Resonably priced at $849; bought from circuit city last weekend. Seems to run apps such as photoshop CS3, Sony vegas movie studio and any of the MS office vista stuff without too much effort.
<br>
<br>I bought this to replace an older HP media center (P4 2.66GHz); wich has an onboard 128Mb NVIDIA graphics chipset. I'm sad to say that despite the dual core processor and 3Gb of PC5300 RAM that this computer will not outperform my older model (which I've had since 2002). I'm not asking for miracles - when I play FIFA07 even with the graphics set to as low a detail as possible the game behaves erratically. One minute it seems like slow motion and then next it runs normal.
<br>
<br>I have ordered a 512Mb graphics card to try out. If this does not cure the problem then I'll be taking the thing back!!!!
QuickTake:
Pros: Runs vista and apps such as photoshop smoothly
Cons: jerky gaming, even with game set to low detail
