Excellent machine
Review of HP Compaq Business Desktop dc5750 - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 GHz by
bllward
Advantages: Good value for money, Strong specs
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.
Rather than staying away from it altogether though, just wait for the next service pack.
Interestingly, the machine scores 3.2 in the Windows Vista performance test, which is a pretty good score for a workstation.
Very good value for money, ...

Any buisness stream will indeed make good use of this pc. Its great with mutli tasking. This is something that is really in need for and in the present time business scenarios. Also the time for the processor to compile various jobs is good and this is needed very much in current core business pc because ...

Great introduction to Mac OS / Home Theater PC
Review of Apple Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz by
alphamusic
Advantages: Price, performance, design, OSX 10.5, Windows with Bootcamp, HTPC, remote controll
Disadvantages: Limited upgradability
I recently upgrade from a 1.5Ghz G4 stealth upgrade Mac Mini to the Core 2 Duo 1.83 Ghz mini and I am very impressed with the performance improvements. With Xbench the Core 2 Duo was approximately twice as fast as the G4 on many tests. The Mac Mini has a very small form factor 6.5"x6.5"x2" which makes it well suited as a Home Theater PC (HTPC) or for desktop use where space is at a premium. I primarily use the mini as an everyday computer with some ... ...desk and under a TV. The Mac Mini is an excellent entry level computer or an introduction to Macs. This is not to say the computer is limited in capabilities. The only real limitation over the mini's bigger brothers, the iMac and Mac Pro is the fact that it's expandability is more restricted. The stock laptop hard drive is slower than desktop sized hard drives, and the graphics card is integrated meaning gaming performance suffers. Realizing these ...
