    Dual core is definitely a plus, but 2.5GHz seems a little bit slow for the other specs.. your RAM is exceptional, and probably counteracts what your processor is lacking.

    Plenty of HDD space, depending on what you use your computer for. These days it seems like any computer with HDD space less than 250 GB is obsolete.. just look at the new iPod.. 160 GB and growing. Seeing TB is becoming much more common lately, but you should be set with space.

    Pretty good video card, not the best, but one of the higher-end nVidia cards. Having only a 19.1" monitor seems like it defeats the purpose of a strong video card such as that.

    And finally, Vista. To me it's a drawback to be matched up with those specifications, but just give it a little more time and Windows will fix it, and everyone will upgrade (maybe).

    Overall, I'd give it a 9, especially if you're using this as a gaming PC. There are those few upgrades you could've splurged on, but everyone has a budget. ;)

    I'd give it a 6.0.

    The why:

    CPU: Intel makes the best and most capable CPU's, right now.

    HDD: Hard drive space is fine, if that's a single hard drive, I'd get a second one.

    RAM: good.

    Graphics card: a bit weak, especially for gaming, unless you don't plan on playing any high-end games that come out in the future.

    Monitor: Personal preference

    Overall: It's a decent computer that will handle many things you can and probably will throw at it, but it's most important components aren't that great (CPU and Video card).

    There is nothing wrong with running Vista on your system, I give it an 8/10. I would go with a 20" monitor also you didn't state how fast the memoty was so it is hard to judge how good it actually is but 800MHz + is good perofrmance, 667MHz is average performance anything below that just isn't worth it

    Looks good except for Vista....and I got the Acer 22" widescreen. Good amount of RAM and good graphics card. Decent processor. Overall maybe an 8.

    7 out of 10. That's a good spec. PC which should have enough power for most tasks. I'd have rated it higher if you had a better monitor than Acer and didn't have Vista.

    The processor is kinda undesirable, an intel middle 2 duo or quad middle could be lots quicker and run cooler. The integrated video card is undesirable, yet once you do in straightforward terms rather elementary stuff (no video games), it does not be a project. 80GB is particularly small for somebody like me, i could choose a minimum of 250GB. 512MB of RAM is undesirable as properly, you're able to get yet another 512MB, or in case you're turning out to be to be residing house windows vista, you're able to get 4x512MB for 2GB of RAM. i could cost this computing device probable 3/10 or 4/10.

    9/10

    The OP is good, vista can use all that hardware, xp can't although xp is good op, it can't use DX10.

    Processor is really fast, AMD is awesome

    Hard Drive is normal, you won't have to upgrade that for quite a while.

    memory is awesome

    video card is not bad, crysis would run smooth in medium- high detail, 800x600 resolution. other games will run really well untill 2009

    display is good.

    Faster Cpu than my main machine and more ram (I'm running Xp Pro 32bit so only have 2gb due to memory restrictions), let down by your graphics card and operating system. 6/10

  • 1 decade ago

    It depends on what you use it for. Games, entertainment system, what have you. If for games, your graphics card could be better. I'd say 7/10?
