I have a Compaq Presario 900 with 1500+ Athlon. I bought it used off ebay a couple years ago. I upgraded the 20 gb hard drive to 100gb and doubled the ram to 512. It's obviously not a gaming system but just for general use its actually much faster then most people's new pcs. That's because I don't have a bunch of useless garbage running, keep it defragged and malware free, and I replaced the Windows XP Home with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. It always amazes me when I go to work on someones 2.5ghz desktop and it takes 10 seconds just to bring up a context menu. |

I always post from my laptop. Mine's nothing special, just a Compaq with a Sempron processor. But it does what I want it to. |

HH, I hope you got extended warranty with this laptop. It is a must. My laptop kicked the bucket in less than 18 months of usage. Because I had no warranty, I created a 15 lbs paperweight ![]() |

Nope. I'll have to see if it's possible to map one of the less-used/redundant keys to it. ![]() ![]() Originally posted by sandrocklq So I've heard. ![]() |

To get middle button support, you may just need to press both the left and right buttons at the same time. That is what my Dell does for middle button. |

Good luck. Laptops are convenient, but they severely degrade before 2 years of use. :/
I am learning this the hard way. |

Hope you don't travel by air much. Laptops may become prohibited as a carry on. ![]() Never could get used to using a laptop myself. I don't like the keyboard configurations. Fortunately I don't need one, but that M675-PRR looks cool. |

Originally posted by HyperHacker My HP keyboard habitually drops keystrokes (leading to some amusing things, but nothing as bad as Yoro's blunder in my title)... I don't even think this came with a recovery disk (you're supposed to make your own, oh boy), either. Ugh... Oh well, enjoy your new laptop. (PS: I'm pretty sure the keystrokes are my own fault; I have my hands at a really awkward angle, and it tends to come and go based on how I'm sitting and typing) |

It's a Gateway, you say? That's pretty cool. What model is yours? I've got a M675-PRR and a pic to boot.

Remap caps to shift ![]() Congratulations on geting a notebook. How long will it last before it is hacked to the way you want it? |

And it's mine, all mine, muahaha!
Specs here. Unlike some brands, the Gateway restore disc is unencrypted, which meant I could format, install XP Pro, and still get the drivers off it. The screen is crystal clear, making my CRT look like crap. ![]() ![]() Here's a big picture demonstrating my poor photography skills. ![]() |
