  1. Laptop recommendation for Grad school

    Oh yeah, true! So 35W is not at all a bad TDP for the NB+CPU or whatever you want to call it... Intel's Fusion I guess lol. Pretty neat. So yeah, a choice between that and separate chips with more graphics oomph if required... the decision is really up to the consumer at that point. I know what...
  2. Laptop recommendation for Grad school

    I'd look for something with: -DDR3. Lower power, and potentially higher performance, but not a huge performance increase for laptops compared to DDR2. The power savings and cooler operating temps of DDR3 are nice though. -250GB or bigger hdd, not really sure how big you'd like... up to you...
  3. Recommend me a laptop with these requirements...

    Pavilion dm3z series: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/sh...le/dm3z_series Smaller than 15" though is the only thing, but 7 hours of battery life and an igp that will handle some light gaming etc. Good price. Note: you can customize these with N or P series processors. The N's all have a...
  4. need help deciding please

    Hey bud fyi I would hold off on buying that overpriced Tigerdirect one if I were you... if you build it yourself, you'll get -better memory with lower latencies, not sure what kind of memory they put in either of the above, but no way it's DDR3-1600 CL6 -better power supply. Antec...
  5. need help deciding please

    AbsoLUTELY you can. I'll price out parts hopefully tomorrow for you. But it's almost 3:30am and I really should be in bed :( Really though. $1600 for a computer with only a GTX260? Really? You can get better components for cheaper... a better PSU, a name-brand mobo (not Dell brand, something...
  6. Laptop wish list; suggestions needed

    Random thoughts: If the man wants AMD, give him AMD. I want the same, but I'm waiting for this summer's ULV parts and DDR3. Intel has good CPU's, yes, but they are overpriced, and the company's business practices stand against everything I believe in. And their graphics suck. Hyperthreading is...
  7. New to SFF computers

    There are many choices... http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=2 VIA Eden is somewhat capable, I've heard. We have a few of them at work and do basic data management tasks with those machines.
  8. budget $300 for cpu/mb/ram. What to buy ?

    Holy cow dude. That is awesome. Be sure to run Prime95 and some other stress tests, and monitor temps on that CPU! I really hope that it's entirely stable with 4 cores unlocked. That is wicked cool though! You should run Folding@Home on that bad boy rig :D
  9. Need help finding a good/cheap pre-built computer

    I could likewise help you build one; I live in western Michigan. ibuypower has been around for years and used to be (I think still is) one of the cheaper 'boutique' type computer shops. They charge more than Dell/HP/Gatway/Acer, but their computers are prettier. You would be well off getting a...
  10. budget $300 for cpu/mb/ram. What to buy ?

    No that's a great combo! if they also have the Phenom II 925, you can overclock it to the same level as the 965 easily, and if you don't plan to go super high with overclocking (above the 3.4GHz that the 965 runs at, I mean) then you might as well get the cheaper chip and run it at 3.4GHz, as...
  11. budget $300 for cpu/mb/ram. What to buy ?

    Nah I wouldn't bet on that. From what I understand, the initial dual-cores and triple-cores from AMD (in this generation, with the 'II' designation) were quad-cores that weren't perfect, so AMD disabled one or two cores and sold them as duals or tri's. These days, the process is more perfected...
  12. budget $300 for cpu/mb/ram. What to buy ?

    Yeah, the 750 is a quad core. It is $200 though, and that's one of three items tintino needs... $40 to $50 on a motherboard to support a $200 processor?? Really? And this is supposed to be a gaming computer, judging by the Radeon 4850, I could be wrong but it's my guess. Even if he gets a $40 or...
  13. budget $300 for cpu/mb/ram. What to buy ?

    A Radeon 4850 huh? That's a nice card. What kind of PSU, HDD, and case did you get? Sadly there is no way you're going to get an i5, a motherboard, and DDR3 for $300. A good idea when searching is to look at Newegg's Combo area, where if you buy two items together you get a discount. Check...
  14. is there a definitive answer on how to maximize a battery's lifetime?

    Reduce backlight brightness, use only 1 stick of RAM instead of 2 that are half as big. Go into Windows Power Settings and set everything to super conservative. Clean up your Windows install of unnecessary startup tasks and services. Clean your registry out. Undervolt your processor.
  15. Need help finding AMD gaming laptop

    Pretty sure you meant stay away from Turion X2 and Athlon X2. These are K8-based... an architecture from 2003. The new Turion II and Athlon II are actually not something to steer clear of. They are based on the K10.5 architecture, which comprises the Phenom II desktop processor series. The...
  16. Need help finding AMD gaming laptop

    Well there are the ZM-series Turion X2 Ultra processors, but they're based off of the K8 architecture still. The newer "Athlon II" and "Turion II" and "Turion II Ultra" are much better. However I haven't seen any around that have faster video cards than the Radeon 4200, which is integrated with...
  17. Need help finding AMD gaming laptop

    Wait for the AMD Danube platform, supposed to be out in not too long Dual, tri, or quad cores processors based on the Phenom II, K10.5 architecture. And the new Radeon 5000 series graphics cards. Also DDR3, and new power saving features as well. I think USB 3.0 too. I also hear the graphics...
  18. Dumb Question but Please Come In...

    Noooo. A 1.6GHz Atom (the N270) is about comparable in processing power to a 1.2GHz Pentium M. So a 1.5GHz Pentium M will be faster. Even the Mobility Radeon 9200 is going to have favorable performance when compared to Intel's GMA 950...
  19. Dumb Question but Please Come In...

    Clock for clock, AMD's processors are all faster than the Atom. Even the K8-based Athlon 2650e is way faster than the Atom, and it runs at 1.6GHz. Intel's CULV processors are faster than AMD's CULV's though, yes.

