So you thought Bill came up with a idea to make the bloated OS to run on a so said minimum requirement of “512 Megabyte RAM and at least 256 MB Graphics Card”...

No! I ran this beauty on a meager 256 MB RAM. It works perfectly.. read on for my experience

I'm a proud owner of this HP desktop pc. This was something sort of high end when I got it (now its a midget, cough cough).

Basically i'm quite satisfied by this multimedia PC, though there is definitely a room for improvement, for example the chassis could have a space for another exhaust and i wouldn’t have minded (not that this beauty keeps cool, even when i kept this on for something like three weeks continuously)

Though some aspects can not be ignored at all, consider the screwless slots for hard disks and optical drives and top media storage and camera docking bay.

Really speaking this desktop may not be the best around, but its surely noticeable.

Check out the basic specs below (for full technical specs click here)
