    Wait for the 8" and 9" versions then!
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but XP can only utilise a maximum of 2gb of Ram memory. Vista cab take 8 gb I was told. That extra gig of ram running XP may be a waste.

    I'm pretty sure the 32-bit versions of XP (which most are) can handle up to 4Gb. 64-bit versions can go a lot higher.

    It depends a lot on your motherboard as well.
  • this is what I bought and got on monday from Ireland. Its a great laptop. Bought a case also. Just waiting for o2 internet setup now.:rotfl: :T :beer:
