Review of HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f - Phenom X4 9500 2.2 GHz by
nafkebo
Advantages: complete spec
Disadvantages: none
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 ... ...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 ...

Another Box
Review of HP Pavilion a6430f - Phenom X3 8400 2.1 GHz by
Pykeechaineee
Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: None
...to troubleshoot with help from HP I returned this computer to the store too and picked up another computer that was totally different than this one. My new computer is a quad core Pentium and it works just fine. I think this may be a situation where the hardware isn't compatible with Windows Vista as advertised. Maybe it works fine with XP but if you're running Vista or intend to in the future go with another box. ...

Dependable
Review of HP Pavilion Elite m9150f - Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz by
Pykeechaineee
Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: None
It is little harder to install XP to a SATA hdd on Intel Chipset motherboard.You should have an option in BIOS setup to switch hdd controller from SATA mode to IDE,or perhaps a "Both" setting.
If not you will have to load the driver during install or slipstream it into a new XP cd.

HP Pavilion Slimline s3320f
Review of HP Pavilion Slimline s3320f - Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6 GHz by
iisapalamang
Advantages: fast, powerful
Disadvantages: none
...You should try using the HP Pavilion Slimline s3320f is quite that efficient and very stylish. The processor which I believe has high performance, the Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6 GHz that will load your games and programs faster than ever. With a whooping memory size of 2 GB / 4 GB (max) DDR II SDRAM so you can do more in this desktop computer. This desktop PC has also a 500 GB standard Serial ATA-300 7200 rpm so that in this manner, you will not worry ... ...because it is so powerful, good for music editing.
Also included with one of the best video card, the NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE will probably give you the best possible graphics. To give you more entertaining experience, the High Definition Audio which will give you the best audio quality.
I hope that the price of this desktop will be lowered because I really want to buy this thing. This is really a PC of the century. ...
