alright, I had a chance to whip out the other presario. It's a year older but much nicer. It has a AMD K6-2 at 533mhz, which is a bit slower, but it's sitting on a 100mhz (actually 95mhz) bus, versus the other machine using a 66mhz bus.
It also has a few surprises: a 17gb WD hard drive, a LG CD-RW, both of which are apparently factory (!), and a Nvidia G-force 2 MX 200, PCI, which from what I read has 64mb of RAM.
I wonder if I can use the later on B&W without a ROM flash. Anyone know, or know where I can get the firmware?
oh, don't worry, the machine has built in graphics, just like the other one.
I also found a Sidewinder Precision Pro, which makes playing my flight sim really sweet. from what I read, this is supposed to have a USB to DA-15 adapter, but I don't have one. Works with the built in game port on both machines though.
