the emachine version of this lappy had a 60g hd, and a crappier screen...oh, and cost $50 more. LOL but basically it is the same system. which is good, because it got Great reviews. I was kind of looking at the 3400+ version as it had 1g of memory and ofcourse the extra 200mhx, but they downgraded the videocard. Give me a break.

Greg: You might want to look into a program called Speedswitch XP. It may work on the A64 but it may not. It helps get you the maximum battery life. I found it to be better than Microsoft's implementation of the technology. Here's the website: http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/index.html

Have you tryed newer games on it yet? If I opt to buy another new laptop to replace my old one, I'd want one capable of playing modern games. There are times when that'd come in handy.
What's wrong with emachines really?Nice, but Emachines/Gateway
