I must say, I never had too many problems with ME. But, then again, I suppose I'm not the average user. The problem I see is the fact that it's an HP machine we are talking about here. They have the absolute worst proprietary software I've ever seen. Hardware with drivers that are unavailable anywhere but their "Recovery CD"... HP is just crap. When I first started hooking my friends up with computers, I would send them to Office Max to get HPs because they were cheap and functional. < BIG MISTAKE I've spent more time fixing HP machines than I have setting up new ones.
ikea, understanding that you are on a budget, go to a computer show and buy a new motherboard and case. Maybe a soundcard and a video card, and keep the rest of your hardware. Your RAM and your processor should be fine, but lose anything that's propietarily HP.
