Both monitors were properly set up as a full width desktop with no user intervention.Note that cables did not come with the machine for this, but I had some that had come with the monitors.Īfter plugging in the Keyboard, mouse, ethernet and audio, I turned on the system and let it run the Windows 7 installation sequence. Each monitor has both connectors and a "source" button to select between them, so I left the old machine connected and connected the new one to the unused connectors on the monitors. The Radeon video card has DVI and VGA connectors, which is exactly what I used with the old machine to connect to my two SyncMaster 213T monitors. The motherboard information is at this HP page Initial Setup I also did not buy any audio stuff, because I am happy with my Cambridge SoundWorks sound system. 15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audioīeing happy with my two Samsung 21 inch monitors, I did not buy a monitor.Integrated 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet, No wireless LAN.512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter.6GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM 3 DIMMs free upgrade from 4GB (one DIMM slot remaining).Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-750 quad-core processor 2.66GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared 元 cache.The best deal I found that did not add a bunch of stuff I did not need was an Hewlett-Packard HPE-150t with minimal upgrades: Core I5-750 is an Intel Nehalem architecture quad core processor with hyperthreading turned off. Over time, if I am good :-) then I will keep this up to date as I continue to make changes.Īfter research on the web, I decided that what best matched my needs was a Core I5-750 based machine running Windows 7 Home Premium. This is a diary of of the build, including moving hardware, installing programs, and upgrading drivers. Since there is no out-of-the-box migration solution from XP to Windows 7, I approached this as a complete rebuild. I upgraded to a Core I5 based PC to get better performance for picture editing and to be able to run CAD software that my Pentium 4 machine just could not handle.
