Good question, I was on a budget too, I think I spent 99$ on Amazon used by the way, no issues, check and see if they have any guarantees if it doesn't work can you send back type of thing

make sure you match up your FSB! If you have money left over max out that old ram it wont be expensive. Make sure you buy paste too.

It depends on what u use ur pc for ie gaming browsing the web video editing ... If u can tell me that I can tell u if u are

Depends on what you expect! For normal applications the difference between that quad and a core duo aren't really overwhelming - if you do video stuff it's almost twice as fast as a duo though.... Remember to get a good cooler with it - this thing eats up twice the wattage of a duo and needs to be cooled accordingly....

I bought one for $550 which amazon sells as a used one in their warehouse. I still think it is a good deal. Looks like they still have a couple left.

I have http://amzn.com/B004KY719A in mine. It's currently priced $88.95. It runs very well. I use this as a portable gaming system. I put my old Radeon HD 5870 in it when I got my Radeon HD 7970 for my main system, but even the onboard Intel video is decent for when I use it as a media center box at home.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

You can still get it from Newegg for $330. Tiger Direct has it for $350. If you want to consider the other models, Newegg has a good comparison feature, as well, though Samsung does not provide consistent data for their PCs, which limits effectiveness.

could be. I bought mine for $1460 shipped through a top-rated seller on ebay back in January. I'm glad that it's still not even $100 cheaper 4 months later.

I did buy it at $299 after doing a bit of research. I did find out that the RAM CANNOT BE REPLACED. However, people running Win7 on this machine have said it runs fine for word processing, web browsing, etc. Also, my guesses are that this version does have the 6 cell battery, but does NOT have bluetooth or the upgraded (1366x768) screen. Otherwise, Amazon would have touted that.

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

If you compare prices you'll find you can buy this upgraded unit for around the same price as the older unit if you're including shipping. In my case I didn't need $35 worth of stuff at this time... and this unit actually wound up costing me $2 less than the older one by the time shipping was paid. Pro-shopping... it's almost an artform. :D

This one is prettier! I have the 650 but I don't have the 640 so I can't really make a comment if whether they have the near exact specifications like you stated. I always thought the bigger the model number the better. If I have time I might stop by a Best Buy to play around with it. If you can get the 650 for $900 free shipping on amazon, it's still a good deal. But if you're fortunate enough to live in a state that has a brick and mortar Fry's Electronics, sometimes they have it on sale for $700 plus tax. Their price is different though via frys dot com. You can wait around until Thanksgiving but I don't think it's gonna drop to less than $800 on a 1-day sale. This one is prettier!

It's depends on who you're buying from and what they already have pre-loaded. Since these are used older machines it will differ. I would continue to shop around.

I got the computer about a year ago and I put in a Nvidia 750 and a new 480 watt PSU and it all went fine. The computer is quite upgradable and has a lot of open space inside. It has extra ports for additional ram and another hard drive. The only downside is sort of silly, the power supply that's in it must be somewhat unique as the new one I got and other I've looked at don't have a port for the LED near the bottom of the face, which indicates which power setting you're on. Long story short, you should have no problem upgrading this machine.

Keep in mind that it's not just the dedicated GPU you are getting for that $600. You are getting a faster CPU, double the ram and double the SSD space. That in itself is worth it. The tech isn't cheap!
