HP Pavilion A6500F Desktop PC (2.40 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core E2220 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium)
I bought this computer for my wife at a good price, but I wish I had bought a different machine. It constantly runs out of memory and shuts down, losing data. She is running Norton 360, Second Life, Skype and AOL. Other programs are not up at the same time.
I tried making adjustments to make more temporary memory available, but that just kept other programs from working at all.
I learned too late that the memory is not expandable.

I purchased this PC at a very good price, but I wish I had researched it more thoroughly. My problem is with 64-bit VISTA Home Premium, which is incompatible with many of my software programs, including my CA Security Suite. The money I saved on the computer will be lost in purchasing updated versions of software. If I had had the option of buying this PC with Windows XP, it would have been a great deal. The PC does not include speakers, and the Polk Audio speakers supplied with my old HP Pavillion 754n are only capable of producing a barely audible volume. Apparently I have to obtain speakers with an amplifier.
All that said, it is a powerful, fast machine. For anyone for whom the 64-bit VISTA does not present a problem, it's a good buy.

The most annoying thing of all is that an HP Photosmart all-in-one C3180 purchased in May '07 won't work with this pc. The C3180 website does contain a purported driver download compatible with 64-bit VISTA, but at the end of a long download and installation, one is greeted with the error message that the software is NOT compatible with 64-bit VISTA. Thus a nearly new printer-scanner-fax
