holy damn alright then. was checking them out at futureshop/bestbuy and they always seemed to have more ram and hard drive but I guess the rest is shit. always was suspicious about the price difference.
HP customer support is amongst the dumbest support I have ever had the displeasure of being in contact with. HP customer support have become infamous because of how bad it is. Contacting them makes you feel HP has outsourced their support to a place where there no PCs or to people answering calls from home or their basement that have no computer knowledge but read through a talk list.
From what I hear, HP service people read information off a screen. Even if it defies what the customer has said, and basic common sense. Stupid idiots is what they are.
Last time i heard the HP support site was the #1 site when it comes to support and customer privacy. And don't talk shit about the AMD Athlon 64 2800+ socket 754, they work just fine
