I've been in the same boat as you for a while. You are pretty much SoL unless you want to spend a lot of money. One option to consider may be the Dell Latitude E6410, 14 inches, optional matte 1400x900 screen. Colors aren't great from what I've read, but if you are just doing work related stuff...
Mucking around? You go to CCC, set the fan speed to 30%. Done.
My card idles at 48 and load never goes above 75 and my PC runs almost silent. After owning a 8800GT, I vowed never again would I deal with such a hot and loud card. Setting up Riva profiles isnt that hard, but its still not...
I see, thanks for the help. Guess the christmas wish list will include a blu-ray. I figured that was the answer, but I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something in the settings/connection.
I just purchased a Panasonic Viera 1080P 42 inch plasma. I have HDTV and the HD channels are amazingly crisp. However, I just hooked up a philips DVP5982 upscailing DVD player and the image certainly isnt HDTV quality. I tried hooking up the player through an HDMI cable and YPbPr cables...
I bought a 4870 1GB w/ the cashback deal, getting it at about 200$ It was listed as brand new, retail, etc...seller had good ratings. Well I got it, the box OBVIOUSLY had been opened up and the manual was missing. The box explicitly stated that a manual was included. So I called the guy out on...
Thanks for the help guys. I have one more dumb question.

I just ordered that plasma TV. If I want to hookup a comcast HDTV box and a dvd player, do I need to buy separate HDMI cables? Or will both those devices come with them? I just...
So this years blackfriday has inspired me to finally make the switch to HDTV. I just watch movies and have no plans on gaming on my TV. So after a few hours of research, I decided on a plasma. I am debating between a 42 inch vs. 50 inch. I went with plasma because the prices seem to be much...
4870s DO NOT run hot or loud if you have a well ventilated case and control the fan speed with CCC or Rivatuner. My fan speed is set at 30% and is not audible over my case fans. Gaming, I've only seen it go up to 76 degrees, which beats the hell out of my 8800GT. My 8800GT got up to the 80s and...
I have a 4870 1 GB and am running DX9. I dont see any microstuttering at all. My benchmark graphs dont have the sharp little spikes in them either. Not sure whats going on. I am running 8.10 with the first hotfix. I get about 41FPS at 1680x1025 with everything on Ultra/High no AA.
Thanks apoppin, I was starting to wonder...While it seems there is a bottleneck there, it is hardly something to worry about. Considering it would be about 180$ for a few more FPS.
