Ok. I just placed an order for my selected piece HP 5310m, for 620€, covered by 5y warranty. Let see, I consider it to be a good offer and these are the last mohicans. ;)

If I could get my hands on Dell M301Z in some stronger configuration, I would consider these too. But AMD K325 is about the same power like computer in my job = weak!

Good buy, methinks. Let us know if it works well.

There was something from Zalman, let see, it was this one. With potenciometr or resistor it helped me few times. :)

(As "system cooler")

@Kalah
I will, now having it at home, pensively staring on it. Preparing disc clone, then I will run it. :D
(Gosh, for that prize five yrs warranty, I still can't believe it. As well not the fact the HP has finished this model after so short time. Marketing reasons I hope.. )

Edit:
Ordered Hitachi Z7K320, hope it will be better than the original one ..powerful vibrator. Also used rmclock to underclock the CPU. ;)

My new laptop is here. 1920 x 1080 on a 17,3'' screen takes some getting used to... and glasses. But reducing it would be admitting defeat to the new and fancy.

Personally I hate glasses! I'm not seeing good without them but with much better joy :D

In my case I will need reduction from display port to dvi-d. And a sleeve or samsonite bag with strap, or some better. These will wait however, I'm not a Rockefeller.

There is another funny note, and that my notebook cost almost the same prize without extended warranty like my SE Vivaz with all necessary addons - ie mostly software, QuickOffice, Resco, Xplorer, PDF Reader, bt ear bud, unused invisible shield complete.

Also got my pc, and a 23'' screen.

Got some problems with it already. I use to play Team Fortress 2. But after i installed some new drivers every game started to lag. Except the other games like Might and Magic and Warcraft 3.

A friend of mine will help me with it Monday.

Hint: let other people test new drives for a few months and only then install them yourself. Google is your friend (when it comes to searches, not spying on you while you take a dump in your outdoor toilet).

Easiest solution is to go back to the old drivers.
