While we are at it - 2007 upgrade will be exciting. Some system specs on my new notebook are: 3.9 GHz Dual Core Max of (SmithField/Yonah/SesamieStreet/WhateverIntelNamesIt) Bus Speed of 1200 MHz PCIx-2 3DMark2005 of...

This is not your typical inspiron story: Install Oracle 9, JDK, Informatica, Weblogic, 3-6 EAI+SRM+CRM+SCM apps, .NET OR the Microsoft bandwagon. No games except maybe one or two (WoW). Intend to make full use of WUXGA. And oh yeah -...

Its been so long that I kept seeing my orders in the build stage that it was a surprise to see something finally get out of it and move to testing... cant wait, dont wanna wait, but will wait.
