Okay the wife's lappy has been under utilized since the beginning but looking at updating drivers. etc. as she has taken a bigger interest in learning. Think my primary concern would be for the ATI 9700 as I keep reading where there seems to be conflicts and of course what seems to be Hypersonic's "priority" drivers.
Also was wondering what hardware "upgrades" are available as the money she put into a custom paint job precludes a new one.
Here is what she got and really nothing has been touch since purchase 08/05.
17" Wide-Angle WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) Wide Viewing Angle, Glossy Display
3400+ AMD Athlon 64
128 MB Dedicated VRAM - ATI 9700 Pro (M11-P) Chipset
80 GB Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
1024 MB DDR SDRAM (400 MHz, PC-3200) Two DIMM (I read this to mean 2 x 512)
Internal 8X DVD / 24X CDRW / 24X CD-ROM Combo Drive
Internal 56k Modem
Internal 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN
Internal mini-PCI Wireless LAN card (802.11g) Wi-Fi
4-in-1 Card Reader, Sub-woofer, Built-in DV Camera,
Microsoft Windows XP-Home
