This is a good price for a pre-build no? I mean only thing that sucks about it is the video card

All I see is a black hole, and sooner or later they’re going to suck each one of us into it. But when they come for me, I'm going to take as many of them with me as I can.

Not too awefull bad, you are right about the included video. to correct that issue, it'd be cheaper to build your own. What mobo? Would be a question I'd ask of any HP computer.

I looked up prices for an 5000+ X2 and it goes for almost 500.00 so I could always just rip the computer apart and buy a new mobo.

I don't think its worth it. Why not build a Conroe system instead? They're probably using cheap Hitachi drives, generic ram, and some POS motherboard. That case looks like ass as well.

Still, that's a damn good price. I've also been pricing a new computer, and a system with similar specs I'm looking to spend about $1,300. Whereas I could buy that system and add an Nvidia 7950 SLI and have money left over! I don't think a 2.13ghz Conroe would totally crush the AMD 5000+. (starts looking for benchmarks...)

EDIT: Scratch that, it's a total bitch slap against AMD. As you were...

Since the 'core' series 2X is called "duo", what will they call the 4X's? "Quartettes"?
