zomfg guys, for real. I have been using my 15" laptop for about 2 weeks now b/c my computer decided to not act right. I cant determine what it is between the ram, mobo, hdd, and cdrom. I am thinking it is the mainboard, so i am fixing to rebuild it. Today however, i got tired of jsut looking at it, so i tinkered with it a tad, and got it running, well, maybe i should say limping. Before it went down, i was looking into upgrading my monitor, but after looking at my laptop for 2 weeks, this 19" wide is making me oh so happy. My picture is perfect again. for real guys, this is so awesome.
Anyhow, i am still fixing to do a little rebuild on it, and these are the parts i am looking at...
AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 2.8Ghz
250GB Seagate Sata 3GB/s 16mb cache 7200rpm hdd
ASUS M2N AM2 NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
Adding all that in with the following i already have...
2GB PC4200 DDR2
Geforce 6800 GT 256MB
WriteMaster CD/DVD-RW
550w Ultra X-Connect PSU
Should be a decent little rig. That board supports up to 8gb of ram with and a dual core proc, so i shouldnt have to upgrade it for a while. The proc should be uber badass. I have been playing with some dual core 2.0 laptops at work with only 1gb of ram, and shitt hdd's/vid cards, and they are badass.
