Chevy350TPI

Only if you Banks Power that powerstroke

Well, it's either that P100 or ... http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=e...rt=3411#spectop I guess.

So my guess is that it'll be similar to this 2.00GHz Pentium 4 machine I'm on now then. Sounds good to me. When we're talking to multiple things at once ... is that just what programs are open at one time type of thing? Most I'll be doing is likely have the antivirus running, an IM program going, browsing the internet, listening to music, and typing something up in Word.

And the SI logo is perfect for the corners/bottom of windows, I might add.

Absolutely. Now you know why there is no Ology Audio forum here.

White, silver, and blue. When I think SI I immediately think of white and a really nice blue.

Odd indeed.

You guys didn't get a copy in your e-mail inbox? Check the spam folder? Hmmm. It would've been sent to whatever e-mail you guys registered with. And you'll also have to have the "receive e-mail from administrator" option checked off in your user control panel.

Love those painted grilles - they look awesome.

I see that the T2300 is basically equal to 1.66GHz ... is this correct? Is that significantly slower than my 2.00GHz w/ 512MB RAM desktop? I really don't want something much slower than this desktop (it's not slow for me, but my other computer in the house is only a 1.48Ghz w/ 256MB RAM and I can't deal with it at all). FutureShop has that Toshiba for $1899 right now, it's listed on Toshiba's site for $1999 ... hopefully the meathead at the shop will price match it - I walk real fast.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the forum Ron! I'll probably get in touch with you regardng pricing and to see if there's a dealer in my area in the near future

Dell? That's the only one I'd consider buying.

I'd only be able to afford a 12" Powerbook or a 14" iBook. I'm just not a huge Apple fan either. I know they're good products and nearly everyone who has one really likes what they bought. It's just not me though.

I really like that one ... Regarding the memory ... is more better? Or is there a limit where a computer can only handle so much before it actually starts to hurt performance ... if you understand what I'm trying to say. I'd definitely pay $80 to get that extra 512MB to bring the total to 1GB, even if the difference isn't *that* huge. What does that T2300 equate to in GHz? Is that conversion roughly possible? I'm guessing T2300 = 1.73GHz and the T2400 = 1.86GHz? Just a guess though I really could get by with Nero, an antivirus program, Ares, Azureus, program for my iPod, Firefox, MSN Messenger, Simplecenter (for my Omnifi), Word, Excel, and Solitaire I'll have to get a price quote Tuesday for that Toshiba from a local computer store. Hopefully they'll just quote me $2000 + tax ... yay, $280 in tax. If they want to jack the price up I'll just get it from the Toshiba site. Same thing they'll probably do anyway, unless they have a distributor they deal with. Really appreciate the help guys!

I'd be upgrading in three or four years, if that makes any difference. This sounds retarded, but if I went with a cheaper 17" laptop, I'd have money to run a 17" screen as well - but that really doesn't sound worth it though, right? I can't believe the price jump between 1.73GHz and 1.86GHz is $500. Now I'm just really confused. I see what you guys are saying ... this seems to fit your needs based on what you said, going with a smaller screen might be better for you, a cheaper 17" laptop would work just as well as the more expensive ones for what you'll be using it for ... etc. I understand that computer technology advances very quickly ... but I just want something that's "awesome" now, and something I won't be kicking the chit out of in a year or two because it sucks so bad ... if it's considered "good" at that time, that's all that matters. Actually, that really doesn't make any sense, but whatever. I don't know, I was just really set on a 17" screen with an 80+ GB harddrive, minimum 1.86GHz, and hopefully 1 GB memory. Nearly all of my friends/co-workers use Dell, and I really, really never want to own a piece of chit like that. I know nothing about computers, but I know when something sucks.

Good 'ole Rod Farva.

I'm not worried about how portable this thing is. I can deal with packing around 10lbs and a slightly larger footprint notebook. If I went 15.4", I'd go with something like this: http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=e...rt=3431#spectop http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=e...rt=4530#spectop I don't know, it just seems as though I'm pretty sold on a 17" screen A guy at work has a small screen ... must be 14" I'd imagine - when he's at his desk he runs it through a 17" screen. I don't want to be doing that either. If I was going to do that, I'd just get a bigger screen on the laptop in the first place.

Welcome to SSA!

Typing documents, listening to music, browsing the internet ... etc. No games, no video editing. It'll be plugged in most of the time I'd imagine. You guys are right, definitely looking for a desktop replacement basically. Something I can pack around. Scratch the HP's then.

Resort to drinking it straight then. It's good for you.

Team Ramrod.

Remember when I was interested in learning about them ... looking to purchase probably March or April. Need to get a real good idea of what I'll be getting now. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_in...36&pfp=compare& http://www.compusa.com/products/product_in...05&pfp=compare& http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=e...rt=3411#spectop I've got roughly $1650 USD for a nice deposit on one right now, so somewhere in there would be great ... give or take a couple bills. The Sony is probably a little too expensive. Remember, I don't know computers. Only thing I really want is a 17" screen. I don't know the whole fudgein' deal with the gigahertz bullchit, the RAM crap, so on and so forth. Computer I'm using now is 2.00 ghz and 512MB RAM ... and I wouldn't like to deal with anything slower. Opinions, suggestions. The Toshiba above is looking pretty damn nice. This Toshiba looks great, but I don't understand the gobblygook T2300 crap - http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=e...rt=3411#spectop (also with this one, how much is it to "expand" the memory, is it worth it, how much would you go for, anything else needed, would there be a huge difference ...) Team Ramrod.

That's *exactly* what we thought might come of this

Well, Winamp probably didn't read my mind. But anyway. Carry on.

Winamp read my mind ... just switched to 'Gin and Juice'
