Hi,

Thanks a lot for encouraging comments received. The detailed configuration is as below:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T7250 - 2 Ghz
2GB (2 X 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
160GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities
9-cell 85Whr Lithium Ion Primary Battery

Integrated Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet
