Product description

Acer Aspire AM5640-U5403A Desktop PC

Features

Dual-core processing: The Acer Aspire AM5640-U5403A desktop features the 2.2GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 processor. The Pentium Dual Core has two processing engines that work together, giving this processor much more power than standard 2.2GHz processors.

  • This desktop features 4GB of advanced DDR2 system memory—more than enough the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals.
  • Data travels to the processor along the frontside bus. The faster data travels, the faster everything works. This desktop features a speedy 800MHz frontside bus.
  • L2 caches keep data neat, organized, and nearby so processors can retrieve it quickly. This 1MB L2 cache will give the processor a little boost.

Hard drive: The huge 500GB hard drive is perfect for expansive collections of movies, music and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 7200rpm, providing faster-than-average access to your files.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit): Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your desktop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

Audio/video: This desktop features 256MB of shared video memory, which is drawn from the main system memory, with support from the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 7100 graphics card. This video memory is perfect for everyday activities like casual movie watching or gaming. The USB speakers give your multimedia some extra kick.

Media card reader: Seamlessly transfer images from your digital camera, MP3 player or camcorder. This reader is compatible with Secure Digital card, SmartMedia card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, CompactFlash I/II card, Microdrive or xD-Picture Card.

Tons of ports: With one FireWire, one parallel, one HDMI, one D-Sub VGA, two PS/2 and eight USB 2.0 connections, you’ll be able to add all of your favorite peripherals.

Great product
Reviewer: Julie from Eagan, MN on Apr 8, 2008

I bought an Acer 20 inch monitor about a month ago and really liked the brand, so when my desktop took a dive, I looked into Acer for desktops and found this one. I just got it yesterday and it was super fast to hook up--nothing to install!!! I was nervous about Vista but it works well on everything that I used before. I looked around for the most 'bang for the buck' and you WILL get your money's worth!!
