Here's the laptop I've customized. Anyone who already owns a gateway feel free to speak up about your experience. Otherwise I'd like to hear what you think:
Gateway® M460XL

Memory: 1024MB 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2-512MB modules) ........ [+US$90.00]
Video: ATI Radeon X600 128MB Graphics I'd especially like to know how this sizes up, and if it can be upgraded after purchasing.
Extended Service Plan Including Limited Warranty: Notebook Total Protection Plan -- 4 year parts/labor/on-site/4 year toll technical support w/ 4 year ADP ........ [+US$389.99] Any positive/negative experience with their support?
