Default What do u think of this system? - 07-27-2004, 05:46 PM
ProcessorAMD athlon 64 3400 2.2GHz
OS-Windows XP home edition
Memory-1GB DDR/PC3200
HD-160GB 7200rpm
CD Drive-8x DVD + RW/+R drive(DVD writer+CD writer combo)
Graphics Card-Radeon 9800 256mb
Sound Card-Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Monitor-15" flat panel
Speakers-Altec Lansing VS 2121 2.1 speakers

This is on HewlettPackard's site. Came to around 1500 with mail in rebate. I went to a custom guy in Queens who came up with a similar system except that it came with a 120 GB hd, Radeon 9800 128mb, 17" CRT monitor, and speakers werent as good and it came to between 1600-1700. I figured the custom guy would be cheaper but he wasnt. Do u think it would just be better to spend the extra 100 and buy from guy cause im not to sure about HewlettPackard. Anyone ever buy from them or have any friends that have bought from them?

Good deal.

Make sure to overclock your 9800 to an XT.

The only thing i don't like about it is:

Video card: New box should come with the newest Radeon X800 card
15" flatscreen: Get a 21" CRT for slightly more $$$
Speakers: Give them to your sister and buy yourself either 4.1 or 5.1 surround sound.

Other than that, the system is pretty good and should serve well for a few yrs.

The world is my urinal
