Here's why I have a XPS2 I game, and Ilike my games to be full color, full graphics, high FPS. I am in the Marines, and I move around a lot, including back and forth to Iraq multiple times. An XPS2 is a hell of a lot more portable...

Well, it does run circles around other laptops. Not because of the P-M, but because of the 6800 Ultra. The P-M at 2.13 is, like I said earlier, roughly equivalent to about a 3.4 GHz P-4. But the processor matters less for 3d games...

Thats why I use a nice long, random passkey for my WPA network, just like the article advises... Dave

If you do get a Sager, go with PCtorque.com Better customer service than directly from Sager. Personally, I would recommend a Dell XPS2, but Sager's aren't bad either (I have a Sager as well as my XPS2) Dave

Hmm, I will have to see if I can unitstall the Toshiba drivers and keep the MS BT stack. Not sure if it is possible, without reinstalling Windows, and I am reluctant to do that again, as I have loaded just about everything on my XPS2 in...
