Hi guys,

I was visiting Virgin and I saw this " HP Elite Desktop" which they had selling for $1230

I still remember a couple of its specs,


Dual Core Quad Intel
4gb drr2
1 TB hard drive
768 mb nvidia

I don't know much about pc's, but I also need your guy'ses help for not getting ripped off..

What's the difference between Dual Core Quad and i7 programming? ; and what's better?

Is this desktop a rip off?

Thanks!
Any branded desktop is a huge rip-off, regardless of the specs.
I hate it how they sell you stuff without even telling you the entire specs! Anyone selling a desktop should tell you the mobo the videocard not just it's brand, and this elite hp desktop isn't good it is like wizard said ripoff.
My Desktop is currently better, i built it for 590$..
what the hell is dual core quad intel?
