WoW... Amazing PC!!!

I must say that after buying Dell for the last 5 years this is such a much better system for the hard earned buck. I replaced my monster XPS700 with this one and I slapped an NVIDIA 9800 GTX card on it and this baby rocks. I am running WoW and AoC without any issues whatsover. This one is worth getting....!!!

This is a nice computer but one of the main reasons that I bought it was because it had the audio/video input card in the front of the tower in the fourth picture. I was wrongly mislead when I just got it in the mail there was no such interface, but other than that I don't really have a problem with it. This makes me mad because I bought a new monitor separately in faith that I would be able to use it to hook my 360 to my computer and play on my monitor (I have to still see if that is possible).

Best Value Computer

I have had this computer for 3 months and love it. I have had no problems at all it runs very quiet and blazingly fast. My Vista experience rating on this is 5.7. This is a great machine.

superb

Extremely happy with my new system. No porblems have surfaced using Vista as of yet.

Like the computer - don't like the operating system.

The HP Pavilion M8430F Desktop PC I purchased from amazon.com arrived within 2 days of the order. Perfect timing. Initial setup was easy and the documentation, though minimal, was adequate. After several days of working with the unit the DVD recorder/player stopped working. I immediately called HP's toll free customer support and after turning the unit over to their control on-line, the technician edited the registry and solved the problem. I was impressed to say the least. The unit is fast at rendering video clips, which is the main reason I chose this computer in the first place. However, that said, not all of my video/audio editing software has installed successfully. The software in question was updated to work with Vista but apparently only works with Vista's 32 bit version. From what I can glean from user forums the software really doesn't like any version of Vista. So, now I am at a crossroad. I'd like to go back to Windows XP Pro in order to get ALL of my software to work, but in so doing I will apparently lose the use of that 4th gig of ram and possibly all of the Windows Media Center capability that the unit has to offer. Decisions, decisions. I like the computer - but I don't like the operating system.
