I checked out the PCMCIA and really don't have a problem with that. What I would like to know : 1) Has anyone heard anything good/bad about either. 2) The Dell uses either a Cirrus CLGD7543 or Neomagic NM2070 video chip. Is this supported? What type of resolution can I expect? 3) The IBM uses a Trident CYBER9320 or CYBER9385. Is this supported? What type of resolution can I expect? Thanks for your time, and hopefully I'll be loading one of them up soon! Tuc/TTSG -- Scott J.
