I put together what seems to me to be a reasonable box. $1457.62: Mobile Athlon 64 3000+ 512 MB RAM 60 GB 7200 RPM HD XPPro 1 Year Express Tech Support Leaving out XPP would save $142.03 I would have some form of Windows available for it so that you would be sure you had a working box if you had some problems getting parts of it working with Linux. You might want to look around at [link\|http://froogle.google.com\|Froogle] to see what other "Athlon 64 mobile" PCs are out there. E.g. there's [link\|http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?submit=Go&DEPA=0&CMP=OTC-Froogle&description=N82E16834224014\|this] one at Newegg. 3400+, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB 5400 rpm, XPPro. The other specs make it sound like the same laptop. $1599, but it's out of stock. In short, the Adamant machine looks OK but probably a little overpriced unless you get a really stripped-down version. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

All the comparable pentiums have 128mb ram -- why the hell are they skimping on the AMD laptops? "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young

Post #198,674 by cwbrenn 3/14/05 9:32:58 PM Reply	That's very strange, because I could configure a 3400+, with 1 gig of ram and a 60 gig hard drive for a little under $1500, not including shipping and handling... "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
