Its a nice laptop I have one, but i got the top of the line model. With the ML-37 and 100GB drive, I actually upgraded the hard drive to 100GB 7200RPM and the RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB of DDR 400. I am selling mine for cheap if you PM me.



Acer Ferrari Laptop specs are below, I have swapped
out the Hard Drive with a 100GB highspeed 7200RPM hard drive
with 8MB cache and I put in 2GB of highspeed DDR 400 RAM which
meant I had to replace the exsisting slow 1GB of standard RAM the
laptop came with.
