Hi Group, I'm looking at an ad in Office Max for a Compaq Presario with the
following specs: Athlon 64 3300 Processor; 1024 MB Memory; 160 GB Hard
Drive; 16X DVD+RW with Lightscribe; 9-in-1 Memory Card Reader; XP Home.
Also includes 15" LCD monitor. The price is $799.99, on sale right now for
$749.99. My "geek" friend says this is good but he saw something similar in
a Frye's ad for $400+. Aside from that, would this be a good deal for the
specs given? My first computer was purchased 6 yrs ago for $1100 including
a cheap, but good, printer (HP 812C) and 17" CRT monitor, Actually, there
is nothing wrong with it except it's only 8GB HD and it's starting to slow
down on me. I also have a Lexmark 3-in-1 printer and an older Tandy DMP
used for writing checks, but plan to go to online banking, so don't need
that anymore. But will probably buy a better printer with cheaper ink (HP
cartridges are $28 & $36)! Anybody have an opinion to offer on this? Tech
Rose, where are you? :o) ~Glo
