Compaq Presario A933TU Reviews

Quite Good for Development and browsing
Jul 15, 2008 06:21 PM

I purchased this machine on 14 March 2008 for close to INR 42000. Systemcomes pre-installed with 2 GB RAM but I added a 1 GB module for thesake of it. The screen space is awesome for this price and has good clarity.Its been a boon for me as I strictly purchased it for coding purpose.


I am a Java developer and use Eclispe for my development activities.


I had issues with its Vista which was pre-installed.This Vista which was factory installed was consume 1.5 GB of my precious RAM even in no application running mode.Just removed it the same night I purchased itand installed Windows XP.


Initially I faced certain issues while installinsg XP as was not able to find any drivers it as Compaq has stopped supporting XP on this particular series.


But then I found all the drivers and compiled a list of steps for successful installation of XP on it.


It could be found here in case anyone require it.

Now it run like a charm and consume a meager 400-600 MB in no app running mode.


I have installed all the possible app's available and required for my activities as I am an avid blogger and surfer.
