wait for a 750$ coupon or 40% off coupon and then configure one of those.


that is, unless you already have

in that case...i hope that's not the best you can do, i do not, however, know what the highest video card offered for that system...

I just got a new laptop off ebay, came today. It's a Gateway 4530GZ if you search you can find quite a few of them available, new in sealed box. Got mine for $775 + $50 s/h. It's got P4M 725 (1.6ghz), 60gb HD, DVD R/W, 512m Ram, built in wireless, 15" screen....
Perfect for my needs, I won't be gaming on it or watching movies so I prefer normal screen to wide one. Also this is very thin and light, good looking too.

peace.
