HP Pavilion Elite m9600t Review
When you’re considering a PC like HP’s Pavilion Elite m9600t, you have to give yourself honest answers to two basic questions: Are you a PC enthusiast, or do you just want a high-powered computer that doesn’t call a lot of attention to itself? And do you have the time and patience to suss out problems on your own, or do you prefer the peace of mind that only a large tech support operation can provide?

Gamers and PC enthusiasts will be disappointed with this machine, but they’re obviously not HP’s target market—at least not with the Pavilion series. Those folks are a niche market, and HP bought the boutique manufacturer Voodoo PC to meet their needs. Computers like this one are instead aimed at mainstream buyers who want a machine that delivers power without drama and at a price point that doesn’t induce a nosebleed. The Pavilion Elite m9600t delivers on both those counts.

HP Pavilion Elite m9600tFeatures and Design

If you purchase the Pavilion Elite m9600t directly from HP, you can configure it with either of Intel’s latest and most powerful mainstream CPUs, the 2.66GHz Core i7 920 or the even faster 2.93GHz Core i7 940. The machine HP sent for evaluation was outfitted with the former (the Core i7 940 would add $400 to this system’s $1,450 price tag).

The Core i7 has earned accolades from every corner of the tech industry—it is truly a sublime piece of engineering. It’s a quad-core microprocessor that uses Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology to provide the operating system with eight processing threads to work with. Threads are lightweight sub-processes that can operate concurrently but independently, which enables the computer to get more work done more quickly. Multi-threading won’t automatically make every task faster—the software application you’re using must be specifically written to take advantage of the feature—but the list of such programs keeps getting longer. Some of the more popular multi-threaded apps include Adobe’s Photoshop CS3 photo editor, Autodesk’s 3ds Max modeling and animation software, and Avid’s Pinnacle Studio 12 video editing program.

The Core i7 is equipped with an integrated memory controller that can handle three channels of DDR3 memory, and the Pavilion Elite m9600t is equipped with three 2GB sticks of DDR3 memory to take advantage of it. But HP uses relatively slow modules: The Core i7 can handle memory that runs as fast as 1,600MHz, but the memory in this machine runs at a modest 800MHz.

A tech enthusiast might try boosting that clock speed by accessing the BIOS settings in the Pegatron IPMTB-TK motherboard, but those values—as well as those for the CPU—are not exposed to the end user. Most people won’t care about that, but if you ever decide to add memory to the machine (the motherboard can handle up to 24GB with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium that’s installed on the hard drive), you’ll have to remove and replace both the regular hard-drive bay and the bay for HP’s proprietary Personal Media Drive
