HP Pavilion P6130F Desktop PC Review

This desktop tower has the 95W version of Phenom X4 9750.Performance wise, it's comparable to the Intel Q6600 Quad Core processor.In the Vista performance indicator, both CPU's get a 5.9 on computational power.Since this uses the nforce chipset for both the SATA DVD writer and SATA hard drives, you may have some issues reinstalling Vista or other OS's on it; but with the proper drivers from Nvidia, it shouldn't present a big problem. With the PC, you also get a Geforce 9100 integrated graphics (with DVI and VGA out), which makes it pretty great as a non-gaming workstation.There's 1 full sized PCI-E that can take a graphics card upgrade. The power supply is only 300W, but that's still mostly sufficient for something like a low powered version of the Nvidia 9600GT card (which is what I upgraded with), as the CPU itself doesn't take as much power.The 750GB HD is nice a big. The layout of the case is a little odd (inverted from most PC's, as it opens from the right rather than the left), but is plenty spacious and has good airflow.Great value for $600.(I bought this from Fry's Electronics on sale for $550 + tax, which ends up being pretty close to the $600 price tag.) Highly Recommended!
