4 out of 5 eggsGreat Entertainment PC

Pros: We bought this system when AMD's quad core CPU's were just released and have found the low end 9500 to be completely satisfactory in its processing power and speed. That spoken, we discovered there's still almost no software being developed for quad core computing. The NVIDIA GPU is perfect for entertainment (DVD's etc) although lacking for serious gamers on new gaming releases' high settings. HP Support is excellent.

Cons: HP discounted the system by 20% a month after purchase - that smarted a bit! Our hard drive wasn't seated correctly, and some other minor problems, so we had to send in the machine for repair early on. The 20" HP Monitor we bought in a package deal is phenomenal - in a different league than the M8400F tower.

Other Thoughts: Next time we buy stock laptops, desktops and consumer electronics, we'll buy from NewEgg so we can compare the different OEMs' offers and go with the best at the sharpest price. This HP has taught us to shop around - which we can do on NewEgg, and that's a great convenience. So far as the little purchases we make continuously (DVD's, games etc), we'd love it if NewEgg opened a retail shop around the corner like we have with Best Buy!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat System

Pros: This is a great system for anyone. It is fast and has a ton of storage plus an HP Media Bay for their hardrives. The graphics card is great and works good with AERO. This computer is good for today and tommorow it has the newest AM2+ Socket, PCI Express x16, Old PCI, and PCI x1. The main reason I got this system is I wanted to run vista and I had ran it previously on a Turion X2 and the speed improvement is amazing. I think this is the best way to run Vista.

Cons: The only cons are it has only one original PCI slot and that it is prone to finger prints.

5 out of 5 eggsNice System for the price

Pros: Runs wow, plus some back ground programs without a problem. Get 50+ fps most of the time...easy set-up.

Cons: ONLY thing I can think of is...upgrading the memory to 4g total the case space is really tight. Would be nice to have vista64 on a 64bit system.

5 out of 5 eggsVery happy!

Pros: Easy setup! Computer is fast and appears well made.
I couldn't build one for anything close to this price. AMD Quad and 3gb of ram are plenty fast for my needs which are mainly personal investing and internet usage. I do watch DVD's and the High Definition abilities of the nvidea graphics card ran my movies without a glitch.
I almost forgot the system self checks and automatically
updates itself. Right after loading the unit loaded and installed some necessary updates including a Bios update that went as smooth as you could ask for. I am very impressed with this HP.

Cons: None as yet!

4 out of 5 eggsHP recovery / backup lacks

Pros: Nice setup. Lots of processing power and future performance expansion, since full speed isn't realized with existing configuration. Graphics and sound capability much better than I expected, can actually play some games out of the box.
Couldn't build a system for less money.

Cons: 32bit OS on 64bit hardware. Though, that may be more to do with ensuring stability, and if so, I'm OK with that. Speed is useless without stability. BACKUP and RECOVERY options are not the greatest. Can't backup Complete SYSTEM, just users files. Which means you will lose all your installed software if the harddrive crashes. Reinstalling dozens of programs and patches / updates is not my idea of a good backup plan.

Other Thoughts: The Vista Home Premium?? addition has a Windows Backup program which only stores categories of user data. It does not create a backup image and doesn't even create a backup of application files. Which means if your harddrive crashes, you will have to manually install all your application software and then re-install all the patches and updates again.
Next gripe is that you can only make one set of recovery disks using the recovery disk creation application ('Start -> All Programs -> PC Help & Tools -> Recovery Disk Creation'). Which means if your recovery disks are damaged, you can't make new ones.
As far as backups, I've read mixed stories about acronis true image 11. Some say it is a blessing, others say it is demonically possessed. Didn't establish confidence.
I used Knoppix 5.3.1 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb' command to clone Drive C: to Drive E: and then fixed clone drive using Recovery disk 1of3 with 'advanced option' & 'fix / repair' option. Clone works fine.
