RE: Is this Sony Notebook powerful enough?
hehe, Dell notebooks are all like bricks! bulky, heavy! I suspect you can kill a moo instantly by throwing a Dell notebook to it.
Not sure bout AFPD, but my old Dell notebook runs AFP *reasonably* well, it got a P4 1.4 and a Geforce Go440 64mb on it. It definitly slower than my desktop which is a celeron 1.7 with a Geforce fx5200. I can really see it chuckled when flying Doc's Yak54 on the notebook, even with smoke off.
