Got the laptop working...sort of. The ram doesnt work, so i just had to install winME on it (64megs is the minimum for winXP, and it only has 32, el oh el). Shes a Toshiba 7010. PII 300mHz, 32megs o ram, but has a docking station for DVD, floppy, more usb, ps/2, and even tv out. It actually runs a lot faster than I thought it would. I remembered 300mHz'ers being way slow. But then again, its not like viewing websites is all that resource consuming. So I think the ram doesnt work because it is not pc66. but notice that I bought it from here and it does in fact say pc66. Im pissed and I want to send it back.

I called stupid Action Used Computers and the stupid lady told me that notebook RAM is proprietary. This does not seem true. *Please* tell me if you think notebook ram is proprietary in the comments on the next line. [that is...once they get their server back up and running]
