Nathan ------------------------------ Nathan, I'm still using my 10 year old Dell. The most RAM it can hold is 385MB. Yet it runs PS 5, Publisher 3, and almost everything else I throw at it. Its 450MhZ Pentium II is only slow when reading The Times online. The pages change gradually. Since I buy a new comp every 10 years, I'll be in the market for a 17" HP laptop next month that runs the new Intel 45nm chipset. I'll still be using my venerable Dell for making up newsletters and doing photo work. I'll be using the HP laptop for online reading mostly and to hide behind when I sleep at meetings.
