  9. you need to buy more memory if you want to do anything more than word processing on these computers.


    512 min, 1gb is even better.



    i just added a strip of 1gb to my 18month old 600m, a 1.6 dothan pentium m. now with 1 1/4 gig of ram, it had made a significant difference in general application performance, compare to my 512mb setup for the past 18months. mostly due to having too many memory hungry applications opened & long up time

  10. anyone care to comment on how the media surveys or their own experiences have been with

    DELL vs HP vs Toshiba on laptops priced
    $500 - $750 ? at these prices its not the money
    but the battery power and reliability I care about

    I am seeing specials now for similar 15-16 inch monitor models all with 512 DDR or faster ram
    running close to 2 GHZ or equivalent

    but sometimes read of bad experiences consumers have had with each of the above names

    should I just choose one vendor and wing it ?

    maybe I should pay $1000 - $1500 for an APPLE
    macbook
    that in theory can "boot" to windows now with its
    "Intel Inside"

    :p
