Egads, nice catch. I just downloaded it yesterday but did not install it yet. Huge thanks, --TSK
In that case, I'm a bit middle-of-the-road. My I3700 was perfectly fine for what I was doing until about beginning of '03 - six months before the extended warranty ended - and that was a Celeron 466 (then again the most it was playing...
Well, two things: Appearance: The notebook needed to be presentable for work, including around VPs. So the 8890 (at the time the new model) won out over the new AW. Features: DVI out (I'd only seen that before on Apple...
I'm okay with both. Though being an old Solaris guy, my heart is still with CDE (I'm using it right now). And I'm not going to discuss SunView (SunOS 4.x window system). --TSK
The Dell you configured is much like my 8890, except better battery life. Brief descrip in sig. I think either will do fine. I've had no issues with a 128 Meg video card (8890), and unless you're doing extreme work (like ArcInfo,...

I use a NEC MutiSync LCD1530V. 1024x768 in 15" LCD. Quite happy with it, if there is ghosting I can't notice it (mind you I've used LCDs for over a decade, so my idea of quality may be suspect ). It plays Renegade, HL,...
