HP p6290d PC




Got my new PC last Sunday. It is a Quad core HP PC.

Love it. Ergonomics. My first branded PC. I used to assemble previously with bits and pieces and ended up with a mix of rainbow colour of periherals.

With a branded PC it just makes me proud to be a owner of a PC. Powerful. Upgraded from previous AMD Athon 1.8 with motherboard supporting only 1.0, IDE disk.

Now much faster DDR3 ram, 6MB internal cache, SATA disks. Cool.

Will consider for a new HP again.

Only draw back it's a windows 7 32 bit OS. :(

Thanks for the feedback from the comments by user.

I am attaching my Windows 7 Experience Index here.
Apologize, I am unable to enlarge the attach at the moment till I figure it out later. The base score is 5.9.
Processor: 7.2
Mem: 7.2
Graphics: 6.5
Gaming graphics: 6.5
Primary hdd: 5.9

Recently, I tried to run Age of Empire II and believe me or not that I was unable to run with such a sophisticated machine. I got some driver issues. This machine comes with DirectX 11. I suppose the net has some resource that said some dll are omitted from DirectX 9.0c to directX 11. Hence can't play AOEII.

Financial Spread

I have been touching on spread lately. In a contango market ie.
Bullish view on the commodity market eg oil or gas. One thinks that
the prices will eventually be up in the future eg 3 months later. The
opposite is known as backwardation market. This is ignoring the
current oil price market ie. Flat price

To trade profitability in a contango market , one will sell M1 and buy
M2. And to close the position will simply reverse it with buying M1
and sell M2.

This is known as a time spread.
