    About to purchase Lattitude D820...A Couple Questions

    *Reposted from elsewhere for twice the commenting goodness.* This laptop will be used for college, specifically Computer Eng., so I might be doing some modelling programs. It will also be used for music, video, and WoW, if the performance is there. If anyone has tried playing WoW with the...

    7600GT - Sufficient for WoW @12x10?

    Will it be enough? This is a gift purchase, and the person is currently using an MX440 or something -- WoW is a slideshow right now. He probably doesn't need significant AA or AF, just because hes used to it being so crappy. Also, what other cards in the $150-$200 price range might...

    Just Got ATI Theatre 650, Need Help

    Seems like a good card, but I can't exactly get things to work well. I'm using analog NTSC cable. I need some help to: 1) Get the video to not look like absolute shit when using Beyond TV. It looks half decent when viewed with ATI Catalyst Media Center, so I know it can do it. BTV must...

    $2000 Budget for Laptop, WWYD?

    I have $2000 to spend on a laptop, and cost up to that point is not an issue. I need a good laptop that will serve me the next 5 or so years, esp through college (entering fall '07). I have a good gaming desktop, and it would take about $3000 to equal its level of perfomance, so I think it...

    Problems with PSP, need advice

    Originally posted on Ars Technica: I bought this psp for $30 from a friend who hadn't used it in months; he told me it had a cracked screen. I bought a screen off ebay, but I've only been able to turn the psp on once. I didn't know it would come with this extra turning on / power issue...

    Go 7900 GS - Enough for WUXGA?

    Topic says all. Thinking about buying an insp. e1705 w/ 1900 x 1200 and a 7900 GS. But I think any benefits I get from upgrading to 19x12 (as opposed to 1680x1050) will be mitigated by the slower framerates I will get. Advice wanted.

    WUXGA on a Laptop

    I was wondering how useful WUXGA would be on a laptop. It certainly makes it a lot harder to game on. OTOH, you have a lot more detail. Yet the pixel pitch is EXTREMELY fine @ 140 ppi for a 17inch. I shudder to think of that on a 15.4. Will I have to have my nose 3 inches away from the...

    Any point to getting DDR667 over DDR533 in a C2D notebook?

    From what I have gathered, it seems that there is in reality no difference between DDR2 533 and DDR2 667 with Conroe, but once you get to DDR2 800 you start seeing the performance increases. Now, my question relates to Merom, on which I have found very little information. Since the highest...

    Laptops with Num Pad

    I'm trying to find all laptops that have an actual, built in numpad and run on core duo. I would greatly prefer core 2 duo, although I am not purchasing soon, so finding the core duos will work for now. I expect them to get upgraded eventually, what with C2D being a drop in replacement. So...
