That is almost exactly like mine. I looked at the specs and they didn't look different but they prolly are somewhere, but my model is dv6436nr. So, it's gotta be different right?

I got three PC's, 2 laptops and one costume made. My laptop(which I'm using now) I got from school. It's HP Compaq 6715s. It's ok, but nothing special.

At the moment I have a Packard Bell, Windows XP PC that I got for my christmas back in 2005. Before then I had a windows 98 which was the crappest computer of ALL time. It completely broke back in 2002 so I was left without ANY computer for 3 years lol.

I thought I'd put some specs of my PC.

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
1 GB RAM
140GB hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420

It's not the best computer in the world, but my dad and I built it ourselves back in 2000. Runs all my games I have and is fast. I love my PC.

Al, I don't see why you need 300GB hard drive though.

That computer couldn't have been built in 2000. The earliest that some of those parts were available for 2002 or so. There weren't Athlon XP processors back then, not to mention they were in the GeForce2 generation as well.

400GB Hard drive Kino, and you must have mistyped or customized your computer Kino, according to what Dar said.

I love extra space, overkill? Yes, but it makes me feel I never have to worry about going out, and it helps for movies and other media to have this massive storage.

I absolutely LOVE my computer, I'm pretty sure it will outlive us all.. it has been through viruses, crashes, moves, dial-up and Lord knows what else... but I wish it had more storage, too.

Well I wasn't really sure when we built it, so I just put 2000. The last time we modified it was last year when we got rid of my 20GB HD and put in the 140GB and re-installed Windows XP.

So your right. My bad.
