So finally I got it. Now this should help, make the desert a tad more bearable.

I got a Toshiba Satellite. P4 3.4ghz/HT, 512MB DDR 400MHZ RAM, dedicated AGP 128MB DDR GeForceFX Go 5700, 80 gig HD, wireless and bluetooth on board, plus it came with a remote, and a multiformat DVD Burner, with 17in widescreen.

Well, game mostly. I already sent forward a rack server and router/switch. We have 20 people already configured for our LAN when we get over there. I will be 21 and there are about 8 others I know that want to join in. I am also thinking of actually making some content for C&M.net. :)

That thing is lightyears ahead of my computer. I think you made a great choice going with the Toshiba over the HP or Sony. You'll probably have one of the best computers in the country, not many people can say that. :o

I would never go with Sony. Sony's are overpriced. The Vaio line has reliable systems I know for sure, but after careful pricing and shopping around I found them to be hundreds more than comparable systems from othr manufacturers. I didn't go with HP/Compaq (Why the hell doesn't HP stop making Compaqs....) because the don't have too many with decent video graphics. Most are coming with the new Radeon IGP(integrated Radeons instead of those off brand integrated) and I do not know how efficient they are, not too mention I do not want to sacrifice system memory for video memory. Toshiba seemed the best bet. Almost every Toshiba I looked at came with more bells and whistles than I could have dreamed off and almost everyone has dedicated GeForceFX Go's. I could have gone alot cheaper with only a 64MB dedicated video card and no DVD burner, but seeing as how this is my Christmas and B-Day present for the year to come I decided to splurge. :D
