good move getting rid of the HP, they run great for about a month, then theyll dog out on ya. ive done nearly everything to make this thing as fast as it was, it just doesnt help. The only thing left to do is get 512 mb ram instead of the 256 it came with, but any money i use to get more ram could have went to dyno tuning or shit even a couple tanks of 93 octane liquid gold, lol.

my brother has a gateway laptop similiar to that one(if not the same). works great. the only problem is that his hands have worn into the paint around the touchpad. makes it look dirty, when its actually the paint wearing away.

he is on it a good 5 hours a day though.

Groovy,... well I'll pay with it for a week, and see.
Something else might catch my eye smile.gif

oh and Alex, this thing comes with 1GB DDR! And 100GB Drive, but its only 4200 RPM
Well still not bad for the price point,...

Ok, what's your thought on this Acer:
