HP Pavilion D4000e : Review

Quote: At $2465, the midsize tower we tested is more affordable than most power systems on this month's chart--but its performance also lags behind most of those same models. HP built our review D4000e around a 2.4-GHz Athlon 64 4000+ processor with 1GB of DDR400 SDRAM; it earned a WorldBench 5 score of 101, about in line with what we would expect from a system with this configuration. Although Micro Express's MicroFlex 40A has the same processor and scored 118 in the same test, that model included twice as much memory as this HP unit. In our gaming graphics tests, the Pavilion D4000e achieved 139 frames per second (ninth overall) in Return to Castle Wolfenstein and 247 fps (twelfth) in Unreal Tournament 2003 at a 1280-by-1024 resolution. Those results should satisfy most casual gamers who want a system that packs some punch but at a lower price than most power systems.
