don't think 256 was the "maximum" I'd be opting for 512 from day 1 .. save messing about with the 256M toss away chip later.
personally I'd stick with toshi / compaq maybe dell or even ibm. Anyone happen to have seen an acer ferrari ?? they're red you know .. does that mean they spray bits of carbon fibre when windows crashes??! <VBG> Cheers Paul Swafford (Manager, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arts Centre) (Level 2/28 Worcester Boulevard, Christchurch, NZ) (ph/fax +64 3 3656480 www.e-caf.com)
