I'm rather set on an AMD Turion CPU, so unless you guys have anything against them, I'm gonna go with that CPU for sure...
Graphics I'm not too picky about just as long as it's decent or rather good.
There's still one more slot in the ibuypower notebook, so I can upgrade to 2gb if I need to...
I'm thinkin' I'm gonna go with the ibuypower notebook, but I'm not sure... it's blue
Any input/feedback would be appreciated
Thanks!
