HP Pavilion Media Center a1624n-b Desktop Computer Bundle With AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 3800+ For True Multi-tasking

The HP Pavilion Media Center a1624n-b Bundle includes a huge 19" LCD flat panel monitor and is specifically designed for today's digital media. It is powered by the AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor 3800+, a dual-core processor capable of running 2 applications simultaneously, and comes installed with Windows® Media Center 2005 operating system — which offers a simple, convenient way to enjoy your photos, music, videos and movies, while handling your other computer needs as well. The a1624n-b features 1GB of high-speed memory, a large 250GB high-performance hard drive, a multiformat DVD drive and a memory card reader.

The HP w19e 19" widescreen LCD monitor offers WXGA (1440 x 900) native resolution for a great picture, plus fast response time suitable for action movies and high-speed gaming. It boasts built-in speakers, adjustable tilt, and both analog and digital connectivity options for optimum flexibility. And measuring just 14"H x 17 3/10"W x 8 3/10"D (including base), the monitor saves desk space, too.

The LightScribe™ DVD±RW drive lets you burn and play both CDs and DVDs, including DVD±R Double Layer format, with 8.5GB capacity per disc. The LightScribe feature lets you etch silkscreen-quality labels (grayscale text and graphics) onto discs using the drive itself: After burning content, just flip the disc over in the drive to burn the label. (Labeling feature requires LightScribe-compatible discs, sold separately.)

The memory card reader is compatible with 9 different formats: Secure Digital™ (SD), MultiMediaCard™ (MMC), CompactFlash® I and II, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick PRO™, xD-Picture Card™, SmartMedia™ and Microdrive™.
