Disadvantages: Vista

...word I can use for HP is trust. I never have serious issues with HP servers or workstations. This workstation is very solid looking, if a bit bland. It has a good quality feel and seems bullet-proof! It has an incredibly powerful processor and a decent amount of Ram, which is what makes all the difference when doing work. Dare I say it, but put a decent graphics card in an you would have a decent gaming machine! This is a business workstation, ...
...is perhaps unfair to criticise HP for a Microsoft product, but is part of the purchase price. I have found that it tends to crash and slow down at the most ridiculous times, and it gets incredibly irritating.

Advantages: fast in processing with sophisticated features.
Disadvantages: might not be known by every body.

This is the first time of using an athlon processor for a long time; I have been used to Intel processor since using personal computers. Well I bought this because of the processor type of the computer, which is athlon AMD 64x2 5000+/2.6ghz. It has tower production form factor, which means that it has a tower CPU type. Well I got this because of two major factors; the number one factor is because of the processor type, which is athlon, and second ...
...I have observed one major thing between Intel and athlon processor and found out that the athlon processor is much faster than the Intel processor but Intel being the oldest computer chip makers must have dominated the market.

Advantages: Good value, runs most common apps well
Disadvantages: Struggles with high intensity graphics apps and games

...nothing special here, quite typical Dell styling - neat and clean, but not particularly eye catching! Finally, high intensity programs such as professional design apps and games, this PC will simply not cope! Personally I would not recommend Dell for this as, having used a number of different models, come no where close to a custom built PC for the same price. ... Read review
