I received this computer 3 days ago and I still can’t get it up and running! It comes with no phone modem, so I had to buy one–only for it not to fit, so I had to use an old one I had in one of my old computers. It has no place to plug in a different keyboard, only has 4 usb plugs in the back. So, there went my keyboard that I wanted to use. It comes with very limited instructions on Windows 7–can’t figure out how to set up my email account to work with the internet explorer. It took me 2.5 days just to access the internet, in a round about fashion. This computer is slow–or it’s defective–I don’t know which one. I now have to do my online stuff on this stupid laptop that runs XP. I love the XP but hate using a laptop. I’m angry with this computer and want it to go away. Wonder if I can return it to AMazon??

I am now on my third hard drive with this computer. I purchased it in nov 2008. The first hard drive was replaced quickly by HP, the second one I had to pitch a fit about. The third one has been installed for about a month and I am already getting hard disk errors. Do not buy this computer!! I lost a lot of time and money over the hard drive issues and now I don’t trust it enough to store anything on it. I am going to give it to my five year old for games.

First off this computer is by no means a powerhouse, now 8 gigs of DDR3 is very nice. Also the processor is decent for the price(low end Phenom II Quad. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because of the bloatware that appears when you turn this computer on. Internally this computer is very well laid out and has room for a much better graphics card not to mention because the motherboard is AM3 it can support all of the Phenom IIs even the 6 cores!

Researched the P6330F on the internet and decided to replace a 6 year old Dell with a new H/P with the Intel i3 processor and Windows 7. Installed the computer and migrated all my old XP programs with no problem. Only problem with P6330F is the 15-1 media card reader. It does not work and after spending 1-1/2 hours on the phone with a tech in India, it still does not work. A case manager suggested that I send the computer to then in Indiana to be repaired. After a trip to Office Depot, I purchased a Sony 15-1 media card reader. Installed it and it works. If you run into problems with your H/P product, avoid calling H/P technical support. Find a local solution like I did and you will be very happy.

OK, so after 7-years, I decided to upgrade from my DELL GX240 that, even though still runs strong, I figured it was time
The price of this unit was reasonable though packaged with Windows-7 (lived on XP for the past 7-years) and turning out to be a HUGE learning curve
A couple of things I didn’t like right out of the gate…
The mfg. used the entire drive (1-Terabyte) for the “C” drive, not giving the user the opportunity to peel off different partitions to designate either an install drive for programs or to store data.
I’ve always broken my drives into sections so that, if the operating system blows up, I could reformat and reinstall without having to blow away all my data or programs. In this case, storing everything on the “C” drive, if Windows takes a dump and I have to do a recovery or reinstall, everything is lost. Of course I’ll be backing the drive up but, where? I don’t have another Tera drive and if the contents get to exceeding the limits of other drives that I have, where do I back it up to? I can’t imagine, once the drive starts filling up, how long it’s gonna take to access files spread across a terabyte partition.
The GUI is gonna take some getting used to and although it isn’t HP’s fault that Microsoft put out different “flavors” of Windows-7 (like they did with XP), there are features available with 7-Pro/Ultimate/Enterprise that aren’t available with the Home edition
giving you less control over certain things like.. oh… uh… hmmm.. lemme think… SECURITY! Like… users and groups, perhaps, where one could set individual permissions, create groups, etc… to control who gets to see what…. who is allowed to install software… you know – things like that 
There isn’t even a local policy manager (or at least I couldn’t find it) UGH!! I guess that’s why they call it the Home Edition – geared for those less savvy users. Looks like I’ll be getting myself a copy of Win-7 Pro, blowing away the manufacturer’s install of Home and starting all over again – WITH partitioning 
They nicely peeled a piece of the drive off for their recovery image – it’s on the “D” Drive but who cares? I won’t be using it anyway once I create my own image and start running weekly full backups with daily incrementals.
I feel like I’m learning to walk all over again but like I mentioned in the beginning, it’s been 7-years so, as far as IT is concerned, I’m virtually a dinosaur not having kept up with the latest and greatest but, I’ll get it – fast learner
