Hello,
My brother and I customized this desktop PC with hardware that we thought was appropriate for my computer needs on the HP website. I use a majority of the Adobe software products (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, etc.) in my line of work. I also tend to use my computer for a lot of pro-gaming on my time off so it needs to be a gaming PC as well. So what I thought I'd do is try to get multiple well-informed opinions regarding the specs of this thing. Which is where many of the users of this forum hopefully come in. Here goes!
Operating system............................Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
Processor........................................Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q9550 [2.83GHz]
Memory..........................................8GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM [4x2048]
Hard drive.......................................500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
Graphics card..................................1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Primary DVD/CD drive......................LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
Networking.....................................Wireless-N LAN card
Front Productivity Ports...................15-in-1 memory card reader, 2 USB, 1394, audio
Sound Card......................................Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
Speakers..........................................HP stereo speakers with subwoofer and remote (2.1) 30W
Keyboard and Mouse.........................HP multimedia keyboard and HP optical mouse
Monitor............................................HP w1907 19 -inch widescreen flat panel monitor
Regarding the monitor, one main concern was color fidelity. On an added note, my current desktop is connected to a Comcast modem through a wireless Linksys router so that a PC elsewhere in my home can connect to the internet wirelessly. Just something to maybe keep in mind.
Thank you.
