... this machine need *at least* one more GB Ram... what a joke...
Two months ago my wife and I decided that it was time for new laptops, out IBM A21Ms had serverd us well. But 667Mhz P3s were a little out dated. Since we get the maximum life out of machine we decided that we would get 2 really nice machines and not have to fool with another upgrade for a couple of years, here is what we got. 2 HP DV9208NRs, we opted for the additional memory ( from 1 to 2 GB ), both are AMD Turion 64 X2s running 1.6 Ghz. Both came with windows vista preinstalled. The first time I booted mine I had an opensuse 10.2 boot dvd in the driver and I opted to boot from it, I completely wiped the harddrive, including the recovery partition, and setup opensuse 10.2. I haven't looked back since. For grins we allowed my wifes to boot into vista, 20 minutes later we got to the first semi-useable desktop, we still had alot of configuration to do. I didn't think I was ever going to get vista to decide which tool to use to connect to my wireless lan. After a half day of playing with vista my wife said put suse 10.2 on it so I can use it. Vista was nothing but a dog on that machine and it should smoke on dual core, 2Gb machine. Just my .50 cents. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
