You will have to run Xfree 3.3.6 with this notebook, and if it has a DSTN you
will hate the screen with a passion. There is also a TFT model, I hated the
screen on mine so badly that I purchased a screen from a 760xl and "made it
fit" lol. It's probably only a P120 or P133 anyway so in my opinion it's not
worth $389.00. You can probably find a decent celeron 300 or 400 for that
price.
