 1600+ highly recommend this system for people who want best performance money can buy! Very nice package from Compaq , for sure you will not be disappointed. Thank you for such a great product!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay speed but loud!, May 15, 2002

By A Customer

I've had this PC for about three weeks and so far its been good and bad.

The good part is it is much faster than my old K6 but much slower than my brother's Gateway 2GHz P4. He had it over the other day for some head to head gaming and his screamed at higher settings. Mine cost less though!!! And so far all but the newest games run great. I did notice the new Castle Wolfenstein was a little choppy, but I have so many older games I have been ithcing to play I don't mind. For [more money] I can buy a new video card and play anything I want.

The other thing is the noise! This thing is loud! I could hardly hear my brother's P4 but my fan on my Compaq is a persistent loud hum. I have taken to turning on music in the background to drown it out. I called Compaq to see if I needed a new fan and the guy told me it was normal. Funny they didn't mention it in the add!
