That particular piece of kit comes with a firewall preinstalled. It is known to filter out boobies. Be very careful. :wink:

Out of curiosity, why this particular one?

And it could support Vista, but in. . . what is Microsoft calling it. . . legacy mode or something like that.

I'm still not enitrely sold on CoreDuo. . . I'd be more prone to wait until the next generation.

I like the ECS 600, but it is 'spensive (~$1000 U.S. for the chasis. I think DVD and wireless come with) ECS G420 is CoreDuo version. Your HP has slightly better graphics. . .

All in all it seems to be the cusp of leading edge technolog without having to go Dell XMS / Alienware / Voodoo PC route.

First Q. Do you need dual core? I did not see anything that it is widescreen. Whatever laptop you get buy widescreen I have it on my Compaq. I you looked at any of the Gateway's?
