>        ... 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.
