I have a 2.533GHz CPU in a Sager NP8886. I know from the little bit of research done right here at anandtech that I can in fact drop any 533MHz frontside bus P4 CPU into this laptop. Was wondering if there is any difference in wattage used between newer and older 533MHz fsb chips. Or is it a...
'bout 3 weeks ago I purchased an internal maxtor 7200RPM 8MBs cache HD. I use it in a seperate external case (I'm a sager laptop user, thus the reason for the external case) using FireWire and it runs very smooth compared to my last two prebuilt external hard drives. The previous two I got...
If all you want is to recover files... you can...
1. take out the hard drive and insert it into a machine with a different hard drive with an OS you can actually log into... then just access the files you need like it's any other second hard drive
2. Do a dual boot with the same operating...
Hey, I have a sager NP 8886 running an interal 40GB 4200RPM 8MB cache HD... I know it sucks but... no problems with bad sectors and I'v had it since November 2002
You're right I didn't understand... You started all this with a system the size of a cdrom or a little bigger... a pentium 1.5 and mobility 9600 and a fan for both. I looked at that first with ummm... NOOO! My first thoughts at that point was okay... where's the data for the games coming...
I don't know man... I can't see this thing being as small as you may like it to be. If you do the external power supply like most laptops... sure that would get rid of some of the heat... but to have all the features you'd really want it would have to be at least the size of a PS2. Which...
Sounds like all too much is missing. what about mouse support or would it use console like controllers? Most of the stuff on a laptop motherboard is there for a reason. Really it sounds like that's exactly what you are talking about... a laptop. To have a display, means more components on...
I can't say to stay away from the generic ones... I think I might go back and get another one of the same ones I got. It even has a high powered fan that keeps the drive really cool to the touch even after playing a game for a good while. Also if your looking into desktop optical drives this...
Hey now... I own one of these sager laptops... not quite the one you guys have been looking at... But then I have had mine for a year now too. I think it's awesome. I rarely move it around so it's used as a desktop. Only reason I needed it small like a laptop is because in the military you...
The very first external I bought was a BusLink USB 2.0 40GB with 8MBs cache.... no problems what so ever and it's the oldest one I have. I bought 2 IOMEGA external USB/Firewire Drives in the past... They both made some pretty awkard sounds about every 10 minutes. They worked though... Worked...
Cache is RAM for your hard drive. Key files and files used frequently are stored here for faster access. We all know RAM is faster than a Hard Drive. Therefore, the more cach you have... often the better performance you'll see. A 5200RPM HD with 8MBs cache will probably perform something...
