Hi All, After much considerations, I made up my mind to buy a Compaq. However, not too much sure what model.. I'm really thinking of CQ45 series, but i'm spoil for choices 129, 127 etc.. I prefer the Intel processor,and Nvidia graphic card.

anyway, just some quick questions (easy language please, I'm not too technically sound of computer terms ..heheh):
1. I just heard today that Sony is recalling some laptop batteries which they supply to the likes of HP, Toshiba. Does this recall include the Compaq CQ series? so far i heard only the old HP dv1000-4000 are affected.
2. I do have an ori windows XP, but heard lot of negative comments about the compatibility with the CQ model. Can somebody clear up this issue?
3. I want to install CAD software. anyone thinksof any probs in the horizon?

thanks
