Awesome price for what you get
This desktop tower has the 95W version of Phenom X4 9750. Performance wise, it's comparable to the Intel Q6600 Quad Core processor. In the Vista performance indicator, both CPU's get a 5.9 on computational power. Since this uses the nforce chipset for both the SATA DVD writer and SATA hard drives, you may have some issues reinstalling Vista or other OS's on it; but with the proper drivers from Nvidia, it shouldn't present a big problem. With the PC, you also get a Geforce 9100 integrated gr...

Very solid for a Linux system
Though it wasn't exactly easy to verify this beforehand, this system is well-supported by Ubuntu 9.04. All the hardware works out of the box, and the Nvidia GPU supports acceleration through Nvidia's proprietary drivers.
There seems to be a lot of debate among reviewers, however, noting that this system is largely filled with year-old technology and noting that there are Intel-based competitors that perform better on benchmarks. I would argue this depends what you're doing with it ho...

Great
Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: I use the system as a gaming PC, video card 4870. i took everything out of stock case and put in to an old Antec case i had laying around. Added as many fans as i could, the stock 400 watt PS does just fine. I have used this system for about a year now, i havent upgraded anything, besides Video Card. But as time goes on , and new items come out, i am going to get a better MB, and cpu cooler.
Cons:...

Sweet HP6130f PC
I recently purchased a HP6130f Pavilion PC and I wanted to say how pleased I am with it. I'm 62 years old and not really a computer guy,But I love the speed and quiet operation of this computer. If your on the fence and undecided about which PC to get, let me encourage you to try the HP6130.

Very, Very Good.
This is a very good system for the price. It is super-quiet. Vista 64 bit runs beautifully and has NEVER crashed. May be Vista had issues before but a patched-up Vista is great.
I bought this system to consolidate two physical machines into one and have no regrets: Both these machines run adequately fast, with one (Windows Server 2003) running as a virtual machine on the host Vista system using Microsoft Virtual PC. In fact, I can also run an XP Pro at the same time as the other 2 Operati...

Excellent PC for the price
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Recently bought a HP P6130F to replace a 5 year old Compac. It has what I was looking for: HP computer, Quad Core processor, 8GB RAM, and a Nvidia graphics card. All for under $600. It has a very quite operation. I have been shopping for a while and I thought that for this price range, I would have to stick with an Intel graphics chipset. Saw it in the HP website and bought from Amazon.

Dead On Arrival (DOA)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I've had many PC's in my life. I am technical with both hardware and software. This PC was dead on arrival with some kind of power problem. I returned it to Amazon and am awaiting credit to be issued on my credit card. I'm sure there will not be a problem as I order tons of stuff on Amazon for just this kind of situation.
