Hi,

Note, The C7-M Series Mini-Laptops don't seem to read more than 1Gb of Ram, using DDR2-667 SoDimms or DDR2-800, I tried three different ones, none read more than 1GB of Ram. Has anyone else found this problem, am using good ram, Hynix.

Regards

Jamie

scratch that.

i went out to best buy, and got to play with one as soon as it was set out (the employees were holding it and the still wrapped power cord when i got there), and it's just plain unusably slow. the 1.2ghz cpu is flatly insufficient. it was pegged under any sort of activity. maybe ditching vista for xp would help, but... i doubt it.

it was bad enough that i didn't even get to do any sort of testing of the video chipset capabilities.

i would say it was slightly (and only slightly) better than my p3 700 with 256mb ram. seriously. it was bad. made me long for my mom's 900ha!
