Dilemma--laptop or desktop??
I have a bit of a dilemma. I have here my trusty pentium 3 500mhz machine with a 40 gig drive that i built myself some time ago. Its got to the point now where the HD is near full as as a result,the system is slow.

My dilemma is,should i switch to a new laptop or should I upgrade the base unit?

The cpu isnt worth upgrading and the mobo cant take much more than its slot 1 500mhz cpu. I'd probably be into a new mobo,maybe a duel core cpu and a new HD at least.

I wonder if anyone has previously been a base unit user,switched to a laptop and regretted it or otherwise??

Of course the other option is just to put a bigger HD in this machine.

Can someone remind me,if i buy a new HD,how do i copy the contents of the existing one onto the new one and make the new one bootable? Its been a while since i dos'sed about.
