Lots of power for the price
Review of HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f - Phenom X4 9500 2.2 GHz by
sreerajvs
Advantages: Another addition that would be nice is a WiFi card.
Disadvantages: Unlike other Media systems from HP,one does not have the built-in TV tuner.
...less than 2 years. The HP is GREAT. MUCH faster than the laptop (a Duo Core, 2GB Ram). I really like the Personal Media Drive option, although I was not sure I would like it when I purchased the HP. Very convienent to just slide in a big HD, useful both for backing up and archiving important data.
HP honestly is a little more cheap when it comes to parts than Dell. But if you take good care of your PC you shouldn't have any problems. I had to return ...

Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: None
Be sure the PC is equipped with at least 1GB of memory, and it's a good bet that you'll be able to smoothly run Vista. . Graphics are less of a concern for most businesses, unless you run a design shop. At minimum, you'll want a desktop computer with enough power (read: dual-core CPU) for multitasking your daily office chores.

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. ...
