It Just Doesn't get Any Better Than This!

I have owned this system for about 2 years. I purchased it in Aug of 2004. I have since performed some minor upgrades: I have bumped the RAM to 2 GIG, I have replaced the weak Nividia 5200 Graphics card (IMHO this was the only weak link in the...

May 2006 - quiet, good PC

For months Sony was not supporting an upgrade to MCE 2005. I was shocked, complained, ignored by Sony and MS, and then - Sony changed its mind and for $10 the upgrade was on its way. In the last few months I've added a 1GB RAM, 400GB drive and an ATA...

OVERPRICED and UNDERVALUED

this particular model only gives you the sony name and nothing more for the value. they don't offer the new 2005 upgrade and the tv tuner doesn't even have the built-in fm tuner like hp/gateway. 4 months with the vgc-ra710g; it gave up and won't...

Great machine -- but don't buy as it only runs MCE 2004

 

Great machine -- but don't buy as it only runs MCE 2004

I recently bought this machine (in the last 3 months). Now the latest and greatest version of Media Center is out (version 2005), and Sony is telling me I need to buy a whole other machine to get 2005. HP offered the same upgrade to their customers the...
