Xplio 1090de review (repost)

I see alot of people coming to see about the xplio 1090de review so here it is..

It looks like its now on sale for $479 for just the tower?? You cheap bastards...just joking I should buy one 2...

Here's the old review

-----------
Xplio 1090DE Desktop Computer
pentium D 805
512meg 333mhz ram (looks like they upgraded the ram to 533 instead of 333)
200 gig hdd (looks like they upgraded the HD to 250 gigs)
ati onboard video card x200 ?

Good things about it
Dual core 805d which can be overclocked (maybe not on this board)
onboard ati radeon (well better than intel extreme graphics, at least you could play 3d shit out of the box) will do until you get some money

Cons
----
Only 512 meg ram! (which was 333mhz)
256 of this ram is shared with video so techincally its only 256 megs
(you should buy an extra 1 gig stick straight away (not from staples/b en gros)

Overall
------------
Basic dual core computer , possibly overclockable ..you can bump up the fsb of the 805b without much trouble,(depends alot on the motherboard)
Things to upgrade when you have more money
RAM
Video Card

Recommeded if you are looking for a new basic computer to replace your p3 450
