First, you own a laptop, the heatsinks are TINY and therefor easily clogged. I blow mine out once every week. A can of compressed air will work wonders. Once every month or so - I open it up - clean out any thick clogs I can find and put it all back together. Your proc is fine, your GPU is fine...
I would contact Dell again, explain the issue, when they tell you it's not covered - DEMAND A SUPERVISOR - you have email data proof of when the claim was origionally filed and you have digital proof that the screen is covered under the replacement plan. They have to - BY LAW - replace your...
FYI - I use Vista Ultimate 64. No problems. It's actually less problematic than 32 bit Vista. Sure - XP-64 had problems, Vista - 64 does not. IMHO - it actually runs better. You have full use of all of your ram...not just 3 gigs. I understand that you're onlying using 2 right now - but trust me...
HA! Sorry, tired, bored, at work. Brain not working. Yes I ment Maxtor (I miss my old matrox video card). I saw one a bit ago for about 700. And I believe it was best buy - refurb.
As for build quality - It doesn't feel flimsy or anything, the only part that isn't SUPER TIGHT is the battery -...
First of all - pic's to follow for those of you who want them.
Okay so here goes. I traded my desktop for this laptop.
Desktop
Intel Core2Duo e6300 @ 1.83 ghz
2GB XMS2 @ 667
2 Maxtor (not matrox lol) 200 gig SATA drives
eVGA 8800 GTS 320 Superclocked
eVGA 680i mobo
Creative X-Fi...
I have an M1210 in pretty great condition for sale. Only sign of wear is on the touch pad left click button. It comes with the following load out:
XPS M1210 Laptop
Intel Core2Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz Proc
1 GB PC5300 Ram
nVidia Geforce Go 7400 with 256 MB Ram
12.1" Widescreen 1280x800 Screen...
Rad. I want to find a 9 cell battery for it instead of the 6 that it has. Also do you know if I can throw on the Accidental Protection Plan? I would like to pay Dell for another 2 years on it. It still has a little under 1 year left on the current warranty.
Well, I just bought a new laptop. I wanted something SUPER portable, small and powerful in the applications area.
So I bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290154566701&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019
It was at the right price point - I could have spent up...
So I had a party, and of course people found their way into my room with the computer in it. And an entire Rum and Coke later, my G15 is still operational, however sticky. Im serious - I think you could use this thing for an industrial adhesive. Anyway, I went out to pick up a cheap bypass so...
Too be honest - if you can get a GOOD deal on one - aka - after you sell your 320 - you spend less than 100 to upgrade - then I say go for it. However - I honestly think that the 320 will serve you just fine at 1440x900. If you plan on going any higher - then you will want to invest in more...
Who is going to make the Prelude? Creative? If so I think I will pass. I have quickly discovered that their cards are for the headphone wearers and the pc speaker users of the world. And while the performance boost of using an X-Fi has been nice, I think I have enough power to run a better...
So I made a cheesy sales person pitch on craigslist for em if you wanna see it but like the title says - I have a set of z-5300e's for sale that I am looking to get either 150ish out of or something neeto to trade. I just picked up a Harmon Kardon AVR 245 and I am going a different route. While...
Just bought a Harmon Kardon AVR 245 for 199. Got a screamin deal on it and I have been told that they are really great. I want to know everyones opinion on them, for those who have used HK products. Lay out the problems, the pro's the con's - and if anybody can tell me what the difference...
Well guys - and Mark - it pains me to hear that I am outside of my 90 day step up program. :( But I guess that brings me to another question - since I only run 1680x1050 and I do not plan to upgrade to a 24 or a 30 inch any time soon - and I already see post 30FPS framerates in all games I play...
It's more of a personal need than anything else. Every year I drop about 1.5 k into my machine - so its not really a NEED more as its a personal need lol.
I think I am right at the end of my 90 day - I will get with eVGA today and find out. My problem with getting a GTX is - I will have to sell off my 320 for maybe around 220 ish at used prices - then drop the 550 on the video card - so im still spending around 300~ on the video card but if I...
Okay - first off - I didn't go with the 640 and I didnt go with a GTX ultimately - so I have my 320 to deal with. I realize a lot of people apparently dont like this card - but I have nothing but good things to say about it. I experience slow down in VERY few games - the only game I can think of...
I had a GTX - took it back - I only run 1680x1050 - I didn't see a huge performance decrease - yes I saw some I will admit but not enough for me to have spend the extra 300 bucks at the time.
thx guys
Just kidding - but I am serious about the 8800GTS set up.
I already have 1 GTS 320 so I am going to invest the few bucks and get the other one. I play games like BF2142 - Rainbow 6 Vegas and GRAW as well as some CNC3 and SupCom.
I am hoping to get it put into the SLi contest. All eVGA...
Antec P180/182
4 HDs in the bottom - 2 or 3 more in the middle - 3 or 4 5.25 bays - plenty of room for an 8800GTX or 2 if you remove the middle hd bay - will fit pretty much all psu's - i think
quiet - GREAT airflow and they look sleek as hell.
1. I dislike Speedfan (let the flaming begin)
2. I have found that TAT and CoreTemp tell me the same temps all the time.
You sound depressed about taking a bargin chip to 3.5 Ghz?? I run my E6300 at 2.8 - I used to run at 3.15 and tested it with Orthos for about 10 hours - stable - however...
DarkStar - a buddy of mine and I are both building CarPuters - Hit me up on AIM or YahooIM. I would definately like to chat with you about a. your issues and b. your ideas - collaboration is rad lol
You're right. I am very impressed. I am going to need to do a lot of cable management to keep up lol. I plan on working on it a little tonight and since I can't find any of the attachments for my Jerker anywhere - I guess I will be posting sooner than I origionally thought.
