RE: OT (sorta) Phil Harris caught again
Indeed.. I can get about 2:30 out of mine... But its normally plugged in
anyway!
As far as games go, it runs Halo and Sim City better than my desktop!
Hmmm.. Interesting... Im currently wrestling with a belkin G access point
that seems to stop working after a certain amount of data has been
transferred... Bloomin annoying that one!
The second ram slot is the little cover on the bottom of the laptop (in the
middle with the grill) and underneath is one single 256MB sodimm - the
other
256 is onboard. Sony claim a maximum of 1GB on this laptop, but I just
slammed in the 1GB sodimm I swapped from my PowerBook before I sold it and
everything has been great since!
The only niggle I have is it would be nice to have a faster hard drive, you
can at times tell the hard disk is playing catch up... Sadly there arent
any
faster 2.5" 80giggers... Yet :-)

> How are you liking your vaio phil?
Love it!
It's heavy as f*ck, battery life sucks (2 hours roughly) but I bought it as
a machine to use at home so none of that matters really - I have a really
skinny Compaq if I need to take a lappy out and about!

Screen is superb - I keep being surprised by how bloody bright it can go!

I don't play games on mine (other than Windows Pinball) ... iProntoEdit is
suprisingly demanding on resources though and I wanted something that I
could run that on and be able to see email / MSN / IRC at the same time.
What I do need to try to find out is whether I can just replace the
internal
WiFi card with an 802.11a/b/g card as I'm looking to move to 802.11a.
> And with 1.25GB of ram its more than capable of doing that!
Only got 512Mb in mine - I assume the second RAM slot is under the
keyboard?
I thought you had to have both slots filled the same though?
