This system shall serve as a mobile platform for a PC servicing business I'll be starting soon, which is what I planned when I bought it. A fast processor, integrated modem, floppy, and NIC, adequate hard drive space, and USB 2.0 - all of which should prove useful for providing support, either for finding updates and putting them on a CD, or else plugging in an external drive.

The graphics do share the system RAM, and can use up to 64MB. Why I don't know - with so little bandwidth, accessing 64MB of textures would slow any game to the point of being a slow slideshow. Probably just a marketing thing. Or maybe for CAD programs? Don't know; either way, I've set it to 16MB of RAM, the minimum that BIOS will allow, thus freeing up more RAM for OS use.
However, the chip is still good for light gaming - it can handle Half Life at 1024x768, though this is without any antialiasing. In my experience, something on the level of a Geforce 3 or higher (preferably GF4 Ti4200 or better) is needed to give good FSAA performance at decent resolutions.

There's not really a whole lot to take pictures of here, at least not until something in the laptop goes seriously wrong and requires surgery.


There's the laptop, as you may have deduced.
