Well long story short before my warrenty expired got it fixed 2 times within a week memory went bad and when we got it back dvd or cds didn’t work…so then now after my annoying comp pentium 4 3.0 Geforce FX5200 which i upgraded myself 1.5 years ago didn’t come with one also upgraded to 1G of ram from them may have given me crappy ram :( now starting to have same problems again with my memory dieing so watch out for microcenter for annoying service and cheap fixes so go to comp usa and Powerspecs bad memory and quality of thier products. Now im more scared that my motherboard is frying my memory all i need is this one to last me like 8 more months :( when i have more money to replace it with my laptop for college TR series /cheer w/ 4 year warrenty including sony’s free year. Sad thing is i would have less problems on a slower speed processor and HD. But may just be the 3.0 powerspec my dads is 3.2 works for over 2 years now and my grandpa is the 2.8 still working great. Guess its always the guy in middle. So watch out you can avoid this by getting a sony lol or better brand. Don’t ever by dells but thats differnt story lol!
