If you upgrade to 4GB - only 3.25GBs useable - of system memory and reformat your dual HDDs to RAID-0, your Memory and Primary HD ratings should both increase as well. Be careful with the 8600GT because the HP Pavilion OEM power supply may not like it. A 7600GT will do nicely for a big boost in Graphics performance. The 8400 is surprisingly poor, but a 7xxx series card will not support Vista's DirectX 10.

Another pleasant surprise (in my case - no pun intended) is that my HP Pavilion's memory actual meets the PC2-5300 specs, so runs faster than advertised (PC2-4200). Luckily, when I upgraded to 4GBs, I installed a pair of 1GB PC2-5300 memory modules. Again, only 3.25GB is addressable in a 32bit machine, but this particular upgrade should increase your PEI (for Memory) a tenth or two.

I've got a Corsair 520-HX comming with the 8600GTS - should have added that to the earlier post. The ONLY good thing about the stock PSU is that it's quiet. I haven't had too much time to mess with it - had shoulder surgery a few days before I received it.

No, it's part of the processor. I was actually researching this yesterday. If you can, try to to get the one that has a dual graphics combo, I believe it's the 8670 or 8750

I do not operate in a Windows environment, so I'm not certain how that will impact the performance. I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS AMD 64bit and use the editing software that is open source. I have no issues with this at all. This is a quad core unit and it runs fairly quickly. I am very satisfied with my rig.

This is that model. I use it for the same. The K version only means it is an unlocked version that allows it to be compatible with more motherboards and memory options. The model I received is unlocked, and so therefore was a K version. Also, your CPU (this component) isn't what will give you the best/fastest renderings, instead you'll want to focus on getting a good graphics card (GPU), this can shorten render times and give you better images. I hope this helps. Best of luck. Feel free to send any additional questions. If I may ask, what software and/or rendering service do you expect to be using?

I don't understand the question, but this is my 3rd Sony VAIO All-in-One and I love them! This one is super fast, and the reason I grabbed it is because it was one of the very few remaining Windows 7 operating system. I do not like Windows 8 at all, nor the concept of everything having to be in the cloud now.This is one fabulous computer, and I couldn't be happier with the speed!

This does not have a 8 core processor. Also Amd is good. but i tend to lean towards intel. i can tell you this.. this laptop renders 3d faster than my friends i7. its a good buy.

Kind of sorry to hear that you won't be our guinea pig. :) I understand why you would chicken out.Honestly, I am one of the minority of IT people I know who actually likes Vista. Still, there has been a lot of backlash about Vista. I suspect Windows XP will be around a lot longer than MS wanted. Only time will tell.In any case, you must have Vista check out that HP 2133. *****As another side note, I am curious if you were leaning towards this MSI Wind for the larger screen? Or did you not know about the new HP model?Toshiba and Sony have some small models too, although I've only seen high end ones. Don't know if they make ones comparable to this one.Soon, all the companies will have versions of them.

Dear all, NVIDIA Quadro 2000 by PNY in working on my machine perfectly. Note that my PC configuration is (Gigabyte GA-P61 + Intel Core i3 3.1GHz + 4GB RAM). I tryed both Windiws 8 and Windows 7 "64 bit" on SolidWork 2013 and it's all perfect.

It is a Quad core and it handles everything just fine, even under fairly intense graphical processing. You might want to bump up the ram for hardcore gaming, but works just fine with little slowdown on anything but the most intense graphical processing.

NVIDIA Tegra 4 = Quad-Core ARM Processor, what part of 4 are you not seeing? BTW - In this tab you can also change how much of the cores you use, you can set it to performance (all 4) or balanced (2 cores) - save power mode.

Nothing really. It's rated at like 5.6 teraflops which is great for things like mining Bitcoin and to has a lot of direct compute power. If you are in the graphics industry you really should be looking at a Quadro or a FireMV card. I Titan is also a good choice because if it dual point floating precision. Also on a side not this card is so loud you would need to shout over it.

This is an i5 machine running @ 2.5 GHz with a fairly slow 500 GB 5400 rpm hard drive and Intel 4000 on board graphics. In Windows 8.0/8.1 Performance is just OK nothing special. Surfing the net or word processing or other office type tasks are good. Movies and Video seem to be OK. Forget about any super games requiring a REAL graphics card! I installed Linux MINT in a second partition (Dual Boot) and Linux is very quick and responsive. Most things my daughter does are available on this Distro so even with ClassicShell she rarely goes into Windows

Windows Index scores the Asus GT 640 2GB as a 7.4/8 score. This card is ultra reliable, runs games at medium to high settings smoothly and doesnt have a loud profile. Ive enjoyed the hell out of this card on my back up gaming desktop.

It is listed as 2.4 ghz, and it's a quad processor. It's fast for a moderate priced laptop.

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

This is the question/response with HauppaugeQ: Does the Intel Core 2 Solo processor (SU3500) with internal Intel Graphics 4500MHD (64MB) meet the minimum requirements for the HVR-950Q? I have an Acer Aspire 1410 with this configuration and I would like to use the HVR-950Q with it.A: Unfortunately you will not be able to run that device on your machine since it is too underpowered to be able utilize the unit properly.

I don't know what any of that means, but I can tell you it's one of the slowest computers I've ever had. I've got an old msi gt660r and it starts up and runs apps and websites about 7 times as fast as this piece of junk. Maybe it's Win8.1 but if I was you I'd avoid it.
