Score: PC P3 Lappy

[Temetka]

Hell yeah!

I scored a free Pentium 3 laptop. It is made by Enpower and is old school. It is all black and nice and boxy! I love it.

Specs:

Pentium III @ 750MHz

256MB PC100 SDRAM <-- Can go to 512 but I need 4 chip modules as 8 chip modules are not recognized.

ATI Rage 128 Mobility GPU with 16MB of VRAM! 16MB!! Sweet, most P3 era laptops came with 8. 16 is awesome.

100GB HD which I installed to replace the slow 4200RPM 12GB jobbie it came with.

15" 1024.768 LCD. Nice. It can be upgraded to a 1400x1050 panel if I ever find one.

Included the PS, the CD and a dead battery.

It runs XP SP2 nicely and Backtrack 2 great.

I love this machine, far superior to the Dell D500 I have now. I am going to sell the Dell.

That would be a pic of the lappy in question.

So it DID happen.

Oh did I mention that I got this bad boy for free! Yeah baby!

I've always been amazed by the sheer stupidity of computer makers who put CD/DVD drives on the FRONT of a laptop instead of the side where it belongs. If you're in a seat on a bus or a plane, how the HELL are you supposed to open the drive when the front of the laptop is pressed against your tummy?

Agreed! MacBook Pro's are like that too!

And PowerBook G4's.... Thats the one reason why I am staying with iBook's.

Considering I don't use the CD drive when it is on battery mode, it's not a big deal.

/Sticks tongue out.
