-Can't post links, but you can find them both on Cnet.com with full specs.

This:

HP Pavilion a6750y:
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9650 (2.3 GHz) ; RAM installed: 8 GB DDR2 SDRAM ; Hard drive: 750 GB Standard

or

This:

HP Pavilion a6720y:
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9550 (2.2 GHz) ; RAM installed: 6 GB DDR2 SDRAM ; Hard drive: 640 GB Standard

The 750 has two more gigs of ram, but the 720 is cheaper and had a ton of great reviews on (I believe it was) Amazon?

So my question is this: I'm planning on going with the a6720y - for the price, if all I'll be doing is basic internet browsing, playing music files, burning CD's, and the use of an occasional program like Adobe Photoshop or possibly even some music program, is this good enough? Or is it a shitty brand/comp/whatever? Is there something "not good" about it? Or perhaps I can possibly get a better machine for the money? Or is this, again, "good enough and possibly "more" than I what I need?

Any comments/opinions/suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

The a6720y looks more than sufficiant for what you say you want to be doing with it. However if you wanna be future proof and/or plan to do some gaming, then would be better to buy the a6750y. Given the choice I would buy a6750y.

HP Pavilion a6720y is good enough for most things

6720 is more than enough for you but as stated you could future proof yourself by buying the 6750

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Posted on another board as well and a member suggested that I just "build" my own PC. Sounds like a good idea, what do you guys think?

Wanted to ask him a few more questions, but I'd already overdone it, I think. lol

What I wanted to ask, tho', is this: Would the finished product (consisting of the below parts) be much faster than the a6720y? I think it's roughly the same price for what seems to be a faster machine.

One last thing: I can't even find the a67250y for sale anywhere. Anyone know why?

Thanks again!

Its seems that you copied the shorter version of the links from another location, so they dont work.
