    Is it worth swapping XP Media Center for XP Pro on my lappy?

    Just got a Dell M1210 and it has XP Media Center pre-installed. Is it worth the hassle to swap to XP Pro (I own this already) or is Media Center equally as good? Thanks.

    I was definitely going to get a T60, but now i am almost sure i want an XPS M1210

    BTW, this is the m1210 I got for $1219. Couldn't find another comperable "ultra Portable" in this price range that shared these features: XPS M1210 Notebook: Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 (2GHz/667MHz FSB) Genuine Windows XP Media Center 2005 Windows Media Player 8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl...

    I was definitely going to get a T60, but now i am almost sure i want an XPS M1210

    I just ordered the XPS 1210 to replace my i9300 (which I LOVE, but it's just not practical to carry around). I have had ZERO problems with my 9300 and have very much enjoyed using it. The build quality is very good, the layout is superb and it's refreshing to be able to swap components on a...

    Opinions of the Dell Inspiron 9300 series?

    Hi All, Looking at the Dell Inspiron 9300 as a replacement for my trusty desktop machine. I have read the reviews, but prefer a "real world" opinion as many reviews are biased. Spec would be: 1.7 Ghz Pentium M 1 GB DDR 2 @ 533 mhz Nvidia GeForce 6800 Go 256mb WUXGA 17" screen 8x DVD RW...

    What are the disadvantages of going completely cellular?

    Got tired of spending $45 a month just to hang a phone on my wall so I have been land line free for 3 years. It appears the only thing I am *missing* is the endless sales calls I used to get on my land line. Best move I ever made...

    What is the best piece of computer hardware you have ever purchased?

    Just wondering what your best "Bang for the buck" piece of hardware is? To date the absolute king of my "Bang for the buck" world has been my AMD XP 1700b that I got from shimmishim for $50. It is still going strong and running anywhere from 11.5 x 180 (2,070mhz) to 12 x 200 (2,400 mhz)...

    DIY vs PrePackaged (Dell)

    I am by no means one of the true experts on this board, but maybe that makes my perspective more like yours. Before I found Anandtech I would NEVER have considered a DIY as an option. I was a DELL guy all the way. It was a case of not knowing what you don't know. I have built 3 DIY computers...

    Mixing DDR Modules and Overclocking...???

    PHEW, just read the ENTIRE thread regarding memory. It was REALLY LOOOONG and I learned a few things, but I still have a question. I am currently running one 512mb stick of Corsair XMS PC3500. I am going to add two 256mb Sticks of Mushkin Level 2 PC 3200 (cas2-2-2). Should I be...

    Upgrade CPU or ADD RAM?

    Excellent suggestion. Yeah, my XP1700 will do 2200 on stock voltage, air cooled. It's a beast! Your idea makes perfect sense, as my MoBo will be the limiting factor soon enough (not being able to accept anything higher than a T-Bred 2700+ anyway) Thanks for the replies everyone.

    Upgrade CPU or ADD RAM?

    Actually I paid $175 for the card, but I will be selling my GF4 Ti4400 to offset that somewhat. I know, I know...I should have waited for the 6600, but oh well...live and learn. The 5950U should last me a while anyways. (and don't even talk to me about the 9800 pro...sigh!) Yeah, my little...

    In hindsight, what was the best purchase you made?

    In order: #1: XP1700 B T-Bred that I got for $50. It has run at XP2400+ (at 40c no less) for over a year with no issues...That's a ~600Mhz o/c !!!! #2: Lian Li Pc-60 Case...will be with me forever. No better case to work with and it's PERTY too. #3: LeadTek GF4 Ti4400. Running at 300/600...

    Upgrade CPU or ADD RAM?

    Hi All, Just picked up a 256MB FX5950 Ultra (mostly to play D3) to replace my 128MB Ti4400 and am thinking I might want to upgrade either the CPU or add another 256MB of RAM as those points look to be the next real bottleneck. I am currently running my T-Bred XP1700 CPU (the BEST cpu I have...

    Opinions on the Gainward 5950 Ultra

    pretty close ;) just a tad under..and factor in selling off my GF 4 Ti for around $75 or so, this will really be a bargain. Oh, last question...is there REALLY a big deal with 256MB v 128MB on the Card? The 5950 U has 256MB, but I am not sure if that will give any true performance...

    Opinions on the Gainward 5950 Ultra

    Gotcha. Thanks for the reply. I couldn't pass up the deal and it seemed like the 5950 Ultra would get me through a year or two without me having to upgrade. Heck, I am on year TWO with my GF4 ti4400 and it's still running like a champ! Best card I have ever purchased (to date). Just...

    Opinions on the Gainward 5950 Ultra

    why, because I got a great deal on the 5950 Ultra (a LOT less than a 9800 Pro). So are you saying that the 5950U can't utilize DX 9.0 correctly in general or just on the specified games you listed?

    Opinions on the Gainward 5950 Ultra

    Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has any opinions about the performance of the 5950 Ultra GPU. I am currently running a GF4 ti4400 128MB and have a Gainward 5950 Ultra 256mb on the way to me. Test benches I have read suggest that it's on par w/ the high end ATI offerings (9800 pro) but I am...

    NEW Video card or New CPU

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Can't quite swing the cost of the 6800, so I am thinking 5900 (not XT) from the AT FS forum or 9800 pro is the way to go. Decisions, Decisions.. Thanks again!

    NEW Video card or New CPU

    You tell me? I have limited ATI experience other than reading multiple posts throughout the years regarding driver issues. Always gone with nvidia (well, except for my old 3DFX) for ease of setup and O/C and never had an issue. Also, I understood that Doom 3 is optimized for the Nvidia...

    NEW Video card or New CPU

    Keeping in mind that I have my XP1700 currently running at xp2400 speeds I am hoping to get a bit more mileage out of the ol' girl. My only consideration on the CPU was that by being O/C'd to a fair degree was the strain from Doom 3 taxing it too much in it's O/C state? Looks like the video...
