Yes, I saw your comments finally on X1000forums --there are so many posts over there I can't check it everyday as the new posts aren't marked if you don't read them all the first time in.
Yes, there is a limit on Cnet for posts but that is when everyone replies to the message directly above it.
You can get around this by replying to the top message or any one but the one at the bottom of the thread.
I did see you got 64mb dedicated video RAM and the 14.1" LCD so you should be happy with that (with the decreased weight) if you don't watch widescreen DVD's a lot on the notebook.
Hey, just wanted to wrap things up. They closed that other thread for some reason. Is there a cap on the amount of replies a thread can have?
Anyway, I didn't pay too much at all over 2000. I got an educational discount, which was cool, and everything else I wanted.
This notebook will definitely gets its use by 2006-07. Since I've never been one to keep on top of the ball in regards to computers, I'm sure it will still get a lot of use even when the 64 chips come out, and much past Longhorn. Remember, I'm still using Windows 98!
I'm stoked, and I can't wait for it to get here. They said expect it by next weekend.
Thanks again,
