Fin, <I've been singularly UNIMPRESSED with my HP desktop.> Can't be worse than almost all of the Compaq Presario desktops I've seen. Yes, it's so bad that I personally recommend anyone away from Compaq desktops. Tenchusatsu P.S. - To be fair, none of those Presarios I've seen had AMD inside.

fingolfen - Re: "I own an HP desktop, a Dell notebook, a home-built desktop, and my wife has an HP notebook. By and large the most stable systems I've owned are my home-built systems (except that time when I accidentally installed the unstable DirectX version). Second by a narrow margin is the Dell. My Dell notebook is a real trooper and holds up very well in terms of stability and reliability. I haven't used my wife's HP enough to say one way or another, but I know one thing's for sure, I've been singularly UNIMPRESSED with my HP desktop. " That sounds like my experience. I had purchased an HP Celeron system (i810) to act as a "gateway" for Internet access (when Windows 98 came out) - and it was OK - just OK. I upgraded the system to Windows 2000 - and added memory - and it has been rock-stable for the past year - highly recommended ! Paul
