well, im waiting for my system from irland.
Only thing im unsure about my setup is the intel wlan.. but maybe g and 22MB isnt that realistic, and if it becomes a standard i probably can buy the intel g/b later on. But its the only thing on my setup i have second thoughts about.

The video drivers, whats the deal with catalyst/omega drivers to those dl from dell site?

and what 3dmark prog is the best to test the machine? it probably has to be charging for a day before i can test this.

Because in norway 7200 isnt available, and also 80G was part of a free upgrade. Its a multimedia deal and total cost of this spec was in us $ 2250

And in norway prices are very high compared to other countries.

The day after i ordered the system, they put 1.5 m instead of 1.7 as standard multimedia deal. And is now a 215$ upgrade, so i was lucky there.

not sure if im going to call the salesperson and ask for the tm 1300 b/g in the morning, if the order isnt sent yet. its a 50$ upgrade.

stick with the b card its really not neccessary you will get much better speeds with the ethernet for file sharing and most broadband connections dont exceed b standards excluding Korea and Japan

hm i pay 14 $ a month for just 1.5 mbps

anyways think ill just keep the intel, i hate decicions when it comes to computers. Was promised 7-8 days delivery so well see, its bigger and heavier than my previous one so this can be interesting.

Ah, Korea, my old stomping grounds from 1997-98. I was stationed at Camp Stanley, working about 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. Not fun . Led to excessive drinking in my off time . All the Koreans I met were quite nice, though .

I was at Camp Humphreys in Pyongtaek 92-93 .. 3rd MI Bn, 504th MI Bde .. We had it a lot more easy that you did ..5 1/2 - 6 hours a day 3 or 4 days a week ..

Left lots of time for drinking and partying

I loved it there .. Great people, culture and food ..
