HP Pavilion a6460t Desktop PC

Genuine Windows Vista with Service Pack 1
Get things done, stay connected, and enjoy 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. Upgrade to genuine Windows Vista Ultimate on your Pavilion PC 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.

ENERGY STAR® qualified
The Pavilion a6460t features an 80 percent efficient power supply; it provides power when needed for intensive computing tasks, then automatically reduces power consumption for less-intensive tasks and when the system is idle. This means you'll save money and help protect the environment, without sacrificing features or performance.

Easy multitasking
You can customize the a6460t with two or four processor cores for maximum horsepower. This technology is ideal for multitasking so you can simultaneously handle multimedia entertainment, photo editing, and even multiple users without slowing down your system. In fact, it's up to 40 percent faster and more energy-efficient than previous-generation processors.

Upgraded graphics
Select a 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT dedicated graphics card to maximize system performance when running multimedia applications. The result: your graphics, images, and video will render more smoothly, and you'll notice a big performance difference, even with basic applications like Web browsing.

Designer disc labeling
The included DVD writer with LightScribe1 lets you burn precise, professional-looking labels from your PC straight on to LightScribe-enabled CDs and DVDs. After burning a disc, just flip it and insert in the same drive for labeling; there's no need to print, align, or stick anything.

Get Blu-ray DVD
Experience the newest in DVD technology. Step up to our Blu-ray disc writer which lets you maximize high-definition entertainment in three ways. You can read and write Blu-ray discs, read HD DVD discs, and read and write traditional DVDs and CDs. Once you use high-def DVD, you'll never go back! Note: you'll want to select a dedicated graphics card upgrade for maximum performance.

Plenty of space
You can never have too much storage space for documents, photos, and songs. With this in mind, the a6460t series supplies Serial ATA hard drives as large as 1TB (7200 rpm), when you customize.

Easy Portable Storage
The optional HP Pocket Media Drive lets you store, share, and transport music, videos, photos, and documents. It docks in its own built-in bay on select HP and Compaq desktop PCs, or you can use it via a standard USB connection. There's no separate power supply, so it's quiet and cool.

Mega memory
The PCs in this series come standard with dual-channel DDR2-800MHz SDRAM, which supports data-intensive applications including photo editing and song downloading.

Awesome audio
Enjoy high-quality, integrated Intel High Definition Audio with up to 7.1 surround sound. The customizable speaker options range from standard two-piece systems to unparalleled Logitech THX certified.

High-quality software
We test and qualify all software sold with our PCs to help ensure that you have a trouble-free experience with your new computer. Our software prices are also competitive: they're equal to—and often lower than—prices you'll commonly find in stores and online.

For your children
If you have kids ages 2–10, consider customizing with EasyBits Magic Desktop software. Functioning as an operating system on Windows-based PCs, it's both child-proof and child-friendly. It lets you control which programs your kids can access, as well as when and how. EasyBits also has a kid-friendly, spam- and virus- protected e-mail program and Internet browser that you can monitor.

Protect your PC
The Pavilion a6460t can be customized with a 15-month subscription to Norton Internet Security 2008 software; you can upgrade to 36 months of protection from viruses, worms, and other malicious programs.
