    Anyone have this laptop?

    Im from Mexico and my local ASI distributor have a few of those laptops, i know is an old machine, but is better than my Acer one.

    The problem is i cant find any info about this model, even in the ASI webpage, or in the box in the ASI distributor office, because is just a plain white box without any info on it.

    I know a few things, is a 945 chipset with 17" LCD, is a barebone.

    My questions are, this chipset or laptop can use a T5200 to T7600 CPUs?
    can i use more than 2GB of RAM?
    the LCD max resolution is 1440x900?
    is double HDD?

    I prefer an OCZ one wich ASI USA handles, but this not happen in Mexico, so this is my only option, and i like because i can put my actual CPU with a new HDD and is 17".

    Thanks for any info about this machine.

    In fact, in the ASI webpage you can find that OCZ whitebooks, like the newegg ones

    but is very hard for me to buy something in the USA
