There's a Hardware compatibility lookup tool available: http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware The latest linux mint is code name "Nadia" Here's a list of what people are reporting worked perfectly for them. Remember, you get what you pay for, this info is what it is: Video card AMD...

Great links! I didn't know about the Lenovo, Fabulous specs! could be better looking though. The dell looks great too. Great youtube links making fun of the Iphone, I laughed.. And your link about North Korea is sad, Auschwitz like for sure. I know a missionary that wanted to give away food...

Need advice finding a Windows Laptop for a Graphic Artist running Adobe CS5 Apple is out of the question for a few reasons. I've heard good things about Dell XPS laptop line, I like the specs for Toshiba Qosmio but I've heard Toshiba has a lot of support issues with Plastic parts and the...

Thank you for the link to the PCI controller on MacMall. It's definately something I should consider. $30 is a lot lower then I could find at other sites. www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail~dpno~115192~Action~ACCESSORIES.ASP Any other suggestions on a hardware solution? Thanks for the...

I wouldn't recommend a Mac for video art. As I said before, my wife went to a large computer lab filled with MAC's running Adobe Premier, Photoshop etc. The machines often errored, froze and sometimes required hard reboots. I was unimpressed with the interface, the capabilities and...

Pandaren, I'm also interested in a new video production set up for my wife. She's an artist and wants to do more with Video art, video editing and some 2D graphic programs. (Thank you for the tip on video cards.) I'm interested in understanding why you said to stay away from Pentium 4's...
