I know previous gen cards were capable of being softmodded and could then run on the FireGL drivers, allowing for full support of OpenGL and what not, which is vital to what I do... unfortunately... really whats going on is I have dual 3870s and they are brilliant with games but garbage with...

I have my wifi card between my two 3870s on a P5B Deluxe Wifi, works just fine.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into softmodding them I guess... Hope there's something out there! If anybody has any info on such matters, dont hesitate to mention it please :-)

I hate to blatantly bump my post... But I really need help on this... does anybody have any insight? Thanks again...

I just got a Lenovo T61p. It's 15.4" 1680*1050 with up to a 2.6ghz c2d. Mine is a 2.4 with 2GB of ram. The real selling point is a 256mb Quadro card. On a laptop, especially one of this size/weight, this is a thing of beauty. I took it to a LAN party recently and it kept up with the competing...

Ok, heres the deal... I use sketchup ALL the time. Im a Landscape Architecture student and use it for almost all of my projects. That being said, here's my dilema. I recently bought a Lenovo T61p with a 256mb Quadro card. It runs sketchup fantastically fast. After noticing this performance...

Not sure if you've ever used it, but you could use style XP (free download) and load up the Panther pre-made theme. makes your PC look all OSX-ish, even comes with the blue-line background that you always see in the stores :) There is also a program called Aquadock that imitates the launcher...

sheesh...people are getting grouchy now :( Why does everyone think im running some huge high power system? itll be somewhere around 150 watts, 20-23 amps i think. anyway, i think that about sums up the usefullness of this thread. thanks for everyones input -Lucid

True that a laptop would be a easier solution, but i already have one of those :p If i can do this and its under the size of a current mid tower or so, and weighs less than 40 lbs id b content. no word as of yet from the Lithium Ion company, lil slow in their responses. And yea, if i can do it...

Lmao, nice..... id be so stylin with that belt :p Interms of getting the batteries, i emailed a company that makes custom litium ion packs from panasonic cells. im sure they'd have some kind of charging solution for it as well. I dont know how much it would cost, weight, or how bi git would...

Alright, after all that i think i could get about...45 minutes out of a 20amphour batt. If i can find a reasonable lithium ion battery that would do that, id be satisified. if not, then i scratch the project :D thanks for the help everyone, still have no idea how id wire it if i were to do it...

80mm fan is 80mm accross. Take a piece of sheet metal, make an 80mm square. then cut out from the square any which way you like as long as the 4 corners are connected in some form or fashion :D Make sure you look at all the pre-mod ones if you have something more complex in mind, youd be...

Yea, but i want an hour at least...not just 10-15 minutes :( very good idea though :)

ATM this is all acedemic, hence talking to all of you instead of just setting in and building it. Laptops are portable systems trying to be desktops, i want this to be a desktop that tries to be a portable. Anyway, in terms of power needs, ive calculated that with something simular to what...

And just for the record, i already have a centrino 1.8ghz dothan Tablet, this is suposed to not be a laptop :D
