Intel Core2Duo is good.
ViiV is marketing hype. You can ignore it, or read the market-speak here:

Yawn.

The rest of the specs are great. Not a bad purchase. Hope the file transfer completes succesfully.

File transer went OK. Five hours later anyway....

Now I get to learn how to use Vista and get rid of all this HP crap that's loaded and reconfigure everthing. Now I remember why I waited so long to upgrade...

The machine's fast.

Good to hear that the transfer went well. I've owned a couple of HP including the one I'm using now. Both performed very well. Congrats on your new toy!!
