Re: OFF-TOPIC: hardware advice needed.
I agree about getting more ram. 96 or 128 would be nice but it might shorten your battery a tad. Cel 366 and PII 333 shouldn't be much diffrence for general use, unless you need that 256K (not sure) on-die cache on PII.
BTW, I'm interested in Acer Travelmate 300 series. They look nice.
