    WTB: PC2-5300 DDR2 667MHz 200-pin SO-DIMM laptop RAM 4GB 2x2GB

    Thanks for your interest. I'm going to wait a little bit and see if I can get some PC2-5300, because I'm confident that'll work. I've seen conflicting information about PC2-6400 in this machine. But if I don't get some 5300 soon I may get back to you and give the 6400 a shot. I see that your...

    WTB: PC2-5300 DDR2 667MHz 200-pin SO-DIMM laptop RAM 4GB 2x2GB

    I'm looking for 4GB (matched pair 2x2GB) PC2-5300 SO-DIMM RAM in good working order. It's meant for an early 2009 white Apple Macbook. If I'm still looking and the price is right, I might roll the dice on PC2-6400. Thanks

    Member since 2007, can I please create a thread in For Sale / Trade

    Hello, I've been a member of this forum since 2007 and haven't caused any problems. Can I please use the For Sale / Trade forum normally? How would 38 more random posts make me more qualified to do that?

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Huh? This is the first I've heard that those 2 values are averaged to arrive at the used refresh rate. How do you know that?

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    I already posted documention with specific details. You're assuming way more than I am. I can see you're one of those people who wants to waste my time by inducing me to find and reference information that you'll then just ignore, so I'm not wasting any more time with that. You can re-read my...

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Ok, well thanks for your time and help, I appreciate it. Either of those is possible. It's possible they published the wrong value in the specs and used the wrong value in the EDID. That latter situation is exactly what an INF file that adds these registry entries is supposed to be...

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Really, that's it? I might be reaching the wrong conclusion, but I'm hardly jumping to conclusions. That's why I'm posting references to the information I'm basing my conclusions on, not just throwing out one-liner wild guesses.

    Are post revisions saved?

    I was trying to post a reply to a thread I started and I edited the original post to copy and paste something out. But I accidentally pasted my reply into the edit box and submitted it, replacing the original post with the reply I intended to post. How are you supposed to contact a mod on...

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    How would we decide who's right? No, but this is the only native resolution. It's also only supposed to specify data that needs to override the EDID. I think it's supposed to use them a particular way. I think it's not using them at all. How do you suggest it is / is supposed to use...

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Yes, but the data in the INF / registry is specific to resolution. It specifies a vertical refresh range of 56-76Hz specifically for 1680x1050 (see my OP). If the monitor can't actually do > 60Hz at 1680x1050, that's an error by Dell.

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Maybe, maybe not. I'm not totally convinced that's true -- their own INF specifies up to 76Hz at 1680x1050.

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Thanks for your reply. It's possible that I never actually had this running at 75Hz before, but I feel confident it's not an issue of cable quality since if it was running at 75Hz before it was the same cable the day before. Thanks for going to the trouble of finding and linking that stuff...

    Can't change monitor refresh rate in Windows 7 Home Premium

    Thanks for this info, it's really helpful to know that CRU is legit in case I want to go that route. Thanks for doing that. I see that in some info too. Even so, let's just say for the sake of argument that 60Hz is the max it can actually handle at 1680x1050, that still doesn't explain why...

    Do you use or keep enabled "System Restore"? (Windonws 7)

    In years of Windows use, I've hardly ever used System Restore. But I did just use it yesterday. I recently changed a machine from XP to Win 7 Home Premium and I disabled automatic updates right off the bat. Yesterday I rebooted the machine and all of a sudden Windows was trying to automatically...
