Summary: A little disappointed....
Review: After two weeks of use I will say that this unit is probably worth the money and I've enjoyed the digital photo editing features. However, after deleting all of the superfluous junk that's always bundled into a new PC I still find the comp a little slow under multi task load. Also, the first game I installed was Sid Meier's Pirates. It will not run. The integrated motherboard graphics aren't up to the task. I'm looking for a new VGA card that won't overheat my system now. If you're a gamer, don't buy this unit. AS

Summary: Nice System...
Review: Two points, It does NOT come with a floppy drive however a external USB floppy drive is avaliable from HP for $49. Also I have'nt yet found a way to install a second internal hard drive. Those are really my only two complaints. A top notch fast multi media system. It DOES come with Microsoft Works and Money plus a bunch of graphic software.

This system replaced a 2 year old Gateway equipped with a Intel Pentium IV processor rated also at 2.2 gh. The HP is a noticeable faster machine. Flight Sim 2001 runs with measurable faster frame rates. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.
