Best Answer: It all depends on what you are using your computer for , just surfing the web will not take as much but will definitely be better with a faster processor, but playing games or running big software might be a reason for you to either upgrade or buy a new one. Now a days it doesn't take long for a computer to be considered slow especially if you are like me in the lower to middle class. Luckily i know a bit about computers and I am able to upgrade mine with little cost due to eBay and wholesale company's. But it really depends on your need for your computer. - Jarred Y
The first of this month (March) I bought a brand new HP Pavillion Slimline s7700n and a HP vs19e flat screen. The package came with a free Canon 160 printer/copier/scanner. It came with Vista software but since I use Excel and Word a lot - I had to purchase additional software. Vista has their own version of a spreadsheet and wordprocessor but they just wouldn't do what I needed. The 'tower' is only 11" high and about 4" wide. This is what it came with (besides Vista); AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 3800+for true multitasking. 1024 MB memory, 250GB hard drive, supermulti DVD burner with light scribe technology and wireless lan 802.11 b/g. It does everything and then some. - Linda D
