I've been asked to assess my office's new laptops

I have seen several of our Dell Latitude D610 laptops with scratches and dents that seem to just keep humming away. We still have Latitude C series in service, they seem to hold up very well, although most everyone has a D series now. I don't like the small screens on the D4xx series, but if you...

EGeforce 6800gt NEED HELP

system specs? most important your power supply? maybe it's not getting enough juice. 6800GT needs a fair amount, i was using a 380 Watt when I had my 6800GT and it was working fine.

17/19" LCD Recommendation

Dell 2005FPW FTW :thumbsup: especially if you can get it around $360-370 ... better for movies, and once more games start supporting widescreen :beer:

anyone can play 1080p movie smoothly?

with rig in sig: smooth as silk. using my I9300 with 1.83 Pentium M and 6800 GO ... definately more choppy. hard to say what the limiting factor is.

Dell Inspiron 9300 pretty good deal

two flavors of screen. XGA+ (no coating) and UXGA (with the reflective coating). I have the UXGA and like it so far. backlight bleed has dimished with use ... I don't know why.

ASUS A8N SLI mobo temp question

you dont say whether or not it is deluxe (with the fan) or a premium (heat pipe), but I have an older intel based asus mb that runs the same way. the proc stays cooler than the mb. may just be an asus thing.

ASRock939 AGP Rate?

I had the same problem - not seeing my AGP as AGP, here is what I did: 1. Fresh OS install 2. Installed AsRock AGP drivers 3. Installed AMD X2 driver 4. Install vid driver. I have a 6800GT so I am using 81.85 drivers everything now works like a charm.

New AMD Gaming Rig - high-end Pt. 2

I love my Dell, I don't know if they changed the panel on it recently, but mine has the same LG as the Apple 20" :), only slight backlight bleeding... not really noticeable though. single or dual core, they all overclock. X2 3800+ FTW all overclocking depends on luck of the draw, with...

Anyone with AGP and a dual core?Please post what motherboard you have

A quick search didn't yield any results for 945/955 with AGP, unless a chipset like ULi comes along as it has on the AMD platform and makes a AGP/PCIe board or something.

Will there ever be a better AGP card than the 6800Ultra/850XT PE?

My Dual939 has been awesome, and I can upgrade to PCIe when I need to. 6800GT + overclock is a good combo.

Have a 6800GT. Should I get a 6800 Ultra, 7800GT or wait for the 7800GTX to drop some more?

I'm also contemplating a 7 series card, but think I'll wait a bit longer, 7800GT is a good buy right now. See what comes down the pipe? But if you keep waiting and waiting you never get anything. F.E.A.R. is really taxing my system at 1680x1050, have had to drop down to med quality on...
