I've been having problems with my system for the last couple of days now. I don't have a spare pc that I can try swapping parts with to narrow down the cause. The system has been running w 0 probs for over 3 years. For the most part once it's on it's been running w no problems and the problem...
Compusa has a deal on a a/b/g router with builtin printserver for $20AR. I'd get it myself if I didn't already have a g router and my laptop had the newer maxG card.
You can try using http://service.futuremark.com/orb/ I think you have to create an account, but you can do a search based on several different criteria. Keep in mind that the benchmark results are just artificial benchmarks, not actual game play FPS.
I'd agree with cheesehead if gaming is an...
They already have another followup at the Inq: http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32842
This looks like it could be a serious problem for Intel's Woodcrest processor. I just wish there were more details on what configurations were causing problems.
Interesting new problem just cropped up over at the Inq. http://theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32818
Any chance someone can do some testing to replicate the issue they seem to have found?
I saw HP/Compaq offering it as an option shortly after it was announced and now it's gone. Also, Gateway hasn't put out any new AMD based laptops in months. Their retail notebooks are almost all Intel now. Is there some sort of major availability issue?
Gateway marketing should be shot for...
It usually helps alot if you mention what you need your laptop/computer for before asking for recommendations. Do you need a fast gaming machine, something for business/presentations, etc.
I know I'm a bit late for this topic, but I just thought that it is worth mentioning that AMD laptops can be upgraded to VISTA or any 64Bit OS. Dual core is nice to have, but there is no OS upgrade potential. If not being able to upgrade your OS isn't a problem then the Core Duo's are definately...
Get it repaired now. In order to get your laptop replaced using BestBuy's PSP you need to have it sent in 3x before they will replace (I'm guessing that unless the cost of repair is too high like replacing the LCD they will just ship it out for repair which has been averaging about 3.5 weeks...
If I were choosing, I'd go for the 4402 andgame on my desktop. Personally I don't think dual core or even 64bit are as important as I thought they would be. Maybe in another 6 months 64bit might start to really show up (a couple of games that are patched or specialized applications don't count...
I still have my original battery for my laptop with an extended warranty. Battery life hasn't tanked, so I haven't bothered because it will probably take em 3 weeks to get the battery and install it (Bought from BestBuy) :P
I got the warranty only to cover the LCD and any other problems that...
I dislike BestBuy, but they carry Gateway A64 laptops that would probably fit your needs. The mx7525 4000+ is $1350. Comes with 1GB memory 100GB HD and a X600 video card with 256MB(128MB built in). If you drop the X600 to X300 with half the video memory you can opt for the platinum edition...
Go with the HP. If you need more USB/Firewire you can always get external hubs. IMO the extra memory is more important than being able to print a label directly onto a cd/dvd. I can't say anything about the express card slot, since I haven't seen any information pertaining to transfer speeds of...
I'd wait on more news about Core Duo reviews, it looks like THG may have turn up a bug that causes you to lose about 80 mins of battery life if you plug in a USB2 device.
