    1. You should get a wireless card
    2. The 4 cell battery is inadequate

  5. how long typically does a laptop work before it
    craps out ?

    I had bought a toshiba a few yrs ago
    and in the last yr its motherboard
    or something related to bios messed
    up and it does not boot up
    or if it does ... it stops again
    meaning stops booting up

  7. So what did you end up doing? Maybe you might consider this machine if you haven't bought yet:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-Inspiron-6...854392629QQcategoryZ38121QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    The seller has a nice track record and the machine seems to fit within your initial parameters and pricing. :)

  8. Whatever you do - go for the 512MB. It will make all the difference in the world. A jump to 1GB would be nice, but not as significant as from 256 to 512.
