If wimax is integrated in the new xps range [it would be built alongside the current wifi module?], then wouldnt that free up the express-card slot that i would otherwise have to use for the wimax card ?

 

The 3450 is very very low end. If you don't care about games at all or running stuff that uses the GPU, it's fine (should be considerably better than integrated), but...

 

I basically wanted to try Server 2008 and see how it worked as a workstation OS. I am pretty happy with it, I noticed that there are far fewer processes running by default, so you have a little more control of the extras you put on your notebook. I was also very surprised how easily all of the Vista drivers worked on it right off the bat, especially the 64 bit ones.

The ATI Radeon 3450 is a low end card. I haven't tried any games on it, but I would like to give TF2 a shot, it should play fairly well, as should a lot of Steam games. Probably even Crysis at the lowest settings across the board, but that kind of defeats the purpose.
