Steve:

I would never buy a Presario/Pavillion/Aptiva/Packard Bell computer for the office.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Pavillion can't handle the network traffic. The PCA architecture of a consumer PC isn't able to handle that kind of traffic/signal density. It will simply not coap, and hang.

HP Pavillion is sexy-looking, but too expensive. Also, they aren't up to date on all the features everyone seems to think they need (like cooking plate for your breakfeast egg!!!)
And they can't make enough of them, like CPQ can't make enough Presarios to go around.

Seriously, stay away from the Consumer PCs if you want to do anymore than type shopping lists and surf the net. All the trouble isn't worth the couple $s saved vs. buying a more powerful unit.

Take care

K.
