Thanks for the info. I will add that to my short list of possibilities.

I have had a compaq before and didn't care for it too much. I didn't like how they setup the HD (with the save partition) and the system restore disks automatically create that at reload.

Also, the damn power supply connction to the motherboard broke after time and they wanted me to replace the whole motherboard (out of warranty) and they wanted to charge me $650 just for that.

If they changed the way the power suppy was since the 1200xl, then maybe I'll get it.
