    Hey guys, my friend just alerted me to an all-in-one system from HP, (Omni 100) going for $300 including shipping.

    It has AMD Athlon™ II 250u Dual-Core Processor - 1.60GHz and ATI RadeonTM HD 4270 integrated graphics. I have not kept upto date with any kind of hardware for a long time. Does anybody know how this would compare to my Intel dual core T2300 1.66GHz with an ATi X1400 (512 mb) from about 5 years ago?

    thanks!

    In terms of using it for HD movie streaming or rendering it is a big improvement but for gaming, it is still a very lackluster performer. For $300 though, it is not too shabby.
