149150 2003-06-02 01:25:00 Would welcome any advice on the current Compaq Presario offer via Warehouse Stationery Flier. Integrated graphics yes, but does have one 4x agp slot. What would people put in to "disable" the integrated graphics.

Any other comments? Thanks

149151 2003-06-02 01:41:00 You disable the integrated graphics in the set-up (bios) screens, but for anyone to judge the package fairly, you would have to post the full specs and price.

Cheers

149153 2003-06-02 02:24:00 no monitor???

sounds ok... could be a bit pricey, considering it has no monitor, but otherwise sounds ok.

Maybe a bit more RAM might help

149154 2003-06-02 02:36:00 One of my friend just brought one of these, the specifications are as follows:

AMD 2200+, 40gb, 256 DDR, 48x12x48 (I think) cd-rw, onboard sound/graphic, multimedia k/b, optical mouse, 6usb ports, 17" monitor, HP PSC1210 Multifunction machine, Windows XP Hm, NAV, MS Words, MS..... loads of other software.

These are off the top of my head, but I did say to him that it was a good deal, and still think so, considering they don't know much about computers, its a Compaq branded (they're always bit dear, but good quality but good backup, as they brought it cause they had suffered more than enough with their old PC) Software, if brought retail would of cost HUNDREDS.

Still, I believe its a good deal, you might want to buy the extra warranty to a total of 3 yrs for $1850 incl. GST total I think

149155 2003-06-02 02:48:00 hmm... yes if it does have a monitor, and all the bundled things (MFC and Software), it does sound like quite a good deal. somebody (208)
149156 2003-06-02 03:03:00 Ha! Yeah, my flatmate is Business Computers Manager or something for Warehouse Stationery and was going on about how good these computers are...

Seems like a good deal if you ask me, although the prices of Athlon XP CPU's is coming down ridiculously low anyway...

Lo.

149158 2003-06-02 05:49:00 I think this Warehouse Stationery deal is very good.
I hope it drops the price of secondhand models with slower clock speeds, memory and HDD capacity.
Have you looked in the T&E, see the dreaming noddies who still want moonbeams for their secondhand junk.

149159 2003-06-02 05:58:00 I often wonder whether those 'dreaming noddies' ever do sell their 486s or pentium 75s for $600 or so :) Well maybe not as much as that, but that was the sort of asking price from them was a year or two ago. Talk about living in a dream world.

Like a local 2nd shop trying to sell an old 14" monitor for $75. A week or two ago at Turners Auctions, good 4 year old ex ACC Compaq monitors were going for $70.
