In Depth: HP Pavilion a6330f

This follows our list of today's announced HP desktops, servers, and displays.

HP Pavilion a6330f

A very inexpensive desktop featuring:

• 2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core 5600+ processor
• NVIDIA nForce 430
• 3GB RAM (DDR2)
• 500GB SATA HD @ 7,200 rpm
• HP Pocket Media drive bay
• SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe labelling technology
• 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics
• 15-in-1 (front-mounted) card reader

Other connectivity includes 6 USB 2.0 ports, 2x Firewire ports, VGA, and audio in / out. A multimedia keyboard and mouse is thrown in as well.

The a6330f will be available, in the US, later this month starting at US$649.

So in Australia we could be seeing a very capable, sub-A$1000 desktop before March.
