I've run source (Half-Life 2) on an Nvidia 6100 laptop, and it worked great. It was low settings, i think like 720x480 or 1024x600, but it was getting 30-60fps, and completely playable. That was paired with a Turion X2 1.6ghz and 1.5gb RAM in Windows XP. I'd imagine the 4500mHD could handle...

fuertetwo, are you sure it's not a driver problem? have you tried a linux live disc just to see? if it's not a driver issue and actually is a hardware problem, not sure what to tell you. It does have the ExpressCard54 slot (not PCMCIA) not sure if you knew that. if you did, sorry to state...

Is the hard drive dead? If the drive has died, Vista install will often report that it cannot find it or needs a driver to do so. Had it happen on an HP laptop I fixed.

The QL series are S1g2. No go. The highest I would go with that laptop is a TL-56 or -58. (1.8 and 1.9 ghz respectively). Much higher than that and the heat would likely become an issue, as would power draw.

Quick Update: I did the Aluminum Foil fix for the graphics card heat pipe and applied some silver thermal paste for my TL-56. Temps stay rock steady at 61-64*C on the GPU when you're not doing anything 3D intensive, up to 82*C when under load. It cools off VERY quickly once it's not being...

All the Eee PC models I have seen (I own a 900) have an SD card reader. It works reasonably fast.

Excellent. Once I get my student loan stuff set up, I'll probably spring for one. What drivers are you using then? the XT5300T has an 8600, so I am not sure your will work for me... I've got the Dox Customized 185.65 for XP from www.laptopvideo2go.com

Hey all - Just wanted to throw in my thanks to all of you. I've been reading this thread since day 1, waaaaay back, just never had much to add. First started reading it when I was researching the XT5000T to buy off Newegg. Specifically thanks to TANWare for that file mirror; you are a...
