Use External USB Hard drives, as that will be more productive that Larger Internal drives :)

I already did, buy a Notebook like Dell 1520 which will have 160 GB HDD as u are concirn about larger HDD so i suggestedthink of External portable HDDs... as they will offer better productvity than larger Internal inbuilt drives...

Dell 1520 seems a cool option, but as u are buying from USA, do give MACBook a shot... Apple Hadware is damn cheaaap there...

With student Consession MACBook Pro 15" may come under USD 1200 :)... Any Intel MAC will run the new OS without any issue, but I suppose 512 MB RAM would be needed, in case of a New MACBook Pro, u will have 2 GB or RAM, so it will run Leopar with ease...

:)

Now if you dont have Student consesion option, then 13" MACBook will come under that budget !!! it will have 1 GB RAM more than enough to run Leopard...

Both MAC will support bootcamp, which will allow you to run Windows Vista with Leopard in Dual Boot :D

the New MACBook 13" will have GMA x3100 which i DirectX 10 copmatible with full Vista Aero support :)

The New MACBook Pro 15" will have dedicated 8600 GT 128MB Card which is also Fully Vista compatible with DX 10
