Warranties are troublesome to me and looks like warranty on product is one year. Warranty through Amazon doesn’t hold much water and Circuit City’s one only goes into effect after initial warranty expires and replaces the “Desktop” once only. Not too much info yet on HP’s site as to what warranty extras are available. Also doesn’t look like there is a manufacturer’s option to add extra memory on purchase. Will it really run well on 512mb RAM?
Hi Bob Crook,
No news on extended warranty’s as yet. Memory wise, 512MB will be fine as long as you are not using it to stream media, if so at least 1024MB would be needed.
