It depends... what will you use it for?


RE: buying laptop by Stigmata on 05-21-2004 at 10:48 AM

ummmmm programming, vb, c++

internet - firefox, messenger, mite be botherd to download mozilla

flashfxp, kazaa lite, mirc, winamp, lots of lovely music least 7 gb of it

those arn't highquality computers. P3 750, not much ram.... small HDs.

and with ur 7GB of music, maybe its better to get a bigger harddrive.

but if those are the only choices, go for the middle one.

its pracitly any laptop from http://www.greenpc.org

There all very average.  Perhaps save a bit more nd get a decent laptop theres some very cheap ones on the market you know :P

Get a dell laptop with desktop p4 and 512 ram, 60gb HD, geForce FX5200 go. My friend has one and it runs anthing great, even high graphic 3d games!

k i think i got this sussed

i notised it was done in php so i decided to edit them and have a look around

and now i can get

windows xp home edition: http://www.greenpc.org/products/detail.php?id=715
and the second choice pc:
http://www.greenpc.org/products/detail.php?id=707

for £384.99 + a discount of something :S

for the near the same price as the first one
http://www.greenpc.org/products/detail.php?id=739
      £389.00


:) like my idea :P, now i get a better deal on the first one for the same price :P

well, for programming, a P3 500 really sucks. A P3 600 (I have one), allready has troubles with just the f### os you want to use (winXP). When I enable edit: disable all visual sh#t, it works better.

It seems you don't have much money. Is that true? Anyway, for ~300 you won't get a good computer :(

Buy a Voodoo, they're awesome and start at only $4000 (Canadian $'s) :banana: ;)

OK...so it's alot, but it's worth it :refuck:


RE: buying laptop by user2319 on 05-21-2004 at 06:55 PM

@gigablade: <_< buy one yourself then :P
