Goodies hidden in the HP TouchSmart 600xt

The TouchSmart 600xt is an all-in-one system that really managed to get into the heart of its users. It all started with a successful processor, the Intel Core 2 Duo P7450. It works at 2.13 GHz, has a 3 MB L2 cache and a FSB of 1066. After the success of the processor came the success of the RAM. The HP TouchSmart 600xt is equipped with 4 GB of DDR3 SDRAM (2 DIMMs) that works at 1066 MHz. Most impressive! Now it is time for the hard drive, a massive SATA hard drive with 640 GB of storage capacity, spinning at 7200 rotations per minute. This hard drive transfers data at speeds of 3 Gb/s. And now, the final surprise, the video card! You can find a 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT230M inside the beast.

If you are a gamer, I suppose you are extremely happy now. Like most all-in-ones from HP, the primary optical drive is occupied by a Slot-load SuperMulti DVD Burner. You have two types of connections: the Wireless-N LAN and the Bluetooth. On the front side of the chassis you can find 5 USB ports and a 6-in-1 card reader. These should be of use someday! And, of course, we have the integrated high-performance 2.0 speakers that are always included in the package. HP is offering a wireless keyboard and a wireless optical mouse as an extra for your HP TouchSmart 600xt. You will also find your new genuine copy of Microsoft Windows 7 very helpful.
