Simple..more processor more power + faster processor more power.

SATA + PATA should not be a problem but having two drives would mean fast battery drain. > 3. 1X2GB SDRAM > 4. 9 cell Li-ion bettery > 5. 8X DVD RW > 6. 6MB L2 Cache with 800MHz FSB This all looks okay. > 7. blue tooth > 8. wi-fi etc. > > Which audio/video, wireless network cards are the best with Linux ? Which wireless card?

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this ..... great, spread the message. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
