Lost access to FS/T forum?

Admins- Apparently I haven't logged into FS/T since 2008. Wow! I'd love to again, but I'm getting a message that I can't access it. Are there new rules to access this forum? Thanks in advance!

Dell Latitude E6500

Got the E6500. So far I'm very, very impressed. The E line looks like a solid replacement for the soon to be retired D series.

Dell Latitude E6500

OK, I didn't know you could use a key for both the 32-bit and 64-bit version. Interesting. I've heard that Vista keys sometimes sync with specific OEM-issue discs so my only worry is that the key Dell provides me would only work with a Dell OEM copy of Vista. I know you can get around that by...

Dell Latitude E6500

I'm really glad I came here and asked what you guys thought of this. It turns out Dell isn't selling the E6500 with the 64-bit OS, even though the spec sheet says it supports it (and up to 8GB of memory). Trying to figure this out this morning.

Dell Latitude E6500

I agreed. I'll go with the 4500MHD. Everyone I've talked to has said it's a solid option so I'll take all of your words for it. =) I definitely want the 64-bit OS. I'll call and ask about it. It mentions nothing about it on the ordering screen.

Dell Latitude E6500

I had assumed it was Ultimate 64-bit, but you're right, I need to check. Why Dell would sell a laptop with four gigs of memory and provide a 32-bit OS is beyond me. As for the monitor, I'm torn. I'd like the extra battery life, but the laptop is going to be plugged in more often than not and...

Dell Latitude E6500

Dell is crafty. To customize a laptop fully you need to select the cheapest configuration, which reduces the "instant savings" cash amount. But if you don't select the cheapest model it locks you into minimum hard drive and memory selections which, of course, cost more. So, to get to the...

Dell Latitude E6500

I'm paying an extra $70 for the video card. I'll be using the system with a 22 inch LCD at home from time-to-time. You think that if I'm not gaming upgrading from the 4500MHD is a waste of cash and battery power? The 4GB upgrade is $210. I build all of my desktops but have never opened one of...

Dell Latitude E6500

I'm about to buy a brand new laptop. Always so very exciting. =D Anyone work with the E6500 yet? I was about to invest in a D830 but a few friends talked me out of it. The E6500 has a few cool features the older line does not (but no s-video out!) and has a higher FSB. Apparently, they go...

How outdated is the S754 lineup

For $1000 you can build something pretty damn nice, actually. Far better than a 754 system. I'm guessing you could spend closer to $600 for a full 754 system. Check out this guy's offer: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...ord1=%22athlon+3700%22

Upgrade project

Warhammer when it comes out. And yeah, I don't need to upgrade, but I'm looking to do so anyway. I haven't really done anything to this system in about three years, and that's just crazy. =)

Upgrade project

OK, I'm a World of Warcraft junkie (I admit it, I'm addicted) looking for an upgrade. I'm currently running a 754 Asus mobo with an Athlon 3400, 1gb of Patriot memory and an AGP 7800 nvidia vid card. I'm also using a 22-inch Viewsonic LCD. OK, here's the project. I have about $400-$450 and...

Post some of the *Secret Menus* at fast-food restaurants

You can order a large shake at In-n-Out as well, which isn't on the menu.
