Actually the Ferrari 3400 has a real benefit over your 3200, the 3400 has a 90nm CPU -- which means cooler and longer battery life. If I were to buy an AMD64 laptop today I'd get the Ferrari 3400. If not that one, then probably the Averatec 6240 (MSI made). If I wanted the largest, work horse laptop around I'd get the HP zv5000z. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
