    T400 for Law School

    Sort of off-topic, but how was the patent bar exam? From what I have been led to believe, you definitely need a B.S. in order to attract offers for patent work. Is this true? Is it possible for a tech savvy individual with a B.A. to take the patent bar exam?

    T400 for Law School

    Thanks PurduEE, I am definitely on board with your suggestions. I will only be getting a 14.1" monitor, and I am definitely NOT trying to build it as a gaming computer. Perhaps I will eventually purchase a netbook as well, depending on my experience with the Lenovo. P.S. My goal is to...

    Last question before I pull the trigger: Do you think that 3gigs will give a noticeable performance increase over the 2gigs? Is it worth the extra 30-40dollars?

    T400 for Law School

    So do you think it makes more sense to get a 14.1 WXGA+ TFT CCFL monitor or an WXGA TFT LED monitor for 17 dollars more? If there is not real difference between CCFL and LED, then wouldnt it be preferable to have the increased resolution? Furthermore, would the computer even be able to handle...

    Interesting, well I guess I need to find out whether or not Lenovo's "upgrade" is an OEM or a reusable Retail version of Win7.

    T400 for Law School

    With respect to Windows7, I am essentially asking whether or not it makes sense to pay 40 dollars more for an OEM windows7 for the laptop and then buy two more OEM's for my other comps, or to buy a multilicense and install on all of the computers.

    T400 for Law School

    What do you think about Lenovo's upgrade to Win7 deal? Is it worth it to spend an extra 40$ to get an upgrade to Windows7 given the fact that I plan to upgrade all (3) of my computers to Windows7? In addition, would I see a big performance jump from 2gb to 3gb (both in 2dim)? Worth the...

    I have a Western Digital 3.5" SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 32 MB Cache 1 Terrabyte. I have not tried a fresh install of the OS. Is my best bet for enhanced playback a higher quality single unit graphics card?

    How to best upgrade?

    I went to microcenter today to talk with one of the hardware guys and was informed that crossfire will NOT help with video encoding (running h.264 on a 50inch plasma). Is this true, or is he simply talking out of his ass?

    How to best upgrade?

    Is there any reason to go with a 1gb 4870, such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102801, over a 512mb 4870, such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129113, given my current build?
