get the driver from the seller

i bought myself a compaq recently with FreeDOS. The model comes either with FreeDOS or Vista, no XP.

However the shop kind enough to copy both xp & vista driver in cdr

Can someone confirm the max ram for the cq40?
I think 2Gb is a bit low and not future proof.
Also, is the e-sata function really necessary?
How often would you need it.

Considering buying either cq40 or cq45 or asus f8vr.
but all different price range.
headache.

CQ40 is using the latest Centrino 2 and AMD Puma platform. Core 2 is faster than Turion X2 but HD 3200 is faster than 4500HD. AMD is cheaper too. CQ45 has more features but more expensive.
