Laptop Computer Advice

I run one of these.

My secondary laptop is a IBM Thinkpad 770X, PII-300 with 320MB RAM and an 8.1GB HD with DVD-ROM.

It has MPEG decoders in hardware, so Fight Club's intro comes out very slick on DVD. I use the Fight Club introduction to test DVD players, since it is the most demanding intro I have seen.

Currently I am running Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 3 on it. Up until I got my current ThinkPad, I used this laptop as a daily work machine for database development. I even ran XP Pro on it for a while.

It worked excellently, due to the 320MB RAM. I imagine that Windows 98 would work just as well.
