Recertified: HP Pavilion M8100N(GC673AAR) Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 3GB DDR2 500GB NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Windows Vista Home Premium

Very fast. Ecellent value for the price. Runs very quietly.Open PCI-E slot for upgrading the video.Up to 8.1 speaker on board sound.Multi DVD drive is great

No DVI connector, analog only ; Low end on-board video.Will need to upgrade this if you want to play games ; 300 watt psu. If upgrading video card should replace this as well ; Preloaded H.P. software.Sometimes hard to tell what is useful and what is...

Newegg... They Rock! Great machine with a lot of power. Nice and quiet too. Don't worry about a recertified machine, it is immaculate. I priced a lot of machines before settling on this including building my own, and I don't regret this purchase for a...

Paid expedite and UPS rescheduled my delivery, but then delivered on time anyway...frustrating ; Don't believe the pictures of the back of the machine that show DVI and a DVI/VGA adapter. I was intent on having a DVI connection, so I researched the...

Fast, Turned right on, Connected to all my old stuff(monitors, printers etc., without any effort) Great computer for the price

Graphics card is worthless if you plan on gaming and the 300 watt psu is worthless for everything

Great price, simple setup, has eliminated my vcr, dvd player, and stereo. Windows Media Center works well - setup was a breeze. Satellite tv programming downloaded from the internet automatically. Its a DVR with no monthly fees. The IR remote works well

The one I got did not come with an S-video out connector so I ordered another sound card for it

The fastest machine I've ever had. Upgraded from 2800+/512mb to this and it is just unbelievable. I was and still am nervous about it being a refurbished machine - but you couldn't tell by looking at it. Out of the box looked really slick - shiny black...

Everyone said get rid of Vista. I wanted to get using it right away so I didn't even mess around with Vista - downgraded to XP as soon as I got it. Cheryl and Rich on the HP business support forums were awesome - they've posted all clear instructions...

Good cost-to-performance ratio. Nice looking machine. Can't tell it isn't new, don't be afraid that its a refurb. Everything in the pictures came with it, its all like new

Vista. But it does run fast tho. I just have to get used to Vista

Good price for the configuration

The item I purchased was advertised as having a free 20.1" monitor. However after not receiving the free monitor I was told that I needed to buy a combo item to get anything free, which was not indicated in the item listing. Very poor

Absolutely silent, and very fast, fast, fast. I've had visitors want to show something on the internet be so impressed with the speed. PCPitstop rates it as one of the fastest computers available. This unit does more than I am capable of learning, but...

Gamers will want to upgrade here as it is the shortfall of the unit. I don't game so I am happy

Plan to use this box for photo and video finishing, and it seems well suited for the job

I ordered with two additional 2GB ram sticks to throw in, only to realize that Vista would not recognize all the memory. I then loaded Vista SP1 and it is showing all 6 gigs of memory. I also would have liked to have a DVI rather than VGA port. Other...

Fast, the 3 GB of RAM makes mutlitasking no problem. Just smooth and initiates fast. Needs a better video card if you play intensive gaming. The monitor is nice too being 20 inch and free with purchase

The MAJOR problem about this PC, was that it would freeze up like every 5 minutes I went on EVERY DAY, and in a day like 20-30 times it would do that until I was ready to RMA. But after I messed around with some of the configurations, I found the...
