Last time I encountered a batch of HPs I found them idiosyncratic. A tweaked version of Windows and tweaked drivers seriously limited configuration options. Video cards were limited to a short list on their website. Hardware mounts would not fit certain types of drives and I had to make my own brackets. Setting up the HPs was very expensive. I hope things are better now. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
