i cant find any reviews on the graphic card it comes with (NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6150 SE ) do they only sell these pre built into systems or somthing?? cant u buy them seperately?
but other than that it looks pretty good.. should run WOW pretty easily
u might want to buy 1 extra gb of ram to run vista real smooth and games aswell

6150 is integrated.. it will be shit, just so u know.

aparently it can handle "fast moving video" lol...

hNic · 07-04-2007, 09:45 PM

probably on-board video (built-in)

for the price the system is nice

XxSNIPERxX · 07-04-2007, 09:47 PM

ur probably better off building ur own.. these off the shelf computers are never really much good for gaming

p.s wow love ur comp pics Bradan the 22" looks Massive!! im getting a 22" soon

Too lazy to check the spec's on HP's website, but most of their new computers have PCI-E slots, so you could get a card to go along with it... they're really not hard to install.

Yeah, if you cant afford it just get somthing cheap like a 7600 or so

mastertyty · 07-04-2007, 10:17 PM

I agree with the others, its a nice buy, but definetely get 2gB RAM and a better vid card. What vid card you planning on?

[-0MEGA-] · 07-05-2007, 01:35 PM

Thats a good deal for an HP, but it has integrated video so it wont work well for games at all, and it may not even play the games you want to play, such as WoW.

For those that are too lazy to look at the specs it has:

AMD X2 @ 2.0Ghz
1GB DDR2-533
250GB HD
6150 Graphics

It does have a PCI-E slot, so you could always upgrade to a better video card later on.
