Crash Test for HP 6640C

by Montepenny Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 25 '00
Pros: Great Value, Great Capabilities
Cons: Crashes from time to time.
I am very specific about what I want in a computer, so I spent considerable time comparing brands and models before I decided to buy a Hewlitt-Packard 6640C.

It offered everything I was looking for...15 Gigs of hard drive space, 48 Megs...

Fantastic PC Fantastic Price

by Machisco , Dec 16 '00
Pros: Cheap Easy to use, powerful computer
Cons: The only thing I can think of that isnt 100% perfect is the AMD k6 revision 2 processor...ATHLON or P3 (maybe even p4..?) would have kicked azz
First of all, let me tell you that this PC was probably one of the greatest deals I have come across yet. Not only is it incredibly easy to use, and powerful, but it also cost me only $799. But this was back in March 2000 so I'm sure that it can be...

by OneMoose , Apr 26 '00
Pros: Terrific value, rock solid, and fast

by J.Rockford , Apr 15 '00

Pros: CD-RW, only $799 for a K6-2 500 and a CD-RW
Cons: Sis530 video card, only 64Mb of ram
Of all the computers that Hewlett Packard released this year (i.e. 6600, 8600, and 9600 models) the 6640 is by far the best computer out there...well, as far as the deal goes anyway. Bang for the Buck, this is the best computer out there from HP this...

HP 6640C - A Great Buy!

by bright888 , Apr 01 '01
Pros: Reliable, Inexpensive, Nice Design, 3 USB ports!
Cons: Needs more serial ports
I have had my HP Pavillion 6640C now for almost 2 years and it has been very reliable.

I was concerned that the processing chip was just an AMD instead of a Pentium or Celeron chip. The computer is very speedy despite of the chip. I am a...

Pros: easy to use, good tech support
