Craig,

Did you see the price??? It says $799. The first link said $999. If true, that would be great. Looks like it is no longer a sealed box and is upgradable with a couple of open slots. The 56K modem is really nice. No mention of the amount of RAM. Looking good! This is the biggest jump in the GX line from Compaq yet. Good, good, good. It did say that they will be on back order, though. Maybe some people will put a computer IOU under the tree this year.

Pravin.

Craig, Jim,

Great finding on 220Mhz MediaGXm base Compaq Presario 2240!

Wondering why we did not hear any press from National-Semi on the MediaGXm?
