8/30/06 Ordered E1505 With Core 2, Thanks To All

Hello to all,
My first post here!
I wanted to tell everyone about my brand new order.
But first I want to "THANK YOU ALL"
!!!
I ran across this forum several weeks ago and used it extensivly in concluding the purchase that I made.
Reading in the DELL part of this site I beleive helped me and I again want to thank everyone here that posts about pros and cons different types of configurations, the problems their having, when new hardware is coming out, especially the Core 2 Duo for the E1505s.

You can't beleive the laughs I got when I was at the local DELL kiosk and I knew about the Core 2 Duos launch and they DIDN"T.....heh heh heh ...and it was because I learned about it here....kudos to you guys, ......
(& gals)..<grins>
Anyway I ordered last night.
Ship date 9/14
Thanks for all the help from everyone. I just registered so that I could now paticipate and most of all thank you!

Also best of all I have the;
Core 2 Duo processor T7200 (4MB/2.00GHz/667MHz)

OK Brain freeze what are you referring to with the X1400? please tell... fathergoose OK got it the vid card... Why is it you would go for the ATI over the GeForce not that I am saying I know simply that I did do quite a bit of wringing of my hands on that selection.... In the end I went with it but I REALLY would still like some ideas here...so go ahead and shoot.... fathergoose

LOL....I don't see how? Do you? (What are you really saying, <grins>)

Thanks for the post...I am like some others and wish they had some better Vcards with these so called Non gaming laptops....I may change the card in the order, seems the best choice after all. fathergoose

She wanted nothing less than what she has now which is the I8000 and 15 inch screen so that leaves the W3J out although I like the looks of the ASUS laptops. fathergoose
