Advantages: Nice Looking Case, Optical Drves Fit Colour, Nice Processor
Disadvantages: Somewhat low specs, exept P4 processor

Well, HP have moved on to computers now. Even though they only make 0.08% profit on each machine (compared to Dell's 8%) they still reamin true to their cause. As this is a HP machine the case is at a high standard and the optical and floppy drives match the colour of the case. The specs are just OK and the PC could be used for gameing, but not next gen. I think it would struggle with things like Farcry, but the P4 is a nice touch, though some would ... Read review

Advantages: Slim, Optional Stand, Fast
Disadvantages: Only 1 PCI Slot

In all the Compaq d530 USDT is a lovely machine to work on and to support, its slim design limits the amount of deskspace required and also the option of standing it up like a bookend is also another very appealing feature. The machine in general comes with a very fast Pentium 4 2.4ghz dual processor, 256 MB Ram (min) and at least a 40gb hard drive, so there is alot of nice components inside. The only thing that this type of compaq lacks is additional ...
...all so if you wanted to add anyting more then 1 extra component then you would be stuffed. We use alot of comapq machines and in terms of use in an office this is more then adequate to run all your normal programs and operating system, there is the option of upgrading or adding further memory if required, but so far i have not felt the need as the machine runs perfectly. ...

...high processor speed and also a high ability for the use of RAM. I got one and it allowed me to do pretty much anything that I wanted and also allowed me to up[grade it massively because I am one of these computer geek. Anyway back to the subject the Pentium four processor means that you can do multiple things at once whilst using the system as it is quite a high speed. I have seen faster going up to 4GHz but that was a very good computer. RAM stands ... Read review
