Better Laptop choice for gaming?

it's mostly for some light gaming, but I do want it to be able to run Doom 3/HL2/maybe FEAR decently well. I also configured an ABS Eclipse model for ~1100 dollars with the following upgrades AMD Turion MT-34(512k cache to 1 mb cache) 1024 DDR333 Do y'all think that's a good deal?

Win98 Problem

I'm having a real problem with my Win98SE system. Basically when I try to shutdown my computer, the system hangs at the "windows is now shutting down your computer" screen. So basically, every time I shut down my computer, I do so when it's not "ready" to do so. How can I fix this win98se...

GF2 Pro to Radeon 8500LE Users - Opnions?

hmm...I made a decision to switch from my old Nvidia card to a Radeon 8500LE 128MB....in short, I kinda regret it. It may just be me, but this card has caused me nothing but headaches from day one, despite numerous driver releases and the like....If I were you, I'd buy the 4200...even if it...

What Nvidia card to get?

hmm...I'm not too keen on O/Cing...I have a feeling that it may have been O/Cing that killed my past Nvidia Card(MSI geforce 3 TI200 O/Ced at 220/500)....is it worth waiting for the cheaper version of the Geforce FX?(note: I have no plans to run games at any resolution higher than 1024x768, and...

What Nvidia card to get?

sorry, I may be coming off as severely biased against ATI, but given the trememndous struggle that I've just had with my 8500, I don't think I"ll ever buy another ATI card.... Will Nvidia do anything to optimize the performance for the Geforce FX? by all benchmarks, the Geforce only beats the...

What Nvidia card to get?

hmm.....how long do you think a Geforce 4 TI4600 will last me?(will it get me what I want? i.e., be able to run UT2k3 and U2 at 1024x768, all details on, at 30FPS or higher?), will it be able to handle Doom 3 decently well? What's it's lifetime? My Specs: Athlon XP2000+(at 1.7ghz) 512 DDR333...

What Nvidia card to get?

Here's the basic outline of my dilemma: Basically, after a year of monkeying with my ATI Radeon 8500LE trying to get it to run games, I've given up. I'm selling this POS card and getting some solid, reliable hardware(or at least more reliable hardware), namely, Nvidia stuff. Now, I have...

Radeon 8500LE Bios?

Hey peeps, here's the potential problem: I've found a place where I can D/L bioses for my RadeonLE 8500, but I'm kinda worried. A lot of the older Bioses(but the better ones as shown in Rage3d's tests) are for plain old Radeon 8500s with 64MB of ram...but I have a RadeonLE 8500 with 128MB...If...

64MB GF3 or 128MB Radeon 8500LE?

how about the drivers? I've just been talking with my friends, and they say that despite all that ATI's done, their drivers still aren't very compatible with games, unlike Nvidia. What's the deal?

64MB GF3 or 128MB Radeon 8500LE?

Thanks for the help, but I've heard that the Radeon 8500LE(when O/Ced to stock Radeon 8500 speeds) can compete with the GF4 TI4200 on some points, whereas I haven't heard how the GF3 performs in comparison to the GF4....also, by reading some people's posts, it seems that the Radeon 8500LE's...
