Comapq d530 USDT

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.

great workhorse!

Advantages: brand name, small form factor case
Disadvantages: expensive

. On the inside - P4 3.2Ghz with 400Mhz Front Side Bus with hyper threding - 2 x 256MB RAM (Total of 512MB) - 80GB 7200RPM Hard drive - ATA100 Hard drive controller - AGP 8x - DVD & CDRW Combo drive - Intregrated Gigabit ethernet The spec shows just how capable this computer is! The gigabit ethernet is very useful in offices, as it's exceptionally quick. In the future Yes, this PC is upgradable! There are a few expansion slots, however not as many on a standard machine because of the reduced size: - 2 x full-height PCI - 1 x low-profile AGP 8X It would be better if the 512MB of ram was on one stick, as then you could just add another stick of 512 in the future, but as it stands you may have to buy two more sticks. The Warranty: = A Three year on-site next business day guarantee ...

Review of HP Compaq Business Desktop D530

Careful you don't drop it!

Advantages: Great name and good support
Disadvantages: poor build quality, flimsy

The Compaq line of small form factor PCs have always been sturdy machines very suited to the business environment. Compaq used to take care to design a machine without the frills, which would meet most standard business use. Costs were also kept low, and this made for a generally acceptable business unit. The D5xx range has never been targeted at the home user, and probably never will. Unfortunately, this new machine fails to inspire confidence. Overall, there is nothing wrong with the technologies and speed of the unit. My real issues are around the casing and build quality. Firstly, it is REALLY heavy. I suppose some may say this is an theft deterrent, but there is no real need for the weight. This is especially true when you notice that the case is extremely light and flimsy. In a business environment, machines need to be ...

Review of HP Compaq Business Desktop D530

Finaly, A Decent All Round PC

Advantages: Cool Case (Didn't I See That In Toys R Us The Other Day???), Cool Specs
Disadvantages: Intergrated Graphics = BAD BAD BAD

First Impresions: Nice Case P4 = Good (but Athlon XP better) Medium Specs Can Play Games Nice Ammount Of Ram Won't fall apart on you The case is almost exactly like that of the other HP macine. It would look good, as HP are behind it. I don't know why they bother really, they only make 0.08% profit on every machine sold. The specs are that of a medium PC. The 512mg ram is a nice touch and will open up many games, and a fast load time in games like Enemy Territory. Now, the nicest bit is S-ATA, so if you care to update your hard drive buy the 2 Raptors (10000rpm, S-ATA) and put them into Raid 0 (for more info on raid see any decent PC site). Onboard grahics bring what could have been a very good machine crashing down to the state of good. However, there is suppost to be a 8x AGP slot, so you can override the rubbish ...
