     Both this poster and one other indicated that they would choose the
1750.  While that might be my choice too, it depends on what types of
work the original poster does most with his computer.  Does he even use
GEOS?  (If the answer is no, depending on what other software he uses,
the 1581 might be a better choice.)  Does he maintain large databases?
(If he does, again the 1581 might be a better choice.)  If the original
poster will tell us what he uses or plans to use his computer for,
perhaps we can be of further assistance.
