Compaq Presario SR1950NX Media Center Desktop PC Desktop Computer Review

The more I hear about Windows Vista...the more I like my Presario SR1950NX Media Center Desktop.  It has plenty of memory (1024 MB) and a 250 GB hard drive.  From what I hear about Vista, 1024 MB of memory just isn't enough.  You better double that amount.

Considering my very first PC came with a mere 256 MB of memory (which I upgraded to 512) this Compaq is FAST!  I've had this one now for about a year, and my only complaint is HP help is a little slow.  

Prime example: When Service Pack 3 came out from Microsoft, the PC would only start in "safe mode".  It wasn't until weeks later that HP came out with a fix, because it ran a AMD Processor and not an Intel.  I had to go back & un-install Service Pack 3 until the fix came along.

I make a lot of CDs for friends & myself.  Using a built in program, I also make my own CD covers.  From Windows Media Player, I drop down on the "file" tab & then select "print label".  Instead of using store bought CD inserts, I simply make my own from card stock paper and then trim them out to fit into a CD case.  Looks professional!  Using "LightScribe" makes for an even better looking CD.

I love my music...and this PC or any other compatable Windows XP Media Center PC is the one to have.
