Well.. I just bought a laptop with the same
specs as this url.. around 700 with shipping and all.. new..
hopefully the CPU is good enough for vista 32bit for a few years at
least.. I dont think it was a true dual core 2 though. (certainly not
667mhz like the e1505 we just got at work).
The graphics is just integrated intel.. I guess that should work ok,
maybe even for some minor 3d in progs like Maya 8. At the very least
I can do web/programming type work easily.
I'm also nearly 100% sure this laptop's bg card can be swapped out
with this unit,
but nearly 100% sure there is no way to upgrade the video card since
this is an integrated unit.
I'm not sure on CPU.. how easily can these be updated if need be?
Whole motherboard swap I'm betting?
At any rate.. I didnt want to spend alot, but get decent "windows"
performance.. so I think this one makes the cut.
I may also upgrade to 7200rpm, but as mentioned prior.. this may not
help alot.
