How does this computer sound?

memonkeyz · 08-22-2006, 08:37 PM

How does this computer sound for medium gaming, but mostly general use (internet, photos, music)? I am trying to spend not more than $1500.

This is an HP computer, and I'm not really into the whole builiding my own computer thing. I have had an order with Dell (XPS 700) for 2 months now and they just told me that the new ship date probably won't be until November (!!!), and am getting totally fed up, so I think I am going to go with HP even though it is more expensive

Thank you!!

That sounds good except for the video card, can you upgrad that at all?

Looks okay, the 7300 won't be very good for gaming but you can always upgrade that later down the road if you need to.

EDIT: Beat me to it.
