A powerful performer for family computing needs--from multimedia to finance tracking--or your small office/home business, the Compaq Presario SR5050NX desktop PC offers a versatile, strong base that can easily grow with your changing needs. Focusing on affordability, this desktop provides an extra-large 250 GB hard drive and 1 GB of RAM, with a maximum capacity of 2 GB which allows you to add power for multimedia tasks such as editing video and creating immersive presentations. You'll be able to create DVDs from your own home movies with the 16x dual-layer DVD-/+RW drive, which also includes LightScribe technology for personalized silkscreen-quality, laser-etched labels created right in the drive. Access to all your peripherals is made easy with 2 USB ports and microphone/headphone jacks in the front--as well as a 15-in-1 memory card reader.
Other features include a 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor, Intel GMA 950 video/graphics card with 32 GB of dedicated video RAM (and up to 224 MB of total shared graphics memory), and an included keyboard and scroller mouse. It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, which delivers a safer, more reliable, and more productive computing environment. Vista integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
The Basics

• Processor: The 3.0 GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor delivers additional computing resources and help expand the PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. Each core has 2 MB of L2 cache onboard (for a 4 MB total), and the two cores share an 800 MHz front-side bus. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
  
• Hard Drive: The extra-large 250 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
  
• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC4200, 2 x 512 MB, 533 MHz) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. This desktop has a good 2 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB). Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
  
• DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 16x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R, 32x CD-RW write speeds and 40x CD-ROM, and 16x DVD-ROM read speeds.
  This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
  
• Keyboard & Mouse: It comes with a Compaq keyboard and scroller mouse (both with PS/2 connections).

Video & Audio
Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides 32 MB of dedicated graphics memory. Windows Vista can also allocate up to 224 MB of total graphics memory from the system memory. It also has an integrated audio card that can produce high definition surround sound configurable to 8 speakers.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
For expansion, this desktop has two PCI slots (one available), one PCI Express x16 slot (available), one PCI Express x1 slot (available), two 5.25-inch external bays (one available), one external 3.5-inch bay (available), and one internal 3.5-inch bay (occupied). It comes with the following external connections:

• 4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players (2 in front, 2 in rear)
• 2 PS/2 ports for connecting keyboards and mice
• 1 VGA monitor port
• Headphone/microphone/line-in jacks on both the front and rear
• 15-in-1 multi-format memory card reader, compatible with CompactFlash I/II, IBM Microdrive, Secure Digital (SD), miniSD, MultiMediaCard (MMC), Reduced Size MultiMediaCard (RS-MMC), MultiMediaCard Plus (MMC plus), MultiMediaCard Mobile (MMC mobile), Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, SmartMedia, and xD Picture Card.

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).
Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating:

Rating: - GREAT HP/CAMPAQ CUSTOMER SERVICE & VISTA IS EASY WHEN YOU GET USED TO IT!
At first I was not pleased with this computer. It took a little time to get used to Vista. However, once I got acquainted with it, I grew to like it, as Vista is really a no brainer and does everything for you, such as updates, while you are on line. Should you wish to do a defragmentation, etc. to clean up your computer, it will also tell you if it is necessary, at that time. So you do not have to bother if it does not feel you need to.

I had a malfunction with the power system and ... Read More

Rating: - Too bad that it has to run Vista
The hardware has great spec's for the price, but if you have never encountered Vista before, you will be amazed at what a dog this is.

Rating: - Great PC for the kids...
I puchased this system from Amazon as a follow-up to one bought at CompUSA for use by our daughters.

The hardware specs (1 GB memory, 250 GB HDD, DVD R-RW, etc.) are admirable in a system this price. We didn't need displays or software as we already have all of those items.

The one draw-back for me is the lack of a Windows XP roll-back solution. Windows Vista Home Premium is resource intensive, and real-world memory requirements start at 2 GB for perfomance. If this system ... Read More

Rating: - Great Value - meets my needs
This computer replaced an old Compaq Presario and has the speed I was lacking. Windows Vista seems similar enough to Windows 2000 and XP to present no problems. For the price, it has the features I need and so consider it a great value.

Rating: - just what i expected
