Comparing the two machines, you'd think there would be a huge difference:

The only benefits I found were

When I was all done, the results were not impressive to me as compared with my older xw4400; The machine feels marginally faster, although I'm still waiting on the extra memory; I also was a bit too frugal on the video card and realized I should have ordered one with more power for video editing.

Placed this system in service just six weeks ago and I haven't had any trouble with it at all. Helps me get my work done faster!

We bought this for hubby, he needed an upgrade but didn't want Windows8 yet. This fit the bill because we could order W7 instead. He loves the speed too. We have always had HP computers, and saw no reason to change now. .

Screen size works great for admin staff who uses it. Computer is quite fast and leads to increased production. Takes up minimal space on the desktop even with the bigger screen size. A big plus.

Arrived promptly within 5 days, nice compact desktop machines, fast and cool running. Has been running on my test bench for 3 days straight, I feel no heat buildup anywhere on the case even the exhaust from the fan is cool. Bought 5 units for in...

This is a desktop which contains 500GB Hard disk,3.2GHz processor speed and 8GB RAM.It's model is HP

Any men can buy it from ebay with free shipping.It's cost is $660.99

It is the latest version of HP

Most business desktops start out with a quad-core processor, but the Intel i3-3240 dual-core 3.4GHz processor included in the HP Compaq Elite 8300 base model simply doesn't compare to the processors used by the best business computers.

The three-year warranty covers parts and labor; Six expansion slots and six drive bays means your computer can expand and evolve with the needs of your business

The base model comes with only 2GB of memory and the Intel i3-3220 processor only has two cores

Great entry level business machine. Slick case, clean on the inside, easy to upgrade RAM or hard drives. Not loaded with bloatware.
