Bump for a nice deal. My wife still has one of those. Decent lappy for it's time. Should run nice with a clean install. You can still find batteries for them on Amazon for decent price. That was a popular laptop in it's time.

I use Avast Free AV on it but I did the custom install and ONLY installed the file protection module and unchecked everything else. That makes for a nice light weight solution. That and Google Chrome for browsing since that's become a very light weight and safe browser.

The video is ATI based, I forget the chip. Not gaming class but WAY better than the Intel onboard video of that era. That was my main reason for buying it new originally.

FP is correct. The vid card is ATI based on the drivers used but not a gaming card.
