Radeon Mobility X1400 benchmarks?

The render output pipelines have got to be twice the x1400, though, right?

Radeon Mobility X1400 benchmarks?

Will anything better ever be offered in their 15" laptops? Is the x1600 too different a form to fit?

Radeon Mobility X1400 benchmarks?

Looks like this card is a 4 pipe card :( The x1600 jumps up to 12 pipes (and 16 for the x1800) Is it safe to assume this card is a worse performer than the x700?

e1505 - does the 9-cell battery stick out?

I just ordered a Dell e1505 with the standard 6-cell battery. Does anyone know if the 9-cell unit protrudes further than the 6 (or is that a given)?

dell coupons on ebay stackable?

Ok, got it to work just fine. And since this is the Hot Deals forum, I just got a Dell e1505, dual core with sxga and a 256mb x1400 for $903 shipped (with dvd burner too, i should add i guess). Could have shaved another $18 using the Preferred account.

dell coupons on ebay stackable?

Just need a quick answer, can someone tell me if the $30 off $300 coupons on ebay can be combined with other $ off coupons (for example the $450 of $1500)? It looks like they cannot but people seem to use them. Thanks!

HP warranty transferrable?

I'm considering buying a used HP laptop that's about 6mo old. Does anyone know if the warranty on something like this is transferrable? If the unit has unforseen problems, I'd like to be able to have it taken care of under warranty.

FireGL and Quadro cards?

Can someone explain to me what the FireGL and Quadra cards used in "business class" laptops are all about? And while we're on the subject... what is the major difference between, say, Latitude and Inspiron laptops? Do Latitudes have a stronger frame or are they more durable?

lifespan of a laptop display?

Dell E1705 switches from 7800Go to X1400

I agree, I'd bet this is a move to 'de-tune' the 1705 to redirect buyers to the XPS line. This was an unbeatable combo for the price. Isn't the x1400 just an update of the x300 incorporating SM3 (or whatever) and the "bus ring" technology? I think it's a 4 pipeline card. I'm in the market...

processor recommendations?

I'm doing a system upgrade soon and have been out of the cpu info loop for awhile. I will be gaming soon so performance matters. What's recommended for a processor in the $150-200 range? I probably won't do any overclocking. Is Intel's dual processor and high cache the way to go nowadays or...

graphics comparison

what is the difference between ATIs x200, x300, and x700 video sections (assuming they all have 128mb)? Faster memory? Faster gpu? Different architecture? Or if someone has a link to a breakdown comparison of current available notebook graphic card, that would be most helpful.

While there's tons of "VGA Charts" for desktop graphics cards, I don't think I"ve seen one for laptops. With the rapid rise of laptops as 'desktop replacements', you'd think there'd be a huge demand for comparison charts. Is it just too expensive since laptop graphics cards aren't...

*Newegg sucks* Swan 5.2 Faux BC $339.50/pair + $19.99 shipping (these are speakers)

Why not just get a pair of $50 shielded Polk R15s and a T-Amp to power them? Unless you have a quality source (rare in pc sound), spending 100's on speakers is a little much.

P4 2.4c overclocking potential

Seem like newegg is starting to slip. You'd think they'd get better with the increased competition, not worse. Maybe this is the trickle-down effect of the war, the hurricane, high gas prices, and the fools in the puppet's cabinet that are taking us to new deficit highs lol.

P4 2.4c overclocking potential

I'm new to overclocking and recently found out about the overclocking potential of the p4 2.4c. Now, I have a p4 2.4 (800fsb, 512) but don't know if it's the 'c' version. I thought these models were all 'c's. What's the easiest way to tell without unmounting my heatsink, will cpuid tell me?
