Im looking at HP notebooks and the prices are really great. The 17' inch models allow for RAID 0 with two 80GB 5400RPM HDs, and I dont know how much of an upgrade thats going to be over getting an aftermarket travelstar 7K100, please comment.

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Obviously I plan on using a 64bit OS, so the 8GBs will be seen and well managed. @EQTakeOffense and mikeblas Yall make some very valid points. I do agree that I would probably benefit the most from more RAM, because the overall boost in performance...

Im getting a E6600 and probably an MSI Platinum X, its a good price but its still debatable, dont want any Gigabyte Mobos cause they have compatibility issues with the Mushkin RAM i want. The MAIN Apps I plan on using are Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Visual Studio. Secondary apps will...

dude, from all the benchmarks ive seen, DDR2 1000 is a waste of money, unless you can overclock your FSB well over 400MHz

Well, can you comment on the video playback, is it any good?

Sorry to bother you DangerIsGo, but could you review the question I posted a few messages ago. Im about ready to order and would really appreciate your input on whether I should go ahead with the BenQ or stick with the Sony SDM-P234?

By the way, i plan on doing image editing and web development, as well as video and 3d creationg mixed with some gaming and internet use.

I have the BenQ FP241W currently on my shopping cart in Newegg, priced at $799 with $16 shipping, making it just $45 more expensive than the Sony SDM-P234 I was planning on getting. That $45 is buying me a slimmer Bezel, HDMI inputs(HDCP compliant) and an inch thicker so I guess its a good...

screw this, im just going to get a P180 and deal with this crap later. I got motherboards and RAM sticks to pick.

I swear im not lazy, id just rather do research on other things. And to be quite honest, I lied, sadly I find myself doing research on this. frozencpu offers acoustic dampening for 40 bucks, thats pretty interesting. Im currently looking at thermaltake cases and the sonata case looks pretty...

I must confess, Im currently doing research for my next PC and I really want a great looking case with excellent cooling, but most of all, looks. Im a little bored with this and dont really want to do too much research, since case modding is a bit of a chore. Anyway, Im thinking of getting...

Thanks for clarifying the acronym. Learn something new everyday. Here are the benchmarks so you can understand the difference in power between a consumer card and a pro card in visual apps. http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=3321&page= You can easily see how...

pwn? sorry, dont understand what those initials mean.

I know, thanks for replying but I dont need a video card recommendation, I stated in the linked thread that id probably be getting a X1900XT since its the best card for its price. $240 for the the best card under $300 is good enough for me. I just wanted someone to help analyze those scores...

Hello everybody, I am concluding my research for my video card purchase... no onto the other 10 computer components :mad: For an intro to what I am trying to set up, check out this thread I posted. Dont worry its not very long, and youll understand what Im doing, and how freakin sweet its...
