HP Pavilion a1525a

good machine fast on xp

screen goes blank just after start up, vista no good had installed went back to xp mce 2005, on board usb has a fault keeps turning off then on, can't use them also card reader cant use may have faulty mother board

Comes with a fast dual core pentium d 820 with two core cores running a 2.8Ghz. Not as good as core 2 e6xx line, more like the athlon x2 3800+ and 4200+. Free upgrade to Vista Home Premium.

Comes with worthless ATI Xpress 200 256 MB hypermemory graphics which eats 100MB of system memory, although capable of running aero, slows down perfomance.
