I'm not worried with the hard disk or the amount of memory. That is a "later" thing

Currently, I can do all I need to do in 4GB of memory and a 200GB disk with 30GB dedicated to Windows XP and the rescue partitions. Though I've only booted Windows 4 times now on this T61 I have right now. Those were to update Firmware and so on for the hardware.

I doubt I'll boot Windows on this new one any more often.
