**rambo** · 10-10-2003, 04:55 AM

Ive decided that while i love my desktop, and it's brand new, its still to archaic, and im doing more and more back and forth recently. I wanna custom config my notebook, any decent sites for it? The only ones i find are ones that dont have internal batteries. Any help is awesome.

To and fro,
Rambo

Heh, its allright mass,
No i dont have the laptop yet, i want to be able to pick and choose my parts, kinda like i did with my pc.

**Football_Bill** · 10-10-2003, 09:10 AM

It is hard to pick and chose all parts, but Dell seems to be the most configurable for laptops. Winbook used to be real good, but their prices have jumped a lot in the last year.

dells are good man - i have an ibm thinkpad right now - it's pretty decent, altho i still prefer my old dell...

check out dell.com to see if they have what you need

***Sicilian30*** · 10-10-2003, 05:15 PM

Dude go get a Dell!

**KeyMastur** · 10-10-2003, 05:17 PM

fuck a dell. www.alienware.com if you've got the cash.

**KeyMastur** · 10-10-2003, 05:19 PM

as for your desktop, you can sell it as a whole, or do what i do - scrap it for parts and put it on Ebay.

**rambo** · 10-10-2003, 05:24 PM

However AW uses all quality parts, name brands, high end hardware, which in my opinion is outdated in 3 months anyways, but they do look nice. I personally don't like AMD processors, I have had nothing but problems with them in the past and got burned many many times with them. Literally in fact, the biggest problem that I run into, is AMD Processor run extremely hot, and burn up so quickly when they overheat just a tiny bit. Pentiums on the hand I find do not run as hot and can withstand ALITTLE overheating.
I am just waiting for my ole AMD to go bad in my home puter, so that I can have an excuse to go out and buy a 3.0 P4. Okay so shoot me, I have an AMD, but it was free so I had to take it. Besides that would be the only way you would get me to use AMD. Just my opinion.

Yeah, i always make sure i have double fans in all my pcs, the biggest problem nowadays is overheating. Those damn titanium apples are like nerd porn though...if they werent so overpriced and incompatible, i would dry hump one. They just look so damn good

I'm with you on this one. I hate the AMD's. I'm still runnin a P III 933 with 448 RAM in my machine and it runs way faster than my dad's who opted for the AMD 1600 XP chip - believe it runs at 1.4, with 256 MB RAM. Plus I feel that it was that chip that kept making his computer crash and not any of the software I installed on his system. I buy nothing but Intel P's for myself.
