[quote author=“writetovarun”]How well do you guys think the TR can handle Multitasking ? Does it slow down when more than a few windows are open at a time. I guess that depends more on the RAM. Than say the processor. SO ..... ?

I have had as many as a dozen windows open at once without a hitch.  I do not use photoshop or AutoCAD, but that included a few IE windows including my web based real estate software, Outlook XP, Word XP, E-sword bible reader software, and a DVD playing.  I barely got above 200mb of ram used.  This is why I ordered the extra ram and then canceled.  I simply do not need 1GB of ram.

I run a pretty tight ship when it comes to resources, though.  No eye candy.  I always keep my tray free and clear of unecessary junk.

Hm..which reminds me…anybody have a desktop that has specs decent enough to play Doom 3?  My three year old desktop with integrated 16MB video can barely play DX2, let alone D3. 
I’m thinking about buying a new desktop just for D3.

Grab yourself a good video card and forget about any other upgrades. Processor is not so important when you’ve got a video card with a processor that takes allthe work off your computer. For a couple hundred $‘s you can get a kickass card that will do you for Doom 3.

Is there anyway to get AutoCAD for free?  I have been interested in trying out some CAD production but haven’t really given it to much thought.

Yes, but it would be illegal.

I would like to see someone do a review with the TR and the T series.  That would be a good comparsion. raspberry

Magazines won’t do it. You need to wait for a user to own both machines (or have access to both) which might not happen for a while.

Don’t worry, it would be very believable coming from me… P2P is the reason my music collection is around 5-6GB and growing rapidly.  rolleyes
