Yes, I totally agree with Ling. As far as overall opinion I think Vicious is a great place to to get a nice laptop at a resonable price. I like my I8600, but when I turn this back in, I'm considering the 259IA. I think it has all the...

As far as drivers, ATI has made great improvments in this area. Personally, I would choose the Omega drivers for both ATI and Nvidia GPUs. I think I want to go back to school, just for the discount percs. ^_^_^

Hmm, shooting down an entire company for a bad experience with a single product is a bit harsh. Yes, I would also like to know how long ago this was purchased. If this was purchased some time ago, the hardware was good for those...

That is a very good card. I may also look into that one, you can never have too many WiFi cards. Make sure the version you get has the external antenna jack. ^_^_^

Thanks for the info. After more research, I think EKM is definitely the best place to buy the 223II. The battery doesn't seem to last as long as I would have hoped, but still above 3 hrs. Seems the Seagate 100GB drive is still...

I have to say, for the price point/market they are shooting at, Dell is a very good buy. We have them at my job, and they work out really well. I just recommended one to a co-worker in work, and actually talked her into getting something...
