Although I take it if I bought a moderately priced one I wouldn't be able to slap a gayforce 4 into it to replace the intel integrated gfx card? I can see how dells would be fragile given that people can build custom jobbies.

It amazes me how quickly I fell behind being "in the know" for hardware.


No. Do not buy a laptop that you plan to upgrade. It's a one shot deal, so make it count. Get one with a decent radeon or NVidia-go built on. Do not buy a Celeron model, no matter how tempting their prices are. Pentium 4-M is faster then the Athlon based laptops, but if Battery life is ever going to be an issue for you, you get more from Athlon based (about 3 and a half hours) then Intel based (about 2 hours).
