Our company has relied on Dell and Dell Refurbs for our needs, both
workstation and server. We've not been disappointed yet.
I purchased a Dell refurbished laptop in August for $600 off list and
have been happier than a pig in mud! Price-wise, I couldn't build my
own workstation for as little as I can buy one through them.
As for technology, get the most recent CPU you can afford, minimum of
2GB of RAM.

Hi Denys & Olav :)
I definitely second Denys comments... I am now in the process of
slowly
collecting info and data on selection of a new Laptop for the house as
my
HP Pavillion N5190 is not able to realistically support XP of any
flavor... let alone Vista or whatever it is being called today...
So, at the risk of really starting a holy war... other than Macs
anyone
want to make recommendations on features I should be looking for? CPU
model? Manufacturer? I must admit that I am a bit biased against HP and
Panasonic... The HP bias is because of the construction of the N5190
didn't
live up to my expectations... so not a hard and fast bias..
So let the "discussion" begin ... hehehe

Can the response involve pyrotechnic compounds?
Seriously, a quick search at www.compaq.com shows that the Presario 5248
is
only supported under Windows Me, 98 and 95. There is no mention of
Windows
NT, 2000 or XP so I think you do not want to install any of these on
this
PC.
The 5248 has a 400MHz AMD-K6 with 64MB of slow RAM for a maximum of
384MB.
This is woefully inadequate for W2K or WXP.

PC experts:
I am trying to install either w2k or wxp on a oldish PC Compaq Presario
5248 with AMD.
The reason is that the system just froze when booting up.
The problem is the system will not go past the identify of hardware.
Any suggestions ?
Olav.
