Description:
A prime example how the power vs. cost ratio of personal computers continues to move in favor of consumers, the HP Pavilion 734n desktop delivers impressive performance at an impressively low price. If you need a desktop that will handle everything but the most demanding or esoteric applications--and does so without breaking the bank--the Pavilion 734n may be an ideal fit. At the heart of the unit is a fast 2 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor. Compaq has matched this capable CPU with a generous 512 MB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1 GB) and a powerful 64 MB nVidia GeForce4 MX420 graphics card with TV-out. It has incorporated a massive 80 GB hard disk to store your important files and a CD-RW/DVD combination drive through which you can burn and enjoy music CDs, play movies, and back up data. The system also includes an integrated AC-97 audio chipset and a pair of Polk-designed speakers. Potential customers should note that Compaq has not supplied a monitor, allowing users to choose a custom model from the many brands and styles available today. The Pavilion 734n features a broad range of useful amenities, including a two-button PS/2 scrolling mouse, an HP Internet Command Center one-touch keyboard, a 10/100Base-T networking interface for high-speed LAN and e-communication access, an internal 56K modem for low-speed connectivity, and a full half-dozen USB 2.0 ports (theoretically 40 times faster than standard USB) and two IEEE 1394 ports for high-speed links with peripheral devices such as digital camcorders, scanners, and external drives. Compaq has pre-installed a variety of software, including Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, WordPerfect Productivity Pack, and a selection of audio, photo, and video utilities.
