    It is the slowest and built utilizing last generation tech with a noisy fan, but has mediocre graphics acceleration and 250 meg suites of drivers that can break between releases

      Don't worry. You can always go with nvidia, and get instant overheating because of a fan driver bug. Massive TDR problems(it only exists to this day), because they lowered the voltage via drivers in order to stop the gpu from overheating, and get 280mb driver suites as well, which of course can break between releases and cause commonly used applications to enter into crash city.
