Hello 02escape. If you decide to visit australia, i can imagine that latan , tribby or escapedtroy will make you feel welcome. Greetings escapedtroy. Your ' bladerunner' sidesteps have me fascinated. I will pay my service tech in advance, so that he can order them. Then when they are fitted it will only be the labor fee.
Not trading in the escape, so i decided to update my current accessories. Sidesteps can be the first project, and then those " Lightforce HID 240" spotties will be the last. Sorry to go off topic here. I recently visited the Harvey Norman store at a suburban branch. This ' Hardly Normal' retail outlet had the latest " Toshiba Qosmio" laptop with the 18 inch screen on display.
:drool: Did not expect it to be there. The inner self had reactions of ' Oh! Stop it! ' It appears to have respectable specifications. Must admit it's a pity why toshiba did not include the ' Blu Ray' technology on this laptop. That flame design on lid seems a bit overbearing. The overall shape is quite pleasant. But the stunning feature would be that 18 inch screen. I am not purchasing it, as i don't wish to be skinned alive by the opposite gender. Computer technology is constantly changing. I think the price for it is about $ 3,445.00.
Anyway would rather re-configure my escape accessories. But have to admit, i get rather flustered when new lappy models are released with advanced specs. My current toshiba satellite pro P100 has one 100gb hard drive. The 18 inch screen Qosmio, has two hard drives of 250gb each which equals storage of 500gb. YUM! :drool: Toshiba Pro P100 has a 128mb video memory card by Nvidea. This new Qosmio has a nvidea video card with 512 mb of video memory. :roll: :drool: My satellite Pro has system memory of 1.50gb which is its maximum.
The 18 inch screen Qosmio beast, has a maximum system memory of 4gb. TASTY! :drool: Mine has a 1.8ghz cpu. The Qosmio cpu is 2.0 ghz. As regards the cpu upgrade, i am not sure if it makes a difference.
