Re: Lenovo ThinkCentre M90p USFF PC (TOWER?)

Post by mll » Wed Dec 08, 2010 7:37 pm

I am looking at the Tower version of the M90p, as I have liked the service and reliability of Lenovo, (@$600 as a student) and wonder if:

. 1) Anyone has thoughts as to its quietness. As I read the review said its small version was moderately quiet, but not very quiet, but I don't mind having a larger box if it will be much quieter?

. 2) It uses the Intel integrated graphics. As I read it this is OK for Flash, Large screens, but will probably poop out when doing high load Games? -- The questions that I want to have answered are:

. . 2.1) Can the integrated graphics support 2 screens for standard WEB browsing and displaying Flash, Hulu, NetFlix... on one, or will I need to purchase an additional card even for this moderate load?

. . 2.2) Does anyone know if there are the right slots, sufficient power supply, etc.... so that if/when I do upgrade to a Graphics card it can be supported?

. 3) I am offered an upgrade to windows 64 bit for $35.00. I expect to use 3 GB for a while, but as time passes will probably need more memory and need to upgrade to OS also. For standard use is there any reason why I should stay with the 35 bit version now?

Any other thoughts and suggestions.

THANKS
