Non-Nvidia cards also allow switching? Maybe I have been living under a rock but I thought that only cards with optimus have this option.

yeah, to be honest that laptop has, again, pretty much exactly the specs I want. But the freaken screen folds from 2 inches from the back, and it looks like it has a 'ba-donk-a-donk". That paired with how thick and angular it looks, its as if they really dont want me to buy it.

I really appreciate the advice that you guys have given me so far. I checked out the Lenenvo laptops, and they are pretty nice. Good style too, but they have a quatro gpu which if I am not mistaken is more optimized for intense applications. To answer your questions about the style I...

Thanks newster, that computer does look like a jet fighter though, and not in a good way, hehe. I guess I will post as per the norm and list all of my requirements/information: I want a decent battery life of 2 hours or more. I live in WA, USA. My price range is 800-1500 USD I...

Hi all, I have a dream. 15-16" screen with a good resolution 460m GTX gpu i5-520m proc (because I dont see a reason to spend the extra money on a i7, convince me otherwise) These specs are easily obtainable at a number of compy customizers that I found on the internet including...

Excellent, thanks alot!

Hello guys Here is my predicament, My mobo (Soyo P4X400 lite: TERRIBLE btw) recently suffered a fatality. I am looking to buy a new mobo on newegg and was wondering if a standard Pentium 4 2.4 chip (not a prescott, no hyperthreading) would work in a motherboard designed for a Prescott. I am...

So i used to have this issue where sometimes a file would be corrupted and no matter how many times i downloaded it, it would be corrupted. Now, i found out that by connecting directly to my DSL modem rather than with my router (D-link DI-604), this problem never occurred. So i used to switch...

make it 4 in a mllion i have an Epox 8kda3 j running at 1T...its a socket 754 nf3 board....or is this a socket 939 problem only? I never really heard about big trouble running at 1T before reading this thread :) its PMI memory currently OC'ed to 225MHz at 2-3-3-10-1T

i can't conclusively confirm it, but i can say the same thing happened to me (except the halo part) and a new motherboard did fix my problem.

I am connected via a router. Even if i direct connect to my modem i still have the problem.

Im running Verizon DSL in the Seattle area and i have a pretty serious problem. I can download just fine, ~60-85Kb/sec.. but if I try and upload even at 2Kb/sec I have problems loading webpages, pictures, or pretty much anything. My whole entire connection just gets all hosed up. We had a guy...

ok so here it is in a nutshell. I RMA'd my mobo a couple weeks ago, got it back two days ago. Installed it with no problems, except of course that lame undervolting shit. Last night i updated the bios (5/14) to hopefully fix the issue. Upon reboot, my network controller in the device manager...

self-serving bump for lack of interest.

I am tired of my old laptop and its time for a gaming rig! This bad boy is pretty much the skinniest laptop ever at about 1in deep. Specs: Pentium 3 700mhz 320 MB RAM 12GB Hard Drive Windows XP Office XP Docking Station DVD Drive IR port TV out Multiple USB ports 13" screen...
