The Gateway FX you mentioned is a desktop. This is a notebook.  The X305-Q705 spanks the competition in a price comparison. The only thing they could do to make it better at that price is make it wuxga. Back to the Gateway. ANY desktop would spank any similarly priced notebook if you were to build your own or even buy it because parts for desktops are cheaper.

150 gigs isn't enough for the average user? 250 on Comcast? I download movies and tv shows all the time and I never come close to even 50 gigs a month. Who cares if they cap it. They're probably doing that to stop file whores who leave mIRC or other programs running 24/7 pulling everything off the servers and filling up terabyte drives.

"Wherever you go, there you are." ---buckaroo bonzai I bought the hype and bought the board. It's a great board if you leave it alone. Try to overclock it and it locks up tight. I had to reset the cmos, something the board said it didn't have to do. Funny how it still had the jumper and the clear cmos button. Seems to me if it's supposed to automatically reset in case of error you wouldn't need that feature.

I'll never understand why people don't take the time to learn how to use mIRC and XDCC Klipper. I've never had a problem, nor have I ever read of anyone ever having any sort of legal issue using the program to download files using mIRC. It's easy, blazingly fast, and makes using a torrent program feel a little like using AOL dial-up service.
