An MV8000! Now my laptop feels light!



Good luck finding a laptop. One thing to beware of, I bought a Dell Inspiron 531s desktop recently (scratch & dent) with great specs at a great price. I immediately FDISK and Formatted it to kill Vista. I relaoded it with XP. Dell not only claimed the XP chipset, NIC, and soundcard drivers were not available for XP, they voided the freaking warranty on that machine. I found the drivers on www.experts-exchange.com but the warranty on my machine is still kaput. I have thought about getting a recent model laptop with Vista on it and doing the same to it, because a laptop with a high-end dual core chip and 4 GB RAM (3.25 really due to 32bit OS limitation) would really kick ass as a portable gigging machine, but I don't know if it will be possible to find all the necessary XP drivers for it as MS and Dell are trying to squeeze XP out of the market...
