I've read all these responses on M9080N and will it do RAID... the simple answer is yes it will. Here's how. CAUTION: This will destroy all of your data!! 1. Create system recovery DVDs from Start Menu > Programs > PC Help & Tools > Recovery Disc...
I'm confused as to what the difference is to this HP model, compared to the m9150f. They both have practically identical specifications except for the hard drive space(m9040n=640gb, m9150f=720gb) and the m9150f carries a HD-DVD player, and somehow the...
For a computer not being built by yourself this is a great computer. I added a LG Blu-ray/HD Writer for $300 and It is now a real TV computer. HP has built a good one here,Rates a 5.6 on Vista scale. And Vista is doing it's job, When It came out there...
This computer was purchased as a donation for a political campaign - I am told that it functions well....
It arrived on time, and is working great. Hardly makes any sound (unlike my old PC). If i'd HAVE to criticize ONE thing it would be Vista. But you can always install XP on another drive. (which is NOT as easy as one would think. Have to search a little...
I have spent my entire adult life building computers. I always wanted the fastest, most functional computer I could get. Tired of doing this I decided to buy a pre-built computer. I bought the m9040n. I have had it for about 3 months and really like...
After three weeks working with HP's Total Care service group, it was finally concluded, after many decision reversals, that this product is not RAID Ready capable. Total Care has suggested looking at the m9040n, which does have RAID capability. Also...
I do not wish to review this purchase just yet. I wrote earlier that the item was shipped to my brother in Washington who brought it to me in Canada. I then came back to Jamaica with the item. Somewhere between Washington, Canada and Jamaica we lost the...
Just got the M9040n and so far so good. I added a set of Logitech speakers and work very nice with the integrated 7.1 card. The Q6600 QUAD processor gives a great speed and the Nvidia card performs a very nice video in my HP display. I recommend this...
I purchased the HP m9040n from a big box retailer. It has worked well from the time it came out of the box. I was previously working on an older Presario desktop with a single processor. That computer couldn't handle the task of editing HD Video....
This PC is excellent for my needs. I'm using it to run a small home business. It's also great for my multimedia projects....
I opted to get this machine with the 64 bit OS (Vista Ultimate) installed so I could get the 8GB memory expansion. However, on HP's website for this model, there doesn't appear to be a driver available for the wireless card. Also, there are no free PCI...
A friend of mine recently bought this system and I played around with it for a few minutes. Great components! I am really interested. However, I'm still not sure if the 2 harddrives of this system are configured in RAID mode (RAID 0 or RAID 1 -- and I...
I got this computer about two weeks ago. This baby is lightning fast. How good is it, you wonder? Windows Vista has a utility built-in that ranks the hardware its running on. The scale is 1 to 5, 5 being the most optimum hardware for the operating system....
I have had my m9040n PC for a while now and it is a Great all around PC, It's my 3rd HP. at first I Hated Vista, MS loves bugs on a new OS, I even took Vista off and installed XP PRO. That was a lot of work but with HPs help finding the necessary XP...
Going into the third month of ownership the tower developed a loud hum that changes in volume, almost like a transformer, but a little higher than a 60 cycle hum. I opened it up, stopped all three fans that I could get to and they are not the culprit....
The m99040n runs now for about eight weeks. Speed is faster than my old AMD 1600 XP. But not as fast as you would expect from the Q6600 vs. AMD 1600 XP. Everything works well. The TV media portion shows very low picture quality even if set to "best" in...
I bought my HP m9040n in early November with the intent of using it for a lot of video and photo editing. I also wanted to take advantage of its DVR capabilities once I figured out how to link wirelessly with my home theater. Unfortunately, I really...
HP Pavilion M9040N Elite Desktop PC (Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600, 3 GB RAM, 640 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) This is a good computer and configured with quality components. I've now owned this for about two months. I have spent untold hours...
I purchased my HP m9080n tower from Fry's in November 2007, and have used it for business purposes. Initially, it performed spectacularly. Great speed, handled many programs running simultaneously, little or no noise from the tower. NOTE: That's the ONLY...
Purchased HP M9040N end of November 2007. Computer crashes frequently. On start-up computer asks for reboot and select proper boot device. When inserting recovery disks, get error message that HD cannot be found. HP support only wants to...
I was very disappointed with my computer and the service. I was told that if I paid extra for "premium" service or new premium software the computer would work as promised. Many of the multimedia functions the computer advertises either do not work or...
Got the m9080n yesterday, unboxed it, hooked all cables, switched it on and....nothing! Just a very loud noise coming from the unit, like something very bad was happening.No signal to the monitor. Called HP and was told they would send me a new power...
What a nightmare. I will keep this short and sweet. Windows Vista is a disaster. The computer finds it almost impossible to connect to wireless networks with more than one access point. Stability issues in 3D games such as World of Warcraft and Doom III...
