Good Machine
(4 out of 5) by Erik Friborg on Nov 29, 2001 (Denver, CO)Honestly, a very good machine. Besides starting out with a great amount of options, (DVD, CDRW, 256MG ram), the chip is overclockable to 1.5GHTZ easily. Plus, the chip can be upgraded to PIII. A very good machine for the price. If you're looking for a lowend machine with midrange possibilities, pick it up!

seen this before?
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov 24, 2001Isn't funny how after a while these reviews all seem to be the same? If you notice the reviews for the other computer system's, you will see they are the same. The details were changed, but they seem to be a form letter...!!

Good Starter Computer
(4 out of 5) by Vinod Kalothia on Sep 29, 2001 (Troy, MI)I just bought this one week ago. It is a great starter computer. All I really use it for is internet, word processing, and finances. I was impressed how quickly this computer started up and came to the Windows screen. Though I would prefer an Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz or higher, the AMD processor is alright for my needs. The video card is sharing 8MB memory, so I do plan to upgrade the memory from 128MB to 512MB (memory is very inexpensive right now) and maybe even add a more powerful sound card since I like to listen to music a lot and the one that is included is integrated to the motherboard. Overall, its good, and if you have more needs than what I mentioned above, then consider another model that is one or two notches above this one. For [more money], you can get one with DVD and more.
