Looking for a 12-14" Business Laptop

IMHO I believe the ThinkPad X61 is the very BEST portable 12 in Laptop made. Great quality and luxurious keyboard. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY for business and general usage it has 4:3 VGA screen 1024 x 768. They quit making it but still have a few available at Lenovo Outlet. "Refurbished" which is...

What types of bags are you using for your "netbooks"

Best case I have found for my small Lenovo X61 is the 11inch ZeroShock III. I tried numerous other sleeves like the one mentioned. Trying to save money. They provide minimal protection and will work. But if you really want the best shock proof case, try the ZeroShock from shinza.com. You won't...

big problem with GA-P35-DS3L

AFAIK NO motherboard manufacturer includes case mounting screws. The CASE Manufacturer should include screws for mounting into their case standoffs. I presume since it worked, it will probably be okay. Should not screw up your motherboard. Did you check your case mounting hardware packet? The...

Sorry, but which motherboard should I get....

Some folks here really push that Abit IP35-E mobo which I feel has one major defect. It does not allow for undervolting. And as OP wantied lower power consumption for cooler running, the Gigabyte DS3L allows undervolting while still overclocking mildly is a much better choice. I just built one...

Memtest86 3.4

What's up with the latest version 3.4? I downloaded the ISO image and burned a bootable CD. It finds fatal errors within 20sec on my system everytime at the same place. Never had a problem before. Tried 3.3 and no problems. I run OCCT, prime95, and Orthos just fine. So, I started searching...

Gigabyte P35-DQ6 Strange errors...

Gigabyte uses 1.8Vdimm for stock voltage. So, +.5 is 2.3Vdimm. A little hot! Everest or PC Wizard will give you voltages.

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Rev.2

I LOVE this mobo! Best One I've ever owned. Rock stable at 25% overclock while undervolting! And when I really want to run cool and quiet, I undervolt my Q6600 to 1.0V at stock 2.4ghz. No boot issues. I do have to reset bios when I bump from stock to 3.0ghz or else it goes into endless loop of...

Gigabyte P35-DS3

I have the DS4Rev2.0. I LOVE this mobo. Best I have ever owned. The NB/SB heatpipes are fantastic. VERY cool running even 25% overclocked. Many many BIOS adjustments. UNDERVOLTS C2D cpu very well. This really contributes to cool running. Stable. Lots of USB rear and front.

Help with choosing P35 Board

Well, I cranked up Vc to VID as you suggested. I, of course, always have C1E and EIST enabled. Idle Vc did indeed drop to 1.1 at idle but temps were 5C higher according to CoreTemp. At full speed fully workloaded with OCCT, temps rose more than 7C. Both conditions caused my cpu fan to increase...

Help with choosing P35 Board

Abit mobo do NOT allow undervolting. As one interested in quiet computing with the new Core2Duo wonderCPUs, I use this feature on all my recent builds. Gigabyte mobo allow undervolting. Gigabyte mobo also allow easy setting of RAM parameters with CNTRL F1. I have used Abit mobo in the past but...

I have Q6600 with LiteOn 20X SATA DVD burner that Shrink 3.2 encodes most copyprotected movies in about 10-20mins. ALL FOUR CORES are usually running about 75-90% with just the encoding process running. The encoding speed is about 10,000-12,000kbs according to Shrink. I have found some movies...

Gigabyte owners. Q-Flash or @BIOS?

I have used Q-Flash with USB flashdrive several times. Perfect. I have also used @Bios many many times with the multiple Gigabyte mobos I have owned over the years. Perfect. Just don't overclock while doing it is a good safe rule to follow. Same goes for using Q-Flash. Now if only we could...
