i got a dell 8600 bought 2 years ago for 4.4k haha
1.7 ghz centrino
128 mb geforce go
60 gb hard disk
1 GB ram

anyone know how much it will cost to upgrade or whether it is even possible to upgrade the graphics card to a 256 mb one?
also for wireless b that the laptop uses, is it possible to connect ad hoc to anoter dell with the same specs and play games on that LAN without an access point?
thanks!

my specs ---->
called them bout it b4 on upgrading the graphics, they said its not possible.

regardin the wireless issue, i am not so sure bout it, but i doubt it can work. AFAIK, u do need at least an AP to do LAN gaming, doesn't matter if specs same or not, unless one laptop is connected to the other via ICS which i guess is another issue all together

hey dude thanks
pretty bummed out that i cant upgrade my graphics card though sigh
even though my laptop is 2 years old, it still owns man. less than a minute to start up
and my screen is very nice and clear.
anyways. should be able to upgrade the hrad disk right if i need, to 100 gb?
and to upgrade to 2 gb ram will it make a significant difference in graphics

Ugh, turns out that to repair a broken off key, $100-200 for replacement keyboard, and $100-200 more for service charge

Any cheaper way?

yes it comes with 1 year warranty as default. The part about paying more cash for warranty is when you want to upgrade to 3 years warranty.

I'm getting my dell inspiron 6000 with customised specs. Intel Pentium M 2.0ghz. Now just hoping the promotion will include free upgrade to 100gb, DVD rw drive and also ram memory 1gb---quite not possible for this. Hopefully there is good promotion during the pre christmas sales or sitex show.
