    Thanks Chazman! I came in just a bit shy of a few enhancing features such as the 5400 RPM HDD and integrated wireless(PCMCIA will have to do).

    Here Goes:

    # – Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2
    # – AMD Athlon(TM) 64 3200+ (2.0GHz/512KB L2 Cache)
    # – 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800)
    # – 128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory(TM)
    # – 512MB DDR SDRAM (2x256MB)!!!
    # – 40 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
    # – DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
    # – Integrated 56K Modem + 10/100 Ethernet LAN
    # – 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

    I'm still satisfied for the moment, hopefully its possible to upgrade the HDD later, I'd figure its not possible to stick a wireless card in there now though.

    You can always upgrade later when funds become available.
