NEW Acer 5920-6864 Laptop 3GB Ram Dual Core Notebook PC - eBay (item 320248323608 end time May-10-08 11:47:56 PDT)

I plan on throwing in more ram and maybe a bigger hard drive.


Do you think its a bad idea to install ubuntu on this?

[Xav]

No - after all, Ubuntu is similar to Windows! Ha ha!

Are you sure there's room in the case for more RAM or another hard drive?

[phpforfun]

not another hard drive, just a better one, and it can hold 4gb of ram.

Seems like a nice laptop, and yes, installing Ubuntu and riding yourself of any Microsoft crapware is never a bad idea.

[phpforfun]

ok :) I will do that then

I also just signed up for vbulletin, httpL//forums.analyzethathost.com

working on the template, I cant get it to work like I want $*&*()@%*

[John]

I hate vBulletin templates.

[phpforfun]

I hate making them and editing them, same for myspace layouts. lol

I might just by one to save time..

It seems pretty good, but I would never buy that.... the specs are quite low for my needs.

[Xav]

I wouldn't buy it either, as I know that phpforfun's previously owned it...

[Acheron]

I own the 5920G and it rides rather well.Looks good as far as i can tell.

[Xav]

What's the specs?

Like I said, upgrade the hard drive, add another gig of ram, and its set!
