It would only run for about an hour before it shutdown due to heating issues. I was unable to control the fan using various suggestions from the Questions list. Just be aware that the BIOS on the laptop my not let you cool things properly. I loved the machine and it was fast, had a big screen. But I had to give it to my wife to use (Windows XP). I only run FreeBSD on my machines. -- Ray Seals <rseals@vdsi.net>
