It’s main features are pretty impressive for a workstation PC. It comes with an Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz socket 478 processor, giving you more than enough power for everyday operations and more.
Memory is a larger than usual 1GB, this provides a lot of extra room for running a whole host of programs while doing work or playing games. Unfortunately all of the memory slots are taken up, which means that if you want to upgrade you will have to replace one or two that are in there already. But with 1GB of DDR333/PC-2700 memory in there, you probably won’t need to upgrade before you need a new computer.
The hard drive is a huge 160GB monster. As well as it’s large size, it also boasts the newer kind of connection SATA to connect to the motherboard inside the computer. This new faster technology combined with the 7200RPM rotation speed of the drive allow fast transfer, speeding up the computer.
The DVD writer is not out of place in a machine like this, as DVD writers become more and more common, so they will become the norm. It is not the highest speed drive you can buy, but will do the job more than satisfactorily.
The graphics is handled by a seperate nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX400 video card with 32MB of memory, which is plugged into the the AGP 4x video card slot in the computer. This video card will be more than enough for even the home user who decides to put their skill to test with 3D games. It will not however provide enough for the hard core gamer, but that’s not really the intention of this computer.
It has all the usual extras that come with new computers including: a Network port for LAN support, a mouse and USB.
This computer will serve well in almost any environment. It’s wide array of features mean that it will be a long while before it will need to be upgraded. You also can’t ignore the after sales service offered by HP Compaq. A top desktop computer with a good specification.
