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.Severian wrote: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.mdbrown wrote:In the sub-$400 range the list gets much smaller. Depends on what you want to do with it too. I have a 770x that I put a 400Mhz PII in and added the DEVA card. 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.
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.
