i bring the compromise between the two units you listed sony S series toshiba m3 EDIT: ignore me, i did not see your price range, sorry I say acer, but have you tried looking at ebay, you can get some real steals.

don't forget your swap and hibernation files.

be aware not for the faint of heart,....... its not like building a desktop.

um, clean install windows.... not recovery, fresh install. My Father has a Duron running at 800mhz, and there is not way in hell that old thing runs as fast as either of my lappies, you may just have alot of bloatware.

you should be able to get one online, or just refer them to sony, tell'em to go shove it, they are clearly trying to rip you off.

its not that a program could help the intel chipset used does not allow anything over DDR333.

if by slick he means 3dmark03 score of about 600(maybe 700), then yes really slick, i was going to get the MSI 12 turion laptop, i was all ready to order and then i found out the 3dmark score on the thing, still twice as fast a gma.
