[ale] OT: 64 MB DDR 4XAGP ATI 9000 Video Card

[John Wells]

Jonathon,

Cool thanks.  I'll check http://powernotebooks.com out.  I ended up
putting off the purchase, but have to make it tonight.

Perhaps the Geforce 4 option with the dell (if I go that route) would be
best?  Nvidia seems to be well supported.

Thanks!

John