  21. Multimedia laptop recommendations

    CPU is not that important for 1080p decoding, but you don't want to try it on an Intel Atom. The graphics are more important now. For multimedia you want a laptop with a graphics card by ATi or Nvidia, no question about it. AMD's offerings as you may recall pale in comparison to the Core 2 Duo...
  22. Energy efficient Laptop recommendations

    I am a big fan of these new M-series processors from AMD. K10.5 architecture like the Phenom II. No longer based on the K8 which we've had for many years now. You should get around 4 hours of battery life with this, I think, if you go to Power Settings and put it on Power Saver, and also...
  23. Looking for an affordable 11-12" netbook that can play older games

    My thoughts exactly. I've had many terrible experiences with Intel graphics. Very infrequent driver updates, poor implementation of DirectX features, no hardware lighting transform (maybe the 4500MHD finally has it, Idk) which Nvidia has had since the 6100 days. And performance, even if you see...
  24. New Laptop - i3-330M with IGP or T6600 with Radeon 4570 GPU???

    This is absolutely right, but only for the Athlon X2 and Turion X2 processors. The ones you see now everywhere have Athlon II (Athlon II, not just Athlon) X2 and Turion II X2 processors. These go clock-for-clock with Core 2 Duo processors. And the integrated graphics that come with these II...
  25. I need help picking between 2 laptops

    If you don't need a powerhouse then I'd suggest the Compaq. Hundred bucks cheaper, and since you don't need a powerhouse, you won't miss the increase in processor speed that the HP has. But for what you originally asked, yes the HP's graphics are worse than the Compaq's graphics. It's not that...
  26. Which Reliable Notebook

    I'd recommend a laptop with a Pentium Dual-Core, or an Athlon II (not an Athlon). The AII will be slightly faster (not that it matters :P) and probably around the same price point. I like ASUS, HP, Lenovo is good but I think more expensive. Idk about UK model numbers... For more runtime, it's a...
  27. I need help picking between 2 laptops

    HP makes office laptops, they're the Elitebooks I believe These are your standard consumer laptops, and yes you're right, if you want to do some gaming you'll want the Radeon 4200. Nothing else around this price point has a video card anywhere near this fast.
  28. A hefty Decision

    Very, very low-end. Only 8 shaders. I think the GeForce 9400 has 16, and they put those with Intel Atom processors. How much is the T6600 laptop?
  29. It may be time to buy a video card...

    Radeon 5770 is worth the price increase over the 5550. I would get those over a GTX260, for the price. Those 260's are fast, yes, but hot and loud. My flatmate has a nice non-reference EVGA GTX260 Core 216 one with a nice cooler, and I can hear the fan all the way from his room into my room...
  30. Gaming Notebook! CPU and GPU combo? Help please...

    The mobile 300 series from Nvidia is the same technology that debuted in 2006, and was then called the GeForce 8000 series. They have added new types of memory, done die shrinks, added some shaders, and little enhancements over the years, but the ATi 5000 series, and even 4000 series tech is...
  31. Ok baffled here on a DV6000

    +1 on that. We did that all the time when I worked with Firedog. Fixed just about every undetected optical drive issue customers had.
  32. Need a ~12" laptop within a fortnight

    The 200m is super old. I am still not surprised that it surpasses GMA X3100 though! Yes, you're right on the money with the upcoming ultraportable. I'm waiting for either that, or Danube (dual, tri, or quad-core with Radeon 4290). They'll both be 45nm, and based on the same K10.5 technology...
  33. Please Help With Soggy Laptop

    Yeah, I heard about a guy a few years back who was hazed, I think at some Ivy League school, and they made him drink something like 4 gallons of water. Not sure if he finished that or not... kind of doubt it. Talk about your LD50. Jeeeeez. Yeah, I'm not sure about the 90%; it depends on...
  34. Buying first laptop ever!! ***Help please***

    Sorry for flooding you with text man! I got excited, lol. That Sony would be pretty cool. Honestly I think it's a bit of overkill for WoW and everything else you want to do though. There's such a thing as future-proofing, yes, but I made the mistake of getting a laptop that was way more...
  35. Netbook or no?

    I think CULV is where the future of ultra-mobile computing lies. People for the most part are unsatisfied with netbook performance, even knowing that netbooks aren't meant to be powerhouses. I forget who did the poll and am too lazy to look it up :P but CULV's offer enough performance that it...
  36. Buying first laptop ever!! ***Help please***

    If you'd like to potentially do some WoW, then you'll want to avoid laptops with Intel integrated/chipset graphics. They have improved over the years, but are still not able to match offerings from Nvidia and ATi that were offered generations ago. Some of the new ones are able to support HD...
  37. Notebook AM2 Cpu Upgrade (2650e to ??)

    OP was talking about a laptop... I REALLY don't recommend putting a 45W processor in a laptop! Just on principle I guess. If it works well, and if the required voltage is the same... up to you, I guess. I know with those you could get a 2650e (had one), 2850e, or dual-core 1.5GHz 3250e.
  38. When Do you think we'll see mobile 890gx chipsets?

    http://en.ocworkbench.com/tech/gigabyte-reveals-its-amd-890gx-mainboard-ga-890gpa-ud3h-with-usb3-and-sata3-6gbps-support/ It's (apparently) called the Radeon 4290, I've heard that too maniac5999. I believe it's Radeon 4350 based, and 80sp... The AMD Danube platform will be out this year, but...
  39. Please Help With Soggy Laptop

    There's actually no hard evidence of this being deadly or dangerous, just people saying you won't get your essential minerals... but drinking water isn't a significant source of minerals. We get our minerals from food, because in food they are in compounds that make them bio-available to us...
  40. Best laptop purchase for wife

    Radeon 4200 is not discrete graphics, it is integrated, and I believe 55nm.
