OK sorry for the paste job but which notebook is a better for general purpose use price is equal?..... Im unsure which chipset is used on the compaq I am also not certain which would have better video performance...help me pick which is best please.

Prices??

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

Prices are the same....$2499 can......main thing Im unsure of is which has the best chipset and video solution. I think the compaq 900 with athlon1700+ is faster but need more info to make decision ...can anyone help??

If you want top notch video go with the Radeon 7500 64 neg or the gforce 4 to go 64 meg.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.
