    Hp DV6000t VS. Dell E1505

    For programming, the 1680x1050 resolution is ideal. Wish HP allowed users to choose that or at least the 1440x900 display on the dv6000...

    HP DV2000T Vs. Thinkpad T60, usage experience?

    ditto...get the T60...widescreen if possible. The ultranav is just craploads better than touchpads and the keyboard is lots better.

    ASUS S96J notebook

    The A8Js also is unfortunately $1500 at least...and is more like $1800 after you add more memory, bluetooth, etc. :-P

    What kind of laptop can I get for about $1000?

    One negative w/ the dv2000t is the 12-cell battery sticks out quite a bit, and it's not symmetric...so you put it in your lap and it's lopsided :-P The other negative is it doesn't come w/ higher resolution screens...you're stuck w/ 1200x800. It'd be nice if you could get 1440x900 on it if you...

    A8JS or TM8210

    In that case, what I said applies. Basically, those graphics chips don't have enough horsepower to drive that 1680x1050 display at much faster than about 40 fps. You'll end up running the game at a lower resolution and having it scale up the image so it'll look somewhat fuzzier or use less of...

    A8JS or TM8210

    If you're getting the WXGA+ version of the travelmate, ignore the pixel doubling comment. I thought you were getting the WSXGA+ (1680x1050 vs. 1440x900) version. Both should be similar speeds.

    A8JS or TM8210

    The TravelMate is probably better built...that's a really confusing Newegg description...claims it has WXGA at the top but then the tech specs below it says it has WSXGA+. Depends what you'll do w/ it. For regular use and some gaming, the Travelmate is better (unless you pixel double because...

    looking for a laptop recommendation

    Just remember to get the extended warrantee. I realize they are great value and have recommended them to customers on that basis, but that came back to bite me 1 month out of warrantee (it was the older Inspiron 5150)...there are various posts from people who had similar problems just out of...

    D620 or D820 screen problems...

    The D620 did seem like best bang for buck for a 1440x900 resolution 14" laptop in the $1100-1200 range, but I'm glad the OP brought up the crappy screen issue. The nearest other thing I've found is the Asus A8Js for around $1500 but it won't be here until next month. Only other choice on my...

    Looking for INTEL / AM2 board that would support ECC memory

    As you've found out, AMD chips have a built-in memory controller and it supports ECC natively. However, the motherboard's BIOS also has to support this. I'm running a $90 Asus A8N CSM motherboard (socket 939) w/ 2GB of Kingston ECC memory and Linux software RAID1 w/o problems...

    A few questions about "gaming" laptop's.

    I've been looking for the same thing...almost exactly an HP dv2000z w/ better graphics as a $100 upgrade, but I've had no luck finding it... :-P The Asus Z92T looks like a possibility, but it's going to be around $1500 and I can't find it anywhere in the US :-(

    Which AM2 board do I get?!%#%#!%

    nice summary. The Asus is also the only mATX AM2 (and it's previous CSM 939 brother) that supports ECC memory (the AMD chips have built-in support, but you need BIOS support).

    Turion 64 X2 Paper Launch?

    Plus you can find the HP dv2000z and Compaq version and the Acer at Circuit City, Best Buy, Office Depot. Not bad at all. Only problem I have is the HP dv2000z apparently doesn't support 4GB of memory (the Acer does but it uses the ATI X1100 graphics chip). The HP nx6325 No sign of the...

    Turion X2 laptops w/ 4GB+ max memory?

    I thought I was all set on the HP dv2000z but I found out the 2GB memory limitation is physical rather than only what HP sells currently. Looks like the HP nx6325 support 4GB of memory, but it's $400 more than the dv2000z :-( The Acer Turion X2 laptop supports 4GB of memory but it's stuck...

    Radeon Xpress 1100 vs. Geforce Go 6150

    Anyone ever see a benchmark comparison of these two for 3D games and HD video display (can the X1100 display 1080p which the 6150 can't do)? I'm trying to compare the Acer 5100 w/ the HP DV2000Z/DV2035US, although I'm hoping the Core 2 Duos come out soon too :-) One other weird thing I...

    Buying a Laptop - anyone have Fingerprint reader?

    That's what I thought as well...it's tied into encryption of the drive at a hardware level. No clue if others do this, but would love to find a less expensive alternative with better graphics hardware than the Thinkpads... :-)

    turion x2 prices haven't dropped w/ the AMD pricecut?

    Asus A8N-VM CSM Raid 1 - OS install needs Driver?

    Man, this sounds like it's more pain than it's worth...I'm glad I'm using Linux software RAID instead ;-) Ever think about finding the least expensive hardware RAID card you can find ($200-300 for decent performance) and using that? :-) Only other thing I can think of is to try slipstreaming...

    Asus A8N-VM CSM Raid 1 - OS install needs Driver?

    I'm not sure why you can't set the RAID bootable in the BIOS either. You don't say which version of the Asus CSM BIOS you have...there was a bad 0506 BIOS a while back that made RAID non-bootable (hosed a lot of people who were using it as a mediaPC). The only other thing I can think of is...

    Asus A8N-VM CSM Raid 1 - OS install needs Driver?

    That's because nForce RAID is not true hardware raid, but "fakeraid" (google if you're curious). You have to load a driver into Windows before it sees the drives as RAID 1...a real hardware raid doesn't need the driver (the driver is only needed to do hotfail, config, etc. from the OS). Yes...

    "RAID 0/1/0+1" vs "NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD"

    AFAIK, none of the workstation boards w/ "built-in" RAID have true hardware RAID...only server level boards do and even then, not all of them (lots of them even have fakeRAID SCSI suppport). A real hardware RAID solution needs its own processor and memory, etc, so it'll run an extra $200-300 by...

    "RAID 0/1/0+1" vs "NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD"

    The driver is to let the hardware RAID flag errors to the operating system and let the OS control the card, but isn't required for booting. The operating system just sees the RAID drives as a single big drive once you use the BIOS to configure the RAID set. If you delete the nvraid driver from...

    "RAID 0/1/0+1" vs "NV RAID 0/1/0+1 JBOD"

    any more info on DFI 6150 mATX motherboard?

    that is indeed an odd spot to put it in. The doubly weird thing is they put the 24pin power plug in different spots on the 6100 and 6150 boards. Almost like two design teams did each one and they didn't talk to each other :-P

    mset: ECC is only if you use it as a web/file server or something else where you don't want any data corruption at all (memory bit rot). You might notice an app crash occasionally if it does happen and you don't have ECC. As for your answer, in your quest for a dual LCD monitor, the MSI or...
