Description:
HP makes multimedia easy for the whole family with the a815n desktop PC, featuring a wide range of connectivity options for all your peripherals, preloaded HP Image Zone photo editing and management software, and a dual-layer, multiformat DVD/CD burner. It comes loaded with 512 MB of RAM, which can be bumped up to an amazing 4 GB. It also features an extra-large 160 GB hard drive, and a multiformat memory card reader that's compatible with today's most popular digital camera formats. The Basics
- Hard Drive: The extra-large 160 GB Ultra DMA hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video.
- Processor: The 3.06 GHz Intel Pentium 4 519J processor is more than fast enough for the vast majority of home office and business applications as well as basic multimedia needs, from digital photo editing to PC gaming. However, if you plan on editing video or playing today's high-end, intensive 3D games, you might want to look into a faster processor. It also features a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
- Memory: The 512 MB of installed RAM (PC2700) is adequate for running office productivity and audio software, but you'll want to take advantage of the ultra-roomy 4 GB of total RAM capacity (2 x 2 GB) for such multimedia needs as video editing and immersive 3D gaming.
- CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the a815n multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD+/-RW, 2.4x DVD+R DL, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CDR, 24x CDRW, and 40x CD-ROM ROM speeds.
- Keyboard & Mouse: The a815n comes with an HP Internet keyboard and scroller mouse (both with PS/2 connections).
Graphics and Sound
The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (with up to 128 MB of shared video memory) provides versatile display options and great 3D performance. You'll get incredible visual quality with native 16x9 formats for wide screen flat panels, motion compensation for smooth DVD playback and support for popular HDTV display formats. It also features the integrated Intel High Definition audio chip (Azalia), featuring THX certification and 8 channels for full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.2 surround sound with Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
