Reviewing: Hp Pavillion A6323w Desktop Pc W/ Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+
Purchased at: Walmart     Price: $678.00 USD

HP Pavilion a6323w Desktop PC w/ AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5200+ - I got this computer about a month ago. So far it seems like a great computer.It got a 5200 processor. I would have preferred more of a 5600 but this is fine. It has 3 gb RAM . The hardrive is huge and holds 720gb.Its much faster than my old computer. Comes with a CD/RW DVDRW combo. Not sure what to do with the second cd slot but it has one incase you want to put something there. Also has a slot for an HP Pocket media bay but you have buy it. The only bad things about it are:

-While I have not tried it I am almost positive that the graphics card would need to be better if you are a hardcore gamer. I say this because usually HP's gaming computers usually are around 800 dollars and up. Not a big deal for me.

-Expandability, and I am not sure of this but I imagine it only expands to 4GB. Not a big deal for me because I generally do not expand computers. I use them for 3-7 years and then I get a new one. My old HP was 7 years old.

-Has Vista on it and and the newest Internet Explorer. However, Vista can be tweaked to look a little more like XP. Unfortunately the new Internet Explorer 8 is a piece of crap so I put Mozilla Firefox on it.

-Does not come with a monitor but I have one.

Overall I am very pleased with this computer.

It sounds like overall this is a good computer for the money. I just got a new laptop that has Vista on it and I am trying to figure it all out still. Being my first laptop, sometimes I'm not sure if it's the laptop or the Vista and when I ask my husband about it, he has no idea because he never uses the Vista.

I googled "how to make vista look like XP" and I got some tips on how to change things which helped me. lol
