If you know anyone at OfficeMax, they're having a Friends and Family
discount sale today & tomorrow.  One of the featured items in the flyer
is a Compaq notebook.  AMD Turion 64 CPU, 1GB RAM, 80GB drive, 15.4"
LCD, XP Home, Wireless, etc. for like $700.  Nice deal, really, until
you dig a little.  I went to Compaq's site and saw the drive was, you
guessed it, 4200 RPMs.  Totally spoils the potential performance of the
machine.



For a deal like that, would it be worthwhile to buy one at that price and
just replace the HD?
