Sounds a little high for that system.. maybe you should shop around. There are 2.0Ghz Dothan chips 2mb cache 400mhz fsb now. Any system like this I speced out was ~$3000

It was a dell business laptop. Precision something. 1.7ghz Dothan, 2GB ram, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 4x dvd burner, 15.4" WUXGA display, 3 year full service or whatever, 40GB secondary harddrive, extra 9 cell batt, some Nvidea 128MB GPU.

How did you spec out a laptop with 2GB of ram and WUXGA resolution to be 3000$?

JBuilder likey a lot of memory. I'd say 1GB minimum. A nice processor is nice too though. 😉

I'm a developer and I'm still running on an A21m thinkpad. 800MHz and 384MB memory baby!

Should be getting my T41 in a few weeks.

T41's are old, I am runing my new T42 right now.

Theres no way that laptop should EVER cost $6000
