Very capable for most common tasks. Plays DVDs very well and the screen is gorgeous. You might be able to land a 600x or 390x with a PIII in this range too.
The biggest thing I want that I can't do with my 560Z is playing mpeg4 encoded videos. I capture videos from my VCR and encode them myself. I would like to take some of theses with me at times to show people. That takes about a 500 or 600 MHz cpu do play smoothly. Since laptops are somewhat performance compromised as compared to desktop PCs, it might need a bit more. Other than that capability, my 560Z serves me pretty well. A larger screen than the 560Z's 800 by 600 would be a plus. I also want a bigger hard drive, but I can do that to the 560Z.

p.s. I am intentionally not cutting the quote at the top of this message at all. My previous quotes have not worked well and this is a test.

Then you would probably do well with a 390x or 600x, both of which you can get with a 500Mhz PIII, the 600x you can get with as fast as a 650Mhz PIII. They both have the crappy mediamagic video chip so gaming is out of the question but most everything else should work wonderfully on either machine.

You do realize that this thread is a decade old?

Please start your own...

This has to be the oldest necro thread I have read on the TPF.

That being said, it was good read and some of the prices you guys paid seemed absurdly high. Until I looked at the post dates.

It doubles my old record of 5 years. And I have the original recovery CDs somewhere.
