TP 560: two questions



I need a new and light machine but I still can't make up
my mind. Here are two questions:

1. If you had to pay roughly the same for either the

TP560 with P120, 8MB, 810 MB, TFT

or the

TP560 with P133, 8MB, 2GB, DSTN

which model would you buy? I know that TFT is definitely
better but 810MB isn't a lot of diskspace if you need
two operating systems.
Given that there is no 2nd level cache, will you
notice the performance difference between both processors?

2. Is anybody running XFree on the DSTN model? I know
that there are no problems with the X Server on the TFT
model but I also know that there have been problems
with older DSTN machines (and if there are no patches
I'll be lost...)

Thanks

Christoph Eyrich


PS: The other machine I was thinking about is the
HP Omnibook 800. From a technical point of view the
machine is clearly superior (built-in SCSI port,
2nd level cache) plus it is being backed by a 3 year
warranty... But: the screen pales in comparison
to the 560 TFT one and the keyboard isn't quite
comfortable...
