| sosweet's Full Review: Hewlett Packard HP Pavilion 7950 (P5158A#ABA) PC D... |
I bought this computer in August and I have had a very good experience so far, I noticed that with windows me it did freeze alot, I upgraded to windows xp from the hp upgrade program I got win xp for only 30 dollars, and I upgraded my ram to 512mb, With windows xp this computer rocks. I really recommend anyone buying this computer purchase windows xp now my computer is really stable and hasn't crashed once. The speakers that came with the computer are great sounding, The video card is great and since its a card you can easily upgrade to a higher memory card if you wanted to. I havent had any problems with the cd writer :) And the dvd quality is great.
