Compaq X6000 vs HP zd7000

Jan 10, 2005 3:11PM PST

This is what i know... X6000 is same as ZD8000 with the 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics card, but HP does offer a 256MB dedicated which is faster than the X600 card, but it comes with a huge price tag so the ZD8000 is definitely out of the question.

So my question is to you guys and gals.. Is the Compaq X6000 with the same processor speed, ram, hd, but with the 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) X600 dedicated graphics card be better for gaming than the over priced ZD7000 with the GeForce? FX Go5700 128MB graphic card?

What are you guys/gals thoughts on these two desktop replacements?

My price range is about $1500 tops so if you see a better deal than what is above please let me know.

Does anyone know if there is currently a forum for X6000 owners?

I know theres a forum for the ZD7000/8000 out, but not sure if theres one for X6000.

Do a google search for X6000 reviews and websites

You can do a google search using X6000 and it will pull up links where it is used on the internet. There vary likely will be a forum but sometimes the forum is under the HP variant (like HPDV1000forums.com) for both sister models while others are under the Compaq model variant (X1000forums.com).

I ordered a X6000 the other day from Compaq, your config from techdepot for $1738 after rebate is ok, I added 512k ram but compared to my price but I was able to get a gig of ram for another $34 and DDR2 is not cheap right now. Also right now Compaq is offering free wireless and dvdrw on custom orders.
