I know theres a thread for this kind of stuff, but this is a nice deal. The 2GB of RAM, 19" and 3yr warranty put this over the top.

You can change it around and get a 250GB SATA 7200 rpm HD and a x600 instead of 2 gigs for about the same price.

I saw a huge increase with 2 gb compared to 1 when doing photoshop and also multitasking with some memory intensive apps. 4/27/2006 10:16:54 PM |

better to go less ram and bigger HDD, stick with the shit video. upgrade video and ram on your own.
And this is pretty sweet, considering it comes with a 3yr warranty. Too bad the lcd is analog 4/27/2006 10:17:08 PM |
