    im in the process of ordering a 9300

    1.73
    60 gig HD,
    6800

    all for 1,054 dollars, this is a pretty good deal, im gonna upgrade my memory, not paying for some low cas and ****ty memory

    all in all, you think this is a good deal? it still has the 6 cell battery.. would it be cheaper and smarter just to find a battery around town so i would have a spare? otherwise if i upgrade to 9, thats the only one im gonna have.. and i have a feeling i can get em cheaper around town

    instead of upgrading to the 9, get the 9 cel 2nd battery. then you have the 6 and the 9 for only like 30 bux more

    that's what i did with my 6000... to go from 6 to 9 was 99 bux, but to get an extra 9 cel battery was only 129... 30 bux more to get a 2nd batt was a better deal in my opinion

    I think all the DDR2 ram out there which is PC-4200 has the same CAS.

    Also, there's no need for your attitude and swearing. If you hate them that much, go buy somewhere else. Otherwise, don't go spewing such stuff from your mouth.

    I was wondering what's the most important thing on the laptop?Is it the Processor or what?I was looking it up and It's the Processor but does that really matter also which one do you think is better Pentium M or Pentium 4?

    Cas latency isnt as big an issue as some are thinking with DDR2 memory, see review sites like anandtech and tomshardware for information on this.
