Installed eCS 2.0 GA on the T60P yesterday, looks really nice!

Just ordered a Thinkpad W500 (NRA5YMH) with a 19200x1200 screen, specs just a bit above the T500 I considered earlier. It has 4Gb memory and a 320Gb disk. This is still a core-duo, 32-bit CPU at 2.8 GHz, so some hopes that eCS may run natively on it, and I will install VirtualBox on Windows too :-) Regards, JvW ========================================================================= DFSee Home: http://www.dfsee.com; Jan van Wijk; Author of DFSee - info@dfsee.com
