Description:
As one of the two least expensive PCs in the entire Compaq roster, the Presario S4000nx Desktop PC delivers computing essentials at a rock bottom price. Definitely not intended for businesspeople, gamers or anyone who even occasionally pushes the capabilities of their equipment, the Presario S4000nx is nevertheless quite satisfactory as a second or third computer, performing basic duties such as word processing or simple homework. Sporting a cost effective 2.40 GHz Intel Celeron processor, a bare minimum 128 MB PC2100 DRR SDRAM memory and an Intel Extreme Graphics video chipset with 32 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory, the Presario S4000nx delivers good value but is substantially less powerful than most current notebooks. To store and transfer your data, Compaq has equipped the unit with a smallish 40 GB hard drive, a 3.5-inch diskette drive, and a CD drive through which you can load applications and play audio CDs. The system does not permit CD burning or DVD playing and recording without upgrades to the optical drive. 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 whopping half-dozen high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals. Compaq has also equipped the unit with an entry-level Presario keyboard and non-scrolling Presario mouse, but has not enclosed a display, wireless networking, or a FireWire port (a common data link with external devices such as digital camcorders). The impressive bundled software package features Microsoft Works, Microsoft Money 2003, Intuit Quicken Financial Center, and several audio-video utilities.
