I think the 3 hours the Compaq R3240 gets is pretty decent for an Athlon 64 3200. And from what I have seen 3D support is working great if you have an nvidia chip. Having looked at the specs of the 'Ferrari' I personally thought it was a pathetic design to put that name on. They didn't even use the fastest mobile athlon 64, or a video chip with 64bit support (even in windows). And calling something with a 2800 cpu a 3200 model is a great way to confuse (or potentially trick) customers. It sure is pretty though. I guess they got one thing right. Well a multiformat DVD writer might count as getting two things right. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
