Laptop for work/home moderate graphics

Thanks for the suggestions. Gives me a lot to think about. I do like the T4x models, my only slight hesitation is lack of widescreen. I did look at T43 at a local computer store today and I really like the solid build. As far as the company being really large, I knew right after I wrote it I...

Laptop for work/home moderate graphics

So I've started a new job, moved from a very small company to a very large one. I have a Dell 700m which I really love and considered adding docking and some ram and using that. Boss says don't bash up your own laptop, pick something out for $2500 and use that instead. First off I've already...

For those who remember frysad.com

Just so we are clear, Fry's never actually sued me, they only threatened to, which was quite enough to cause me to shut down. They were not happy with the banner ads on my site for what they claimed to be their competitors. The laws they threatened to use against me were copyright laws and...

For those who remember frysad.com

Hi there, I am the former webmaster of frysad.com. I was shut down due to legal action from Fry's electronics. Anyway it looks like the LA times has started posting the Fry's ad on their site in almost the exact same fashion that I used to do on my site. That is the entire page as an image map...

Hi all, haven't checked in for awhile since I was stuck at 140 fsb even after aquiring corsair xms3000. Of course my problem wasn't memory but heat. Well, I just got my new Coolermaster IHC-H71 copper heatsink and installed it. Upped my voltage a little and here I am at fsb 150 running at 45 C...

Well, the Corsair is definitely superior but it didn't really solve my problem. I am still hitting the heat vs. voltage wall at 145 to 150 fsb. I have been able to run at 145 for awhile now but just can't find any combo that works for 150. The good news is the Corsair is running at 3:4 now, the...

Ok guys, I picked up a stick of Corsair PC3000C2 512 at Fry's today (Yes, Fry's carries good ram now). So Ram should no longer be a question in my setup. I'll report back on how it goes after I install it tonight.

gsethi: Thanks for the advice. I have tried 4:3 settings after several of my failures and one time it made the difference between being able to boot and not, but for the most part it hasn't made too much of difference. Anytime I have been able to boot with 4:3 I have been able to simply reboot...

Hit my first snag, no LAn form soyo K7V Dragon+

I knew everything was going too smoothly. I am in the process of building two identical systems (rather publicly, for those who have visited my site). Everything had been going together far better than anticipated... until now. I was in the process of setting up the second system when I...

My First Build! Plz Critique

If you do use arctic silver (an I suggest you do) learn a lesson form me. I bought some, scraped the pad off my heatsink, then wondered what to do with the residue left behind. The arctic silver tube said look on their website for directions , so I did and that is when I found out how particular...

Better than bestbuy.com deal, 55 inch HDTV

I don't think it is so much that HD looks better on a CRT, it's that anything looks better on a CRT. All professional video work is done on CRT's. The advantage to projections is that you can achieve larger screen sizes than you can with a tube, but a tube is always superior for picture quality.
