Its been over four years since i last got a computer. Until about a few weeks ago I had been using an eMac i got back in '04. I still use that mac because it still has a lot of my files on it. In time this new computer will be my main work station. I got a new computer because I needed a computer that would be able to handle the tasks I would throw at it (and not just gaming) while staying within my budget.

HP Computer

• AMD Phenom™ X4 quad-core processor 9550*
• 5GB RAM
• Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe direct-disc labelin (why i would need Lightscribe...idk it just came with it)
• AMD LIVE!
• 2MB L2 + 2MB L3 cache memory
• 750GB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 rpm)
• NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GE graphics, 256MB
• HDMI 22in widescreen monitor

This computer runs very quickly and smoothly compared to my old eMac. The HD screen is beautiful no dead pixels that i have seen yet (crosses fingers). I know its not the best thing out there but this computer should do me just fine for some time.
