I fired up the laptop last night and got into the Bios to find that this laptop only has 512meg of ram in it instead of 1 gig like I thought. So to who ever wants it I'll take $260 for it. That about makes up for the other 512meg of memory.
Jason, Yes it has a combo drive cdrw/dvd in it. Yes I'm still interested in the compressor.
The reason it's so cheap is because I got it cheap, it has no HDD, I have no use for it and I need $$$ for xmas.
