Compaq Presario S5200NX Desktop PC (2.70-GHz Celeron, 512 MB DDR, 120 GB Hard Drive, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive)
Manufacturer: Compaq
Product Type: Personal Computer
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Product Description
Compaq's Presario S5200NX Desktop PC is intended for light- to medium-use situations where cost is the overriding factor. The system isn't particularly game-friendly, nor does it sport such luxuries as DVD burning or a FireWire port for high-speed interaction with digital camcorders. Yet its affordable price point, large hard disk and satisfactory power section make it a good low-cost alternative for many home and home office applications.
The Presario S5200nx Desktop is driven by a price-conscious Intel Celeron processor operating at 2.7 GHz -- an adequately fast CPU but not nearly as capable or as forward-looking as Intel's flagship processor, the Pentium 4. Compaq has added a satisfactory allotment of 512 MB DRR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1 GB) and an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics controller with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory. As such, the system is not recommended for advanced 3-D graphics or heavy-duty business use.
To store and transfer your data, the Presario S5200nx Desktop is equipped with a surprisingly accommodating 120 GB hard disk (perfect for storing oodles of MP3s), a convenient 3.5-inch diskette drive, and a combination CD-RW/DVD drive that supports CD burning and playing and DVD playback but does not permit DVD writing. The system features a variety of connectivity options, including serial and parallel ports, a 56K V.90 flex modem for low-speed communication, a high-speed 10-Mbps/100-Mbps Ethernet network port, and a half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals. Monitor and speakers are sold separately, thus allowing you to choose from the many options available today.

Don't do it!!!.......2004-04-14
The Compaq Presario S5200NX is by far a waste of money. It is slower than you can imagine and the technical service from Compaq/HP is ZERO !
I am without a doubt totally disappointed, my only option at this point is to either purchase a new processor and see if that speeds it up or buy another computer. Since I have only had this for a couple months neither choice truely appeals to me.
If in the market for a new computer...DON'T BUY A COMPAQ PRESARIO S5200NX !!
