I would have thought a firm as large as US Micro wouldn't let a CPU out of it's facility set up like this.
It is HP & Crucial RAM so it looks fine and tested out as good but the unbalance is a problem. I suspect the reason is there are 4 slots for RAM, but the 4Gb RAM were loaded as three sticks, 2x1Gb and 1x2Gb. US Micro gets points for that.Ĭons: On boot up there were some strange problems. I would have thought it was new if it wasn't an old machine.
Out of the box, I opened up the CPU and was pleasantly surprised to see how clean it was. The 3.0Ghz chipset is pretty fast for most standard uses, the 4Gb RAM is fine for most uses. Overall Review: Pros: The price was cheap for a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system. You should be able to change the boot order (away from the recovery partition) in the BIOS. One possible reason that some of these systems boot to a recovery screen is because they come with a hidden recovery partition on the HDD. Uninstall any 'battery' drivers that Windows tries to install. It's a good combination of legacy and newer technology. Also old serial and printer port headers. For instance there are USB headers and up to four HDD SATA headers (one is for eSATA) on the main board. If it passes, as mine did, you should be in good shape for a while at least, but imaging and backing-up your system is critical to avoiding data loss. You can also test the HDD with HDD Scan or other similar. I use Macrium Reflect free - excellent backup/imaging software. I strongly recommend immediately imaging your system. Overall Review: rebate? haven't received it yet, but still have hope I will. For what they are, these units work well. If you need a cheap, SFF, but with still enough power for most common activities (HTPC for instance) - go for it. I'm updating because I noticed that Newegg and US Micro have more of these units for sale. This little PC is still chugging along fine after almost 4 months.
