funny isn't it, we've had toshiba's here at work for ten years and f**k hate them. We are moving to the Thinkpads - well about two thirds of the way through the fleet and think they are the duck nuts.
So only about 7 months to go and we will get rid of our last one!!!!
I would love $10 for each tecra and TE series toshy I've sent back for repairs.
If you've had good stories with them then you will obviously have a very different standpoint! Me.. if I was given one I'd straight away sell it! |

lol, thread already happening elsewhere.
But anywho, I have 2 computers a laptop and a PC.
One is a DELL inspiron 6000, Umm just the usual, 1.73Ghz Intel Centrino 512 mb RAM etc etc
The PC is an ACER... Just the really base model when i got it 2 years ago, think its ready for an update... Once i get a damn car.... BUT its a 2.8Ghz Celeron, 512 Mb RAM 80Gig HDD just got a graphics card, nothing flash...
Upgrades for that to come would only be to get a new intel CPU and maybe a DVD burner/player. Got an LCD monitor with speakers which works wonders with space!!!! (but players are really rare lol) |

I just got a dell inspirion 9300
1.86GHz Centrino, 1 Gig RAM, 80G HDD - but the main reason I bought it for was the 17" monitor, awesome for watching movies on the go. I work away)
My home computer is an Athlon 2.4GHz. Nothing special, does the job when I cant be fukt getting the lappy out. |

what type of cooling have you got on your 2.6 kizzer to get it to 3.2?.....I have only been able to go as far as 3.01GHz....
after reading a bit more I see you have the typhoon thing.......how close does it come to your PSU inside your case? |

| They are quite big but it depends on your motherboard if it will fit or whether it will foul on a component. It will fit in any case. |
