Late, Pat Hey bro, don't know if you're interested, but I've got a sony Vaio. It's about 3 years old now, but it's still up to par with many laptops now. It was considered a "Desktop replacement", so it has a lot of powerful stuff you'd see in a desktop. It has a relatively short battery life because of the parts, but it plays (and burns) dvds great. It has an internal wireless g card, and was very quick on the internet. I'll look up the memory for you. It's pretty much got a ton of room to upgrade too. It worked great until the hard drive died in it almost a year ago after 2 years of use. I replaced the hard drive with a 60gb and had a local shop do the work. They replaced the sony version of windows with a generic version which prevented the volume buttons and shortcut buttons from working, but it still reads memory cards. Only a month or two later it went out the same way, I figured it was the hard drive again, and instead of paying the shop to replace it again I decided to buy a new one. The sony version of windows was around 100-200 last time I checked (about a year ago). It needs whatever went wrong fixed, It cost a bit over $100 for the hardrive installed, and it seems like it could've gone out again. I'll sell the computer for 250 shipped obo, with battery, power cord, and all the information I have on it. It really is a great laptop, it just needs some geeksquad help. Just let me know.

Thanks again though. No problem, just thought I'd throw it out there. It should only need a minor fix, but I don't know for sure. I know it's hard to find a good computer online- best luck with it!
