Before I go blow 3.6 kilobucks on a laptop, maybe someone has some advice for me. I need a machine with the following: Pentium 75 16MB RAM 800MB disk 28.8k modem Internal or external CD-ROM Active matrix SVGA -- with PCI bus. Must be fast! 16-bit stereo sound capability This machine will be used to demo a real-time 3D graphics application. High speed for VGA access and floating-point are the crucial performance parameters. I got a quote for about $3650 from Swan Technologies. These guys have been around for 12 years, and have gotten awards from PC magazine, etc. Seems like a good product, but it's one of the second-tier names (not like Toshiba, NEC, etc) so I'm thinking twice. The price is great, the warranty is decent. Is there anything comparable? Does anyone have any good or bad experience with Swan? Any recommendations for another brand? ^M ---- Marc de Groot | Immersive Systems, Inc. <marc@immersive.com> | http://www.immersive.com | Real VR for the net!
