Becautious with these. They have shared video so they will not run 
Vista, no big deal for us, but they also have the broadcom wireless that 
only Unbuntu will recognize at present. Compaq/HP is unloading all their 
"Non Vista" boxes before Vista is released. One of my students has one 
($750.00 in Feb)and it is a pain to work with. Many of the games he uses 
will not run on this box. I don't run games either but Compaq has never 
had a "Linux friendly" reputation so just be "Buyer Aware" on this "Deal".
