Time for a new laptop

Beginning of main was the launch of the new Centrino pro stuff. The two main nice things about Centrino pro is 802.11N and DX10. Forcing a high end standard sure is nice.

All the notebook forum kiddies thought it would take forever for the DX10 laptops to make it to market and that they would be expensive at first. They were wrong. I dunno why I listened to them.

You can go to freak'n egghead and for $1500 get an ok setup machine with a Nvidia 8600M DX10 card. If you order from a reseller for about $1500 you can get..

15.4 WSXGA 1600x1050
Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
8600M 512M
2 gig
160 gig drive ( 5400 )
1G crazy Robinson memory card deally
wifi card
dvd/cd read-write

Whoa. So much easier to do than my last laptop purchase. I'm going to be doing some more research, but I think another Compal will be in my future. Now the big question is... Do I go for 4 gig?
