The 1024MB of RAM is upgradable to 4gbs, so there is plenty of room to build up as you go along. The 160GB hard drive may... |

It came from their warehouse returns I... |

| 19. |  | HP Pavilion S3500F Desktop PC (2.80 GHz AMD Athlon X2 5400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) from Hewlett Packard Customer Review: I had been wary of purchasing a computer with Vista operating system due to all the bad press. However, since XP is no longer easily available, I had no choice, and landed on this computer because of (a) great price (b) slim profile and (c) 4 GB RAM memory. The memory was the final and most... |

However, the fan is a little too loud, it does not have Wireless N built in (I checked, but I could be wrong), and it should have an eSata port for an external drive to support HD playback. Overall, I am very pleased! |
