Description:
Sometimes you don’t have to pay a lot to get a lot. This adage might come to mind when you see the wealth of performance and features packed into the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion 523n desktop PC and realize price is the only thing about this tower system that isn’t high-end. Powering the 523n is a 1.8 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2200+ processor. An 80 GB hard drive ensures you’ll have plenty space to download, create, and store data files and digital music and photography content. The tower includes separate DVD (16x) and CD-RW (40x/40x/10x) drives for viewing movies on DVD and listening to and creating music CDs. It also includes integrated AC-97 Polk Audio stereo speakers with Power Port technology, and MPEG2 for full-motion video. An integrated ProSavage DDR KM266 graphics card--with up to 32 MB of shared video memory--enables crisp performance in nearly any monitor you might connect to this system. The tower includes a V.90 56K data/fax modem, an integrated network- and broadband-ready 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet interface, three PCI expansion slots (two available), an AGP 4x slot, four available USB 2.0 ports, and an available serial and parallel port. A one-touch HP Internet Command Center keyboard and a two-button PS2 scrolling mouse also are included. Total memory slots include two DIMM slots (one available). L1 cache includes 128 KB of primary data cache. L2 cache includes 256 KB of advanced-transfer cache. Installed software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition; Corel WordPerfect Productivity Pack, including WordPerfect 10 and Quattro Pro 10; HP RecordNow; InterVideo WinDVD SE; ArcSoft PhotoImpression, Fun House, and Greeting Card Creator; Intuit Quicken Financial Center/Quicken 2002 New User Edition; Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0; Norton AntiVirus 2002 with six months of free upgrades; and two free Game Channel titles.
