So my boss is oredering me a new PC

Good:) So you went with the suggestion offered long time back. The machine will give the highest possible Windows Experience Index. Make sure that you reformat and get rid of the HP crap.

I would second that as HP has way too much junk installed.

Too bad they don't even provide the specs of the hard drive (which is the most important part of the PC).

7200RPM which is pretty good.

<topper_mode>7200rpm is the bare minimum. Besides, not all 7200rpm disks have the same performance, there are several factors that affect it. I run two WD Velociraptor (10000rpm) in RAID0, and I still find them not fast enough. If only I could afford a couple of SSDs...</topper_mode>

Jealous! Especially the 9GB RAM. :omg: I recently got a new computer that came with 1GB. I had to tell them that wasn't enough and to install an extra GB. :doh:

Nope. You'd need an SSD to max out the HD rating at a minimum. IIRC a single 260 falls short of max on the GPU test as well.

Remember about RAID. They come in 0 or 5.

No that's 5400RPM (many laptop drives, and the WD green series). The WD greens are perfect for USB enclosures since you're bottlenecked by the bus badly; and for bulk data storage because they're marginally cheaper, run cooler (less power consumption, less heat aging), and spin slower (less mechanical load on moving parts - longer life expectancy, also quieter). I wouldn't recommend one as a primary drive; but if you have an SSD for your OS/apps your mp3/mpg collection won't be affected any by being put on the green drive. Edit: actually IIRC there's a few laptop drives that are only 4200RPM.

That's similar to my home PC, I think you'll like it. Differences: CPU - my 920 is watercooled and screaming at 3.87 ghz. :cool: GPU - I have SLI 260's HD - I have a 120GB OCZ agility, and a WD 640 black. RAM - only 6GB, filling both banks hurts OC performance and DDR3 was almost $50/gig a year ago. I've yet to exceed 5GB used so I'm not too concerned here yet; and 4GB dimms currently have a 2x price penalty attached. :sigh:

That number could be misquoted. From here* it says a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface should do 4GB/sec, if MY math is correct. * http://www.pcisig.com/news_room/faqs/pcie3.0_faq/[^]
