This Computer has the 3 Gig AMD 6000 CPU and what looks to be other great thing but this Computer is made shoddily ,when you call for the Help you get people in India(nothing against India)that tell you different things from each person even when I have been lucky enough to get to talk to people in the USA they knew very little about the Computer ,4 months later problems are popping up all over ,it is the worst peice of junk I have ever been unlucky(ok stupid enough) to buy ,I will never own anything from HP unless its an older one ,I am shocked at HP Service and this awful computer ,if anyone would like to write me just let me know here and I will send you my E Mail on a scale of 10 I think this computer would still get a 4 Thank You rsdno
