HP Pavilion Ultimate d4999t series Desktop PC

Intel's latest dual-core and quad-core processor technology on a full ATX motherboard translates into power and performance for you in this do-it-all PC series.

Smooth operations
Get things done, stay connected, and enjoy a variety of entertainment in a secure environment with genuine Windows Vista. This series comes with genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Aero, Windows Media Center, and instant search functionality. Upgrade to genuine Windows Vista Ultimate on your HP Pavilion d4999t and you'll notice the difference in the new look, instant search, built-in Windows Media Center, and automated security features. You'll be able to create family photo albums and home videos, listen to music, automatically record TV shows and movies onto your PC, and explore games.

Multiple cores for multitasking
You can customize the d4999t with two or four processor cores for maximum horsepower. This technology is ideal for high-definition entertainment and games, especially when running multiple applications, and it's up to 40 percent faster and more energy-efficient than previous-generation processors.

State-of-the-art disc labels
The included HP DVD writer with LightScribe lets you burn labels from your PC onto LightScribe-enabled discs1. After burning a disc, you just flip and reinsert it in the same drive for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or stick anything. In addition, your d4999t can be configured with a secondary optical drive that lets you play and burn a DVD at the same time. You get the option for a high-definition DVD-ROM, which boasts up to six times better resolution than normal DVD-ROM formats.

RAID for data protection and performance
The d4999t offers 7200 rpm Serial ATA hard drives in sizes up to 750GB. Or you can customize with a RAID drive, which comes with two Serial ATA hard drives (up to 1TB). Select a RAID hard drive to optimize your PC on the basis of mirroring (for data backup) or performance.

TV flexibility
Each model offers an optional PCI TV tuner card with personal video recorder (PVR) so you can record individual shows and entire series, plus pause and rewind live TV. Upgrading to the dual TV tuner lets you watch and record two programs at once2. Add a remote control and you can direct the show from up to 10 feet away.

High-capacity portable storage
Travel much? Add our Personal Media Drive, a removable storage device that's easy to grab and go. It fits in the d4999t chassis, or you can use it externally with another PC (via USB 2.0).

Fast transfers of photos and music
This series makes it simple to transfer photos and music to your PC from portable devices and digital cameras. You'll download everything fast with the built-in, 15-in-1 digital media card reader, which is located on the front panel for easy access.

More customization
The d4999t has a full ATX motherboard that includes two PCI and four PCI Express (x1) expansion slots so you can customize your PC even further. Give yourself the room to expand with additional PCI expansion cards as you see fit.

Protection for your PC
The Pavilion d4999t comes with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2007; you can upgrade to 36 months of protection from viruses, worms, and other malicious programs. For even greater protection, select the Roxio BackUp MyPC software, which creates automatic file backups and restores files in the event of a system crash.
