Description:

The Pavilion 764n Desktop PC, an aggressively priced unit that's packed with power and ready for virtually anything you can throw its way, heads the 700 series of computers. Though these computers may be intended primarily for the home-based multimedia fan, HP's 700 series of Pavilion desktop computers are capably equipped to handle a wide variety of applications.

Driving the system is a state-of-the-art 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor and a generous allotment of 512 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to one full GB). Unlike other models in the 700 series, the Pavilion 764n also sports a truly high-end 3-D video card, the 128 MB Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 (with TV out). Consequently, it can handle 3D applications such as games and animation and drawing packages as well as it runs traditional 2-D programs.

HP has clearly constructed the Pavilion 764n to meet the growing demands of those who need alternative methods of data storage and movement. Apart from its enormous 120 GB Ultra DMA hard disk, the system sports a 3.5-inch diskette drive and a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive through which you can play and burn music CDs, produce mixed music DVDs, backup data to CD or DVD format and create home movies on DVD. HP has also installed no less than five ultra-fast USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals and two IEEE 1394 ports for high-speed links with external devices such as digital camcorders, scanners and drives.

The Pavilion 764n features a broad range of useful amenities, including a two-button PS/2 scrolling mouse, an HP Internet Command Center one-touch keyboard, a 10/100 Base-T networking interface for high-speed LAN and e-communication access, an internal 56K modem for low-speed connectivity, and a pair of self-enclosed Polk Audio speakers. It should be noted that the system does not include a monitor, thus allowing users to choose a custom model from the many brands and styles available today.
