HP Pavilion a6042n-b Desktop Computer With AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+

The HP Pavilion a6042n-b desktop offers a variety of features for simple storage and sharing of your digital photos, movies and slideshows. Digital capabilities are made easy with an enormous 300GB hard drive and a 19" diagonal widescreen LCD monitor with BrightView technology. Pairing the hard drive with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+ operating at 2.20GHz and 1024MB of DDR2 memory make this desktop computer a multimedia powerhouse. A 15-in-1 memory card reader allows you to transfer photos and files to and from a digital camera or other portable device. Once transferred, burn your multimedia to CD or DVD with the SuperMulti DVD burner with LightScribe Technology. Enjoy the safe, simple and easy-to-use interface of the all new Windows Vista™ Home Premium operating system, preinstalled on the HP Pavilion.

The LightScribe™ SuperMulti DVD drive lets you burn and play CDs and DVDs, including CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM and DVD±R Double Layer, with a capacity of 8.5GB 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 media, sold separately.)
