2 out of 5 stars Display/Network Woes Presario 6010us.......2004-04-02

Picked it up about a year ago, and it worked ok. However, when upgraded memory with PNY pc2100 512mb x 2 dimms, the computer has random lockups, video degradation and just generally unstable performance. Freezes playing dvd - and before that has a lot of random horizontal lines going all over the screen, spontaneously reboots while downloading from the internet via the network connection.

Memory has been tested and is known good. Motherboard and hard drive were replaced at an authorized facility and still the same results. I think it's the MSI's realization of NForce chipset, and I may be SOL. Definitely annoying and unworkable.

Support is difficult to get and wastes a lot of your time before getting you permission to ship to a repair facility. So, stay away :)

4 out of 5 stars my computer.......2002-09-23

i love this computer! i bought it in may of 02' and i am absolutely
satisfied with it! this is a computer i would reccomend anyone! i believe it is one of the best in its class (and with upgrades like 512 mb of ram instead of 256 mb;and 2100 processer instead of 1600..i believe it is top of the line) in short-this computer is worth your while!

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2002-06-26

At first I was a little skeptical of Compaw, but my fears was soon relieved. My old computer was an HP, and i hated all other manufacturers, but I decided to give Compaq a chance since HP does own them. Also, the price was great, only 599 at Circut City.

The computer was easy to setup, less than 5 minutes. This computer is really fast, even though it has a hard drive of 7200 rpm. The intergrated Geforce 2 graphics card is great for the time being, but I will probably upgrade to a Nvidia Geforce4 Ti 4200. The 256mb DDR SDRAM is a ok amount of memory. The computer only uses about 170 mb. The only exception is that the intergrated graphics take up 32mb, leaving the CPU with 224mb. Speaking of the CPU, which is 1600+ (1.4ghz), it is comparable to a Pentium 4 1.8 ghz because it has more operations per cycle. You are paying up to 500 dollars less than a Pentium 4. The sound card is also another great feature of this computer. Soundmax Integrated Audio is great. I have powerful 4.1 speakers and it sounds better than my old computer which had a Soundblaster Live card.

The CD-RW drive is ultra fast (24x max). I have yet to test its DVD ability. I probably will do that soon. I have so far experienced no problems. Although I did caught a few viruses from transfering stuff from my old computer. Norton's Virus Scan immediatly picked it up and repaired it.

The software installed is great. You get Roxio's Easy CD creator, Windows Media 8.0, and many games. Its enough to keep u busy for a while. Overall this computer is great. I highly recommend it. I got to go and play me some Max Payne right now, so go buy this computer!

5 out of 5 stars A Great PC at a Great Price-.......2002-06-25

This computer is easy to set up and has plenty of speeed. We upgraded from an older 200 MHz AMD K6 also by Compaq and I find this machine super fast. We paired it up with a cable modem and surfing the web is super fast. I can also e-mail large word files and templates, which took forever on my previous computer, with lightening fast speed. We paired ours up with a matching FS7550 flat screen monitor and it looks great. Ours came with the standard 1 year of technical support for hardware etc and 90 days technical support for software, but you can call Compaq and upgrade the technical support on software for another year for a little over $50. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who's looking to upgrade.
