General web surfing and emailing, a bit of light gaming and shifting files around the network and on/off USB sticks and discs; nothing very strenuous. The current laptop is a 2.4Ghz / 256Mb / 40Gb / CDRW without wifi and is beginning to struggle a bit, so I'd be looking for anything that could beat that. Maybe I'll go and have a look round the tip later.tek-monkey said:What sort of spec do you need? Whats it used for?
Sound. Given that the Axses only seems to come with 2Gb, it isn't a dealbreaker in this case, but when I eventually (Ha! 2 years and counting! ) get round to upgrading my aging desktop (2.4Ghz, 512Mb, 80Gb, WD 500Gb external drive, GeForce 4800, Soundblaster 128, spec fans), I shall take it into consideration.shoes said:No its nothing to do with the OS, if you run a machine in 32 bit you cannot see more than 3328 MB of RAM.
If you're running it as a 64 bit system then you're laughing.
Yeah, it steals it at the line with the processor and the larger harddrive, I think. Shame about the 2Gb RAM rather than 4, though. But considering that's nearly twice as much as the total of nearly almost every piece of computing kit I currently own, I don't think it necessarily matters.shoes said:Re the xplora - for the sake of £30 you get a dual core T6400 instead of a netbook processor.... no brainer really.
Or windows 7 RCWookie said:Gah; getting a bit techy for me now I know that on my current laptop (got it in 2004 2ndhand, museum piece anyone?) the video RAM is borrowed from the system RAM, but I was under the impression that they'd miniaturised everything enough so that even laptop GFX had their own RAM chip?
Axses is £348.44 all in, no OS so I shall have to find a WindowsXP disc from somewhere. Still... tempting...
PM me if required, sure I have a license or 2 round here somewhere.Wookie said:Gah; getting a bit techy for me now I know that on my current laptop (got it in 2004 2ndhand, museum piece anyone?) the video RAM is borrowed from the system RAM, but I was under the impression that they'd miniaturised everything enough so that even laptop GFX had their own RAM chip?

if you intend to do any kind of networking, installing xp home on your machine is the last thing you want to do..Wookie said:It's not the license that's a problem, I have an XPHome key on a sticker on the current laptop. It's the install CD... :S
@Shoes: Or that.
