[Sidebyte]

I have 3, an HP DV7, Compaq and a Lenovo, all Intel 2.0 amd 4 gig ram.
The only comment I offer is: If you buy an HP, or Compaq spend a couple days just stripping out all the "garbage" the HP and Norton places on the self loading O/S. After I stripped all the unnecessary trash off the hard drive, defragged and cleaned the registry it runs great even with Vista.
