    Hello,

    I am looking at a used CF-19 MK1 but the seller says he has one MK2 left in stock which he will sell at the same price if I purchase soon. Is there any big difference here?

    Not a huge difference but enough I would go for the Mk2. CPU speed is the same at 1.06, but the Mk1 is a 32 bit only system. Mk2 is a 32/64 bit system. Both can take 4gb DDR2 ram. SATA hard drive connection. Their are known problems over time with the touchscreen on the Mk1 / I haven't seen any real problems with the MK2 touch. The graphics are better. 945 Intel on the Mk1 and 965/X3100 Intel graphics on the Mk2. ( I have played Portal with out problem on the Mk2. Think I can get left4dead to play on it but haven't tried it yet. Also depending on what OS you are planning on running on the Mk1 you will need the right bios installed to run it where everything works (example: touchscreen). You can run anything you want with out having to swap the bios on the Mk2.
