[old.Wildfire]

OK I have a 1k budget to spend on a laptop (give or take)

current leader is this;

Dell Inspiron 4150
2.0GHz P4
512mb DDR RAM
40GB HDD
24x CD-RW/DVD combo
14.1" screen
Radeon 7500 gfx
internal v.90/10/100 cards
external floppy drive

weight : 2.55kg
thickness : 37mm

price : £990.88

can anyone beat that? all opinions and suggestions welcome

Stuff like that and alienware = very expensive way to lose spec and money on stuff you won't give a rat's about after the first week you've had it. (imho)

I just upgraded my PC recently and it wasn't that expensive and It works pretty good. specs are:

• Asus P4T533-C Intel 805E Motherboard
  
• Intel P4 3.06 GHz 512K L2, 533MHz bus ( overclocked it too 3.6Ghz and it's still stable as a rock! )
  
• 2x 256MB Rambus RDRAM PC1066Mhz, ECC RAM
  
• MSI GeForce FX5800 ULTRA-TD, 128MB DDR2, AGP x8 Graphic Card
  
• 2x 200 GB, Western Digital, ATA100, 8mb buffer, 7200rpm Hard disks
  
• 19" Sony FD Trinitron, 1280x1024@85Hz, 0.24mm, Monitor ( I prefer quality over looks. CRT's have higher refresh rates than LCD's which makes games run smoother )

And that's about it

Bought my computer over a year ago, but its still purring like a beast

Using a Soya mobo, can't remember/be arsed to check which one but it was one of the best boards out at the time

Amd Athlon XP 1600+

768 DDR

64Mb Ati Radeon 9000 Pro

40Gb 7200RPM HDD

Oh and I've got a big old nasty PHILIPS monitor which i've had for about 2 years, and I got it 2nd hand for about £30 then

Been meaning to upgrade it but never seen anything come out that has been worth the money.
