    specs seem ok on the face of it apart from the major exclusion of a GFX card, if your wanting to play games then onboard doesnt really cut it with todays high powered requirements for games plus as it eats 128mb of your 512mb of ram that also compromises the system speed imho.

    dunno if you ever thought of building your own?

    If I remember right, they were $769 Canadian Dollars, when I looked at the Compaq page.

    cant really recommend that...all it can be used for is maybe sufing the internet...and btw, never buy from companies...they overcharge u like craaazy. instead build it yourself of have someone build it for you...like www.cyberpowerinc.com
