RAM [Posted on 2007-06-09]
Only thing missing is sufficient memory to run Vista properly.
Also Vista is quite cumbersome, and doesn't do all the things XP did to make life easier. Plug n play is very confusing and lacks the ease of use that XP had. Like my printer works but the rest of its features I just haven't had the time to set up, scan,copy,fax.

Compouter works well for nice price. Has some ajustments needed to network with older XP systemed computers.
Shipping with insufficient RAM is unacceptable [Posted on 2007-09-10]
This computer ships with 512MB, but Vista wants at least 1024MB/1GB. So, the computer runs like a slug, because it's having to use the hard drive for temporary storage instead of RAM as it should. Just know that if you buy this system as is, you MUST buy additional RAM. So, whatever the advertised price is, add on another $50 for RAM plus labor if you need the help.
good value with added ram [Posted on 2007-11-30]
I don't game or use intensive software, so overall I'm pleased with this computer for the price. I purchased it for $169 after rebate and coupon and installed 2GB of ram right off the bat, which made a huge difference. Picked up the RAM from HP for $40 after rebate. I don't care for Vista at all, it's an entirely different interface that takes an education to get used to. I would have much prefered XP. Also had to upgrade my printer and touchpad mouse because they weren't compatible with Vista. I'm considering an inexpensive video card to improve my "Windows Experience" score which is currently 3.6, but would improve to 4.2 with a better video card. No real complaints other than the original 512MB of RAM is completely inadequate to run any version of Vista. The ram upgrade to at least 1 GB is essential.
