Some people wanted to know which brand of laptop I bought. I bought this one and added 256M of RAM.
Vision also has great tech support. 24/7 and almost no wait time. When my DSL quit working on my desktop, Bellsouth (now AT&T) was no help. Two minutes on the phone and 20 minutes doing what tech support suggested and I was up and running.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on July 26, 2007 09:29 PMBilly - Nope! XP. For Vista I would have had to upgrade to at least 1G of RAM and even that might not be enough. Vista is a real memory hog.
Rob - I know. Tech support and the Farstone restore product were selling points and I'm impressed with both. I've been real happy with the desktop I bought from them.
Posted by: Denny on July 26, 2007 10:24 PMDenny, you're an SRF, so you can afford the RAM. I run XP on an old Pentium III 1Ghz with 1GB of RAM. Trust me - XP is much happier with more RAM.
Posted by: Chet on July 27, 2007 12:44 AMAlways buy more RAM... I'm running 2 GB now with XP Pro SP2... still just a 1.7 GHz Celeron, but will buy a 2.8 GHz P4 when I get rich. I did add a second hard drive 7,2000 250 GB and a DVD DL 16x burner. It is a desktop I build myself, tech support is me.
Posted by: Jim Macklin on July 27, 2007 05:14 PMChet and Jim - All I'm using this PC for is web surfing, e-mail, and blogging. As an old sysprog, I always felt like I never had enough main storage or DASD, but in this case I've got more than enough for what this PC is gonna be used for.
