system runss fast enough with 2.16 ghz processor which is duo core. It has a 120 g hard drive and 1 g memory. Have found that system spec is sufficient just for bsic use. I wul say that though i will be having to upgrade my memory shortly due to intrnet usage and the system running vista have notced and ahev been advised also that vista does use much more ram and hard drive than tht of xp and millenium so 2 g is what is usually advised. Viewing sites on the internet etc and other actions such as have slowed down a little, but only because an upgrade on the ram is needed.
Is a good machine for home usage, burning dvds and internet usage. Wouldnt advise as a gaming or business machine. however only an upgrade on the mempry and hard drive would be neded for business.
The machine currently has shared graphics so wouldnt b the best machine for gaming.
