| Score: PC P3 Lappy | |
| Posted by: Temetka on 2008-07-10 00:16:23 Hell yeah! I scored a free Pentium 3 laptop. It is made by Enpower and is old school. It is all black and nice and boxy! I love it. Specs: Pentium III @ 750MHz 256MB PC100 SDRAM <-- Can go to 512 but I need 4 chip modules as 8 chip modules are not recognized. ATI Rage 128 Mobility GPU with 16MB of VRAM! 16MB!! Sweet, most P3 era laptops came with 8. 16 is awesome. 100GB HD which I installed to replace the slow 4200RPM 12GB jobbie it came with. 15" 1024.768 LCD. Nice. It can be upgraded to a 1400x1050 panel if I ever find one. Included the PS, the CD and a dead battery. It runs XP SP2 nicely and Backtrack 2 great. I love this machine, far superior to the Dell D500 I have now. I am going to sell the Dell. | |

| Posted by: Quadraman on 2008-07-10 04:46:27 I've always been amazed by the sheer stupidity of computer makers who put CD/DVD drives on the FRONT of a laptop instead of the side where it belongs. If you're in a seat on a bus or a plane, how the HELL are you supposed to open the drive when the front of the laptop is pressed against your tummy? | |

| Posted by: Temetka on 2008-07-10 12:53:27 Considering I don't use the CD drive when it is on battery mode, it's not a big deal. /Sticks tongue out. thhhbbbtt!!. | |
