The HP Compaq dc7600 series of

computers are a group of cus-

tomizable computers systems with

an affordable price and the power

to be an excellent workstation in

the office environment as well as at

home. In our case, we received

the ultra-slim desktop unit to test

and give this system our Best In

Class Award for value, power and

compactness.

Although this particular model

is available as a tower or a larger

desktop, the ultra-slim version is

great for those cases where you

don’t have a lot of room to spare.

Still offering the same computing

muscle as its counterparts, this

version is just a bit larger than a

notebook although you will still need to

purchase a monitor. With a

3.4GHz Intel Pentium 4

processor, 1MB Level

2 cache RAM and

512MB of DDR2

SDRAM the sys-

tem’s performance

was rather impressive. Add to that a

fast SATA 80GB hard drive and the data

processing performance was above

average for computers with this combi-

nation.

Our system had an integrated Intel

Media Accelerator 950 graphics card,

however with the company’s web site

configuration program you can choose

between two faster NVIDIA cards and a

DVI adapter which will

really complement the HP Compaq

dc7600. The system uses a multibay for

some peripheral items such as our

8X/24X DVD-ROM. As more offices are

going with a faster Gigabit network, the

computer has an integrated Broadcom

10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet port with

options for a wireless hookup if you

need it. Other peripheral devices can be

attached through a FireWire interface

and we really do appreciate HP

Compaq’s normal six high speed USB

ports available with the computer.

The dc7600 ships with Windows XP

Professional, although you can save a

few dollars by going with the

Home version. If you prefer a

Linux based system, HP offers

this computer with the HP

Compaq dc7600

Alternate OS called

F r e e D O S .

Productivity software

isn’t included with the

base system but the

configuration pro-

gram gives you a

wide selection of

packages that can

be installed on the

shipped system.

When you need

the computing power

for business applica-

tions in a work environ-

ment, the Hewlett Packard

Compaq dc7600 system offers

great space savings and

excellent performance. This

particular computer is priced on

the company’s web site for around

$1240. To find out more details or

Product Reviews VTECH i5871 Phone System When cell phones came out with picture taking capabilities, many of us couldn’t wait to take a snap shot with the camera of our friends so they’d be easily recognized when they called us. Today, you can have that same technology with the VTECH i5871 5.8 GHz digital phone system and we award it with our Best In Class Award for performance, features and functionality. The i5871’s size and shape somewhat resembles that of a TV remote control device.
