Advantages: Small, Powerful, easy to use
Disadvantages: For more proffesional use it would need upgrading.

The compaq Evo D500 p4 1.6ghz is a good pc in many ways 1)The graphics card has a 3d hardware accelerator so you can play basic 3d games. This isn't integrated so that means that you can take it out and put in a new one I did exactly that and that turned it into a gaming machine. 2) It has 256 mb of Ram in one slot and there are three so again lots of room for upgrading but unless you want' to do a high powered process like video editing 256 is plenty ...
...has a 20gb Hard drive this is good because it means that the pc can stay small as this isn't a very big hard drive and if you are thinking of buying it do not be put off by this as you can get an external hard drive these days for about £60. I gave this pc 4 stars because it is very practicle as it is small yet powerful and with 2 pci slots you could add things like usb 2.0 or firewire. Great overall computer and i would reccomend to anyone no ... Read review

Advantages: compact
Disadvantages: none as such

The Compaq Evo D300v is a future proof PC for any bigginer or an ideal gift for a relative seeking his/her first/second PC. Its quite fast and is able to perform many tasks in a respectable amount of time. The 20GB Hard Disk isn't big but it's plenty of space if you just need a PC for general use, e.g. surfing the net and writing letters. It's not a paritcaully powerfull PC and only comes with basic sound and graphics capabilities, but this is ...

Advantages: Quality brand supported by HP
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest for spec

Speed This is more than sufficient for the majority of core computing requirements such as office applications, lets face it if you require a P.C. for graphic design or extensive database work you would be looking at something higher end. Reliability I have been involved in the acquisition of over 60 of these in the last 12 months and not 1 has failed in any shaper or form! Memory/capacity More than sufficient for core corporate or SOHO work, ...
...network or external back up solution is available, otherwise look at the 500 series which has a larger hard drive. ram is sufficient but easily and cheaply upgradeable. Extra Features Very few other than a range of keyboard shortcuts which are programmable and useful. Design Black and silver look is reasonably modern and suitable for most office enviroments but nothing spectacular. Manufacturer Support In my opinion the best in the business, ... Read review

...is enough RAM for this processor to provide a good and fast work without any troubles. Hard drive could be larger but it's not to bad if you clean your drive regulary. And ofcourse there are a floppy drive and CD-rom which you may choose. Also you may choose the operational system you like Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP2 / XP Professional. I prefer XP Professional as a well-structured and easy in use. Make your step in technology evolution! ... Read review

Advantages: quiet and fast
Disadvantages: none

...So when hubby suggested a compaq I was a bit dubious. A couple of weeks later he bought me a second hand Evo D500. I looked at the Specs and it was way better than my old box of bones. 512 of ram , a nice p4 1.6 chip 20gig hard drive and a cd rom.... nice The first thing I did was strip it of its case- (i love taking things apart) to find out how easy it would be to add my essential bits and bobs. The case came apart very easily. It had been fitted ...
...came with Windows XP and Compaq software (which wasnt intrusive at all) and the Compaq software that you didnt want could be uninstalled without causing any problems. All in All I was very happy with my fast, quiet,new PC . As for price, like I said, I had this second hand so I dont know the new price, and I dont think compaq sell this actual model anymore, but I wouldnt hesitate to buy another Compaq machine. So if you are in the market for a good ... Read review
