A new toy

Been a pretty busy week and here in Canada we have a long weekend (still can't remember what we get the day off for but hey, who's to argue). I picked up a Compaq Presario R4000 yesterday in light of needed something to take with me to PDC and the MVP Summit coming up in September. I was originally going to get a different model but this one just looked that much better. The Athlon 64 processor and an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M graphics card just blows away the lightweight Centrinos IMHO. It's a great machine for development as well as presentations so I'll be blogging like a madman with it down at PDC (and getting my kicks with a few rounds of Unreal Tournament 2005). Anyways, back to the grind...

Bought a R4035CA a few weeks ago at FutureShop. I love that laptop.

The only problem is that i comes with 2x512MB instead of 1x1GB and that you only have access to 1 memory slot. So you can't max it out at 2GB unless you service it :-(

BTW, the drive is faster then what Compaq states.
