i think alot of people is wrong.
Compaq is actually a very good brand, especially when they merged
with HP.
They got dunno how many excellence servcice awards since 1999 i
think.. and also got service centers in singapore..
anyway..the not so good part with this computer offer is:
Intel® Celeron® 2.53GHz
15 CRT Monitor with JBL Speakers
128MB DDR SDRAM
40GB ultra DMA Hard Drive
48x Max Variable CD-ROM Drive
Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics
Integrated NIC (Broadband Ready)
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
hmm...basically everything! 1). Celeron at 2.53Hz now is super
cheap, nowadays is 2.8-3.8GHz.
2). CRT montior????? wat a waster of space, now all LCDs liao. a
CRT is super cheap nowadays even super VGA, its like 100-120 bucks
can liao, 3). how come only 128MB??and DDR version one somemore,
nowadays people have to use at least 256MB, even my laptop is 1GB
RAM!
4). NOT sure about DMA hard drive, but normally ATA harddrive is
better?
5). whats a pure CD-ROM drive? tot now at least is a combo,
CD-R/DVD drive?
6). The intel extreme graphics is actually not good, its like the
default, meaning that there is no better graphics card installed,
its just the "common" one that comes along with the PC.
7). XP Pro is preffered than XP home, especially if you are a
student or have intranet in the company, cuz XP Pro allows
workstation/intranet lock in, etc.
