    My New Toy

    Well I just ordered a new laptop for college! Tell me what you guys think. I just wish I had ordered 2 weeks ago cause I would of saved $200 more.

    Dell Inspirion 8600:
    * Intel® Pentium®M Processor 745 (1.8GHz),15.4in WSXGA+
    * Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
    * 1GB DDR SDRAM 2 Dimms
    * 64MB DDR NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX Go5200 AGP 4X Graphics
    * 60GB Hard Drive
    * 4x CD/DVD burner (DVD+RW/+R) including Sonic RecordNow and MyDVD LE
    * Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps)
    * 2 Year Limited Warranty plus 2 Year At-Home Service
    Total:
    $2,218.09 (price includes shipping and tax along with a 15% off coupon)

    EDIT: This is going to be my only computer at college. The rig I have in my signature will stay at home with my brothers.

    Have fun with it.

    Btw did you get the sweet XMS Cl2 RAM?

    And tell us if D3 can play on there, cuase it'd be nice to see if it can play on something as low level as the 5200Go.

    And your bro's are lucky:-D I would sell my rig for cash, lol.

    How can I check to see if I got the XMS C12 Ram? And yeah my brothers are lucky that I'm not taking the rig up with me to college. I figure I won't have enough time to game so I figured they can have it since they will put it to better use than I will.
