criteria:

hd: 40 gig or higher
processor: pent3 or higher. Must be pent, no amd
graphics card: 32 mb
OS: XP home
dvd rom
usb port

Anybody know the cheapest deal I can get for something like this?

Asking for a pentium instead of AMD will push the price up by a bit.

**Nicholas D. Wolfwood** · 10-20-2002, 06:25 PM

but asking for AMD results in a pile o cow plop.

Where'd you get that idea? AMD is perfectly fine in my PC, in fact benchmarks show it's a better CPU for multimedia and games

Yeah, AMD is the best processor manufacturer. Pentium gets more unreliable with every processor release.

AMD processors, especially the Duron, XP Athlon and Thunderbirds, are extremely stable, even at high clockspeed and after overclocking.

they also have a tendency to overheat.

Anyway, this topic ain't about arguing over AMD and pentium. Goddamn, they've got fanboys for everything these days. I asked a question, and have yet to see any answer.

40 GB is a HUGE hard drive for a laptop. You can get it, but you'll pay for it.

My dad's laptop has 48 GB

But I'm in Europe too, so I can't help much
