Extraordinary Overclocking Potential
This is not the fastest chip on the market by any measure, but it certainly holds its own against chips that cost four times as much money when it's overclocked.Get a quality 500W+ PSU, an overclock friendly motherboard (I suggest the ASUS P5ND2 SLI), and some decent fast RAM (DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 should do the trick), and you can build yourself a very fast system without spending much money!
4.1 GHz for Less thane $200 - Probably the fastest chip on the market.
This is the Pentium D 805 which was recently discovered to have some unusual properties that allow it to overclock at 4.1 GHz without major cooling. This is an industry marvel and has shocked everyone. Run a google search for "A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130 - Can it be True?" and you will find the HOWTO article on Tomshardware page. However you need to install at least a 500W PSU.

Worth every penny
This CPU so far has livied up to the hype. I have this chips currently with the asus a8n mother board running 310*9 = 2790 / HTTx3 running rock solid via 2x prim95's. The system is air cooled with my old heatsink XP-90 which never reaches over 40 degrees.
Opty 165 Socket 939
Great DualCore chip for any Socket 939 machine. Rated at 1.8Ghz can easily be clocked to 2Ghz or 2.1Ghz with stock cooler. Idles at 36C and loads at 42C. Easy to install using HSF counting clip and pre-applied termal paste. Runs on a Foxconn PCIe MicroATX board in an Antec Aria SFF case. Very pleased with this purchase. ... Read more

It's good but...
When I got this computer home, I was very impressed with its capabilities.The processing speeds are lightning-fast, and it is ideal for almost any multimedia application.There are a couple of issues, though, that I should mention.One is that the buffalo card that my wireless ISP uses was not compatable with the motherboard in this computer.That meant that I had to upgrade some of my equipment, at a hefty price.Also, after about three weeks, the computer shut down and would not power up again.Sony tech support was awesome, and a technician showed up at my house to replace the power supply and motherboard.After he left, the computer worked for about 20 minutes, and then it crashed again.Now I am sending it to Sony (which is an easy process, as they send a postage-paid box to ship it in) and we'll see what kind of turnaround time there is.

Sony support is awesome!
I have had my Sony for over a year now and I love it.It's very user friendly.My Sony crashed a year ago today.I lost everything on the computer and quickly took my computer in to Circuit City as that's where I bought it and they told me that the harddrive had crashed.Then I called Sony support to see what my options were as it was still under warranty.They walked me though steps to try to fix the computer, which didn't work and then decided that I needed to reformat my harddrive and overnighted me the disks to get that taken care of.I received the disks the very next morning and of course, that didn't work either so I called them again, wierd thing is I got the exact same person I spoke with the day before!He remembered me and said he would send a tech out ASAP to look at my PC and replace what was needed.Tech dude came out and decided I needed to have my motherboard replaced as well as my hardrive, came back a couple of days later and the computer worked!I was so happy, then it crashed again about 5 min later.I again called Sony, and again, I got the exact same guy I originally spoke with!Told him what happened and he then said that my next option was to send it in, of course, like everyone else I was worried about cost, he told me not to worry about it that they were going to overnight me a empty box so that it could overnighted back to them, at no cost to me!It took them a week to take care of everything with my PC and overnight it back to me but I have had no problems since.Circuit City thinks, as I do too, that the computer was hacked into (I already knew that before it crashed) and it just killed everything in there, everything inside my computer was replaced except my disk drives.I have had no problems since so would I recommend a Sony to other people?Absolutely! Great customer service, great support, very speedy and I have had no problems at all since the crash/replacements.

So Far So Good
Purchased 1 month ago as a floor model.Saved $200 over lowest price on internet. I'm a photographer and nothing that I run seems to bother it. It's very stabile, even though I don't have much expierence with XP/MCE. This is my first Sony, usually buying Dell or Compaq in the past.The minute it causes problems, you will be the first to know. Buy it. The features are incredible and it currently seems to be crash proof.

Thanks Sony
Here's another Sony innovation which has been given the short end of the advertising stick!The Sony Vaio VGC-VA10G is a fast, quiet and easy machine to set up.While I have only had it for a day, it has been so far a joy.
BEST ALL-IN-ONE VAIO YET
I love--LOVE--my new VAIO.The sound and display of this computer are AWESOME. Wonderful computer with a great screen
Best screen I have seen on any computer.Pictures and DVDs are as good as it gets.On the internet I have used both the wireless(I connected to my neighbors wireless internet for free for this test) and direct and both worked very good and were easy to connect.It looks great in the den, I leave it on 24/7.We had a party last night and I took over 100 digital pictures, as I took the pictures I would copy them to the VA10G.It was easy to take the SD card from the camera and inset into the slot on the front of the VA10G.After loading the pictures onto the hard disk I used the XP picture viewer software to run a slideshow.We had a great party and the beautiful pictures on the VA10G were the hit of the party.

good start for a project
This computer came equipped with a few decent parts and a long list of annoying features.
Great machine for the price.
I bought this computer a couple of months ago and it has really worked well. I particularly like how quiet it is....compared to my last machine, this is virtually silent. The hard drive and ram are sufficient even for some gaming, although I use it mostly for running a business. Fast performance.

Decent machine, quiet, no parallel port though
HP confirms, no parallel port on this machine.Of course, I knew that, having bought it already.But it's a well-specified machine and is a good deal at $600.Considering that the machine has 7 USB ports and 2 FireWire ports, the missing parallel port isn't a connectivity issue, only a cost issue, as you can easily buy a USB-parallel cable.(Amazon.com sells one for $9.99.)Some things that I like a lot about the machine are that it's very quiet and has very crisp, high-quality video output. ...

A great choice for adding to your entertainment center or home office that's cramped for space, the Enano 945DVDMCE07 desktop PC measures just 6.5 inches square and 2.5 inches tall.
