    that's about the best you'll get for the cash. it's a decent midrange compie, easily portable, but don't expect to do much gaming or lots of intensive tasks with any speed.

    Looks ok to me. I don't have a problem with the AMD chip either. I would even say that AMD is better than intel.

    yet another thread teleported out of 'All Other Topics' forum

    @IM1 - can you stop doing this and start threads in the correct forums, this is highly annoying...

    some games do work fine with onboard graphics. just not the latest games.

    that second one has too little memory (256MB)
