Hi, I am trying to get the fastest laptop I can on a budget of about $1,500. The problem is that all of the i7 Sandy Bridge laptops I have seen have a discrete GPU. I already have a gaming desktop, and I would like to maximize battery life and minimize size and weight by using integrated...

I currently have a 1TB HDD in my gaming rig. I just picked up a 120GB OCZ SSD from NewEgg, and I would like to move Win 7 over to the SSD. What is the *best* way to do this cleanly, without leaving traces of the old install on the HDD, driver conflicts, etc? I assume I have to completely...

Hi, I have had a pair of DT 770s for approximately 18 months. I travel with them, so I am somewhat rough on them compared to keeping them in the home PC area, but I have not had any major accidents with them and they are holding up well so far. I have been traveling this summer and have been...

Wasn't sure if this should go here or in OSs or Programming. Anyways... I am a die hard Windows user forced to use Mac OS X 10.6.4, but I am adapting. :p I am trying to install the SHOC benchmarking suit to run a GPU benchmark on a Mac desktop for an academic internship. I thought I set up...

Trailer I loved the live action combined with the gameplay. It's hard to tell from the small video what the gameplay or graphics will be like though. I loved the original FEAR - difficult enemies, tight gunplay, scary as hell, and fun. I was a bit disappointed with FEAR 2 - the graphics...

Linked off the CCP Facebook page. I don't know of any other devs who would or could pull this off. Warning: Strong Language HTFU

Hi, I have a Dell Precision M2300 laptop that I play Eve-Online on and occasionally CoD 4 with people in my dorm. The games are smooth on low eye candy. However, the search indexer for windows slows everything to a crawl when it starts automatically. I have tried killing it in the task...

Hi, I am looking to buy a new 24" monitor. I know I want an S-PVA panel since it is a good combination of speed and color plus it has excellent contrast. HDMI would be nice, but it is not required. However, that's about the extent of my knowledge. Due to my housing situation I cannot go...

Hi, I have a problem and a theory for the solution, but I just wanted to run it by you guys since I'm new to this. Thanks in advance, and Cliff Notes are at the bottom. I have a Dell Precision M2300 laptop issued to me by my college. As with most laptops, the sound sucks. I don't even...

Hi, I have a Dell Precision M2300 I use for school. It has a 2.40GHz Core 2 Duo with 3.5GB of RAM. I can run HL2 on it pretty well, but I am concerned about heat buildup. I would like to invest in a laptop cooler. Cooling and reliability are my top concerns, but noise should also be taken...
