Never ending ??? The right computer for the job?!?!

Never ending ??? The right computer for the job?!?!

Never ending ??? The right computer for the job?!?!

(OP)
I talked the wonderful IT folks at my company into an IBM (Lenovo) 2687D5U laptop after a few years of griping about performance issues.
Anyone see anything wrong with this unit before I put my neck on the line?
It's a one gigger with the 128 MB ATI Mobility FireGL V3200 graphics card.
Processor is the Intel Pentium M Processor 760.
Somebody talk me out of this thing!!

RE: Never ending ??? The right computer for the job?!?!

It should be fine. Put 2 GB of ram in it so you can open larger assemblies.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

I don't know anyhting about it realy but the ATI card would make me shy away.  I would prefer an Nvidea card.
