Good Deal?

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion...roductDetail.do

From what I've read from the specs this is a pretty kickass computer. 2 gigs of RAM and 250 GB HD for $769.99? With an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200? From what I know that's a pretty good deal. Can someone tell me if this is a good deal and is worth the money? Thanks. ^_^

 

i got a comp slightly better for 1300 today
i sujest getting it, it looks like a deal to me

 

I was gonna get it today because it's the last day for the rebate but backed down just to ask for some opinions. :lol:

 

Go for it

 

Sounds good to me

 

Well it's a very nice computer, but one BIG letdown. The graphics, absoloute crap, would need an upgrade for any real games. Why do they always do that? Make a brilliant computer and stick a shiiiizzzlleee card in it.

 

I'm probably gonna do some gaming on it when Live Anywhere comes out so could you point me to some good graphics cards that aren't terribly exepensive? Thanks. ^_^

 

The Nivida Geforce 6800 will handle things fine, low price aswell.

 

I would not get it. Conroe, AKA Core 2 duo is supposed to eb out within a week, furthermore even if you don't choose ot get that, AMD will slash prices no matter what with conroe raping them. Also OEMS like HP use ----ty mtoherboards, power supplies, have crap cooling, and VERY low-end ram

it doens't come with the monitor FYI.

1.8GHz conroe 6300(200$ give or take, performs similar to x2 4400-4800+)
decent motherboard ($100ish)
Antec Case/ 500W PSU (120$)
Decent RAM (150-200)
x800gto (110ish)
250GB WD CAVIER ($80)
DVD/CD burner ($40)

 

build one its alot cheaper

 

prices are always going to be slashed. PC parts never hold their resell value

 

yes but they will be slashed on AMD processors by abou 50% in a week...

 

good deal only bad thing is the graphics card u'll have to upgrade >_> but I'd go for it

 

If you built one you could get a way better system for the same price.. Just wait a week.

 

wait a week, no matter what, prices slashed(well assuming OEMs decide to, but wholesale of individual parts...)
