So when I graduated highschool my Grandpa and my Grandma (in spirit) gave me 2000 for a computer for college, it was something my Grandma always wanted to give me but my parents never let them so I saved the money until now...

Nice looking PC
Upgrade to a 7200rpm drive though and keep the one that comes with it for backup.
I just did this..got a 7200 rpm drive and it tottally owns the 5400 that came stock with mine.
the 1GB stick of ram also helped a little but not nearly as much as upping the harddrive up.

I'm really excited. I really want to play with the GPS
a RAM upgrade will likely happen, dont know quite when but its cool.
Never. if I am going to leave it in the car it will be locked in the trunk.

How long til he leaves the laptop laying around in his car and it gets ripped off?
