The game I play is very old. The max memory setting for system memory is 256 MB... lol I run 125 FPS on my current rig because my internet can support much faster.

They got a few different colors to choose from, Im jsut posting the first one I found.
$240...
If it can at least open/run Auto CAD, basic office functions, web, email and my Wolfenstein ET game. Im all about it...
Yes Bill I realize it wont like huge AutoCAD drawings. My PC @ works with 3 GB memory pukes out on a 130MB file...lol
I bought that same one at Office Depot. It was the display model and the last one they had. After I had paid for it, the employees were gettig ready to box it up for me, but couldn't crack the password someone had set in it. I ended up with the next higher model for the discounted price of the display model I paid for. The only difference was more hard drive space (160GB). I like the thing alot, but haven't used it yet for the purpose that I bought it for - tuning the computer in my car. It's small enough to be not in the way while data logging and whatnot and can easily run the programs I need for tuning.

I have a mic/mobilepre and laptop. Once I get it all set up I was going to start a thread and allow people to use it for a nominal fee + shipping.

I struggled with this purchase a bit...
I ended up buying the white Acer Aspire One off tigerdirect for $240. I also bought the upgraded memory so I will have a total of 1.5 GB instead of just 1GB, was $15. Total was $272ish shipped.
On E Bay by Geeksales, they had the slightly better Acer Aspire One. It had a 160 GB HDD anda 6 Cell battery, for 5.5 Hours life. But it was $290... and$12 ship... And I might not of had it in time...
The upside is I can return my unit to tiger for store credit within 30 days if Im not satisfied...

Wow, not even 24 Hrs later and I got my new toy.
Im fairly impressed with the performance loading various programs so far. The builtin webcam has a nice crisp 1.2 MP picture.
Mine arrived without a mark on it. looks absolute flawless/new.
