Dual-Core Athlon 64 X2 CPU Has Good Performance
This PC features the dual-core Athlon 64 processor, which AMD has replaced with its current Phenom line of CPUs. The Athlon 64 is a very good performer--faster than Intel's Pentium 4 chips, which are of the same vintage--though it doesn't come close to the performance of the latest processors available today. In the end, this computer won't provide blistering speed, but with this CPU and a fresh, clean install of your favorite operating system, its overall performance should more than satisfy you.

Good Amount of RAM for Running Multiple Apps at Once
This computer includes between 1GB and 3GB of RAM, our recommended level for a new PC. This much memory lets you run any modern operating system and comfortably work with quite a few applications open. The more installed memory your PC has, the more programs you can run smoothly at once, and the better the system will perform. Upgrading memory in a desktop after you purchase the PC is a breeze, but usually it's worthwhile to buy the amount of memory you want preinstalled with the system.
To use more than 4GB of memory on your PC, you need the 64-bit version of Windows XP or Windows Vista. The PCs that you see equipped with 3GB of memory (instead of 4GB) tend to use the 32-bit versions of Windows that are limited to 4GB of addressable memory, the top portion of which is addressed by the various hardware devices on the system.
