    Thinkpad Z61t for $539.10

    JustIntox: Make sure you are getting what you want. I don't mind having to lug this larger thing around, especially after I upgraded to the 7 cell. I am no expert on the value difference here of course. I've bought too many things just for them being a good deal and not fit for...

    Thinkpad Z61t for $539.10

    Ok - good reply! That leads me more towards taking this one... I had a thinkpad before and it lasted forever. I want to put the Vista Home Premium on this though, which is a 50 dollar upgrade. In doing so, is the $80 memory upgrade to 2GB worthwhile? Also, this includes...

    Thinkpad Z61t for $539.10

    I'm definately in the market for a new laptop ($450-650). I tried comparing this against Dell on a couple models and it doesn't look to be that great of a deal. How does this proc compare to a AMD TurionTM 64x2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-56 (1.80GHz 512K). Dell small biz...

    Value of this system?

    Thanks for everyones reply. Sounds like $200 is about right on the computer, so I'll tell her $100 is appropriate. On the new computer issue, the reason I thought building was worse than buying is because I don't want to liability of getting the dual video with high resolution for...

    CPU-Z and Orthos read different CPU speed?

    Thanks for utility links, temps seem fine. It keeps running Orthos on these settings, but at 40 minutes it finally made a rounding error. System did not crash. Is it normal for an error to eventually occur on Orthos? Does anyone know a good place to find BIOS settings for various...
