Ok thanks to Colbey for some good pricing on the HP stuff, and to Chris for some advise as well. Ended up with a Sony VAIO 15.4" with T7500CPU, 2G RAM, 200GB hard drive and GeForce8400 with 512M video, wireless/Bluetooth and camera for $1600 delivered.
1) Can you guys tell me my next step for getting internet and wireless sorted at home? ie I assume I need some sort of wireless router modem thingy to transmit the wi fi stuff to the lappy. I want to organise this while I am waiting on the Laptop to arrive. 2) Work pays for my home phone and will pay for internet as well. Currently we have the home phone with AAPT and it would be nice to bundle the home phone and internet with one provider. Whats AAPT broadband packages like or better question what sort of specs should I look at for a broadband service. Just net surfing, downloading music and eventually I'll get into downloading movies etc I guess. I know I'm too old for this shit |

Most ISPs have similar pricing/packages, shop around, but maybe go for a 2mps link with say 5gb download limit. That sounds like a lot, but ISPs sting you for browsing, emails and any audio/video streaming you do also gets added to your downloads so you soon use that 5gb up. |

THREAD HIJACK --------------------------------- Hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade the ram in my desktop pc. Spec is: ASUS P5QC M/Board Intel 2.7Ghz Dual Core CPU NVIDIA Geforce 9600GT My question is, am I limited to how much memory I can install? O/S is XP Pro. And is DDR3 better than DDR2? Cheers, Josh

for your main board:
Maximum Memory: 8 GB using DDR3 (with release of 4GB modules) 16 GB using DDR2 Expansion: 4 Sockets for DDR2 2 Sockets for DDR3 As to whether you go DDR2 or 3 it depends what your going to do. If your sticking with 32bit windows xp then go for 4GB of DDR3. If your going to upgrade to 64 bit then 8GB of DDR3 would be nice, but expensive as 4GB sticks of RAM are hard to find. For alot less you could easily pickup 8 GB of DDR2 in 2GB sticks.

Will probably upgrade to Windows 7 next year, so with the DDR3, I notice there's 1333 & 1600... which can/should I use? Price doesnt worry me, so whatever is better really.

Not really, don't have the time. It's mainly for graphic design and print.
