So here I am having ordered an upgrade for my old computer ([email protected], NF7-S v2.0, 2x512MB Corsair XMS3200LL, Radeon 9800 Pro). I ended up with: - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo - Abit KN8-Ultra NF4-Ultra - POV Geforce 7800GT I was thinking I would use my 2x512MB Corsair XMS3200LL to...

That is hilarious ... :D

Use an external USB or Firewire chassis for 2.5" HDD. Newegg and other vendors ought to have them.

Looks like a nice well rounded laptop for college. I think I would go for the upgrade if I were you. Not so much for the HDD space (that you can upgrade yourself later), a 1.8GHz Dothan is gonna last you a long time IMHO.

A Canon EOS-300D here. Like it a lot so far.

Hey, a fresh install can do wonders eh? :D

That would be a 1.5GHz Pentium M (not 4-M) if it´s a Dell Inspiron 600m The Pentium Ms are both powerful and have low power consumtion. I estimate that a 1.5GHz P-M could go neck-to-neck with a 2.0-2.2GHz Pentium 4. Generally I have only heard good things about the 600m. Nice combination of...

The only "standard" size I seem to find at my local hardware store is 76mm and it works nicely for me.

I have just bought a used Dell Latitude C400 and it has a pcmcia 3Com 802.11a/b/g wifi card w/ X-jack antenna. When I installed some RAM in the memory slot under the keyboard, I noticed that I have a mini-pci slot under there too and it has two wires beside it. I have indentified these wires as...

It may be a bit old, but it's new to me. It's gonna be my new little companion for regular work, MP3 listening and wifi networking on the go. My precioussss .... :D Specs: Dell Latitude C400 Intel Pentium III-M 1.2GHz 512kB Tualatin 512MB PC-133 SDRAM 12.1" screen @1024x768...

I have been looking at the Dell Latitude L400: PIII-M 700MHz, 128MB (256MB max), 12.1" screen (1024x768). I think this would fit your bill. After some time I got my hands on a almost new Dell Latitude C400 with a PIII-M 1.2GHz, 256MB (now 512MB, max 1GB), 12.1" screen (1024x768) and a 3COM...

I have my old NIC and Floppy are still around here somewhere and used from time to time.

So what do learn from this? Don´t drink and fold? :p

I have seen PCMCIA cards and HDD chassis for external SATA connection. Card HDD Chassi I haven´t seen any test of it, but I figure you´ll need a fairly decent computer to benefit from tha SATA connection.

I was relatively late on to the PC scene. First computer was a Commodore 64, but my first PC was an Intel PIII 500MHz, 128MB, S3 Savage 4 Compaq thingy. Yes, you read Compaq ... :o After that I built them myself.

Got my NEC-2500A today have churned out a couple +Rs at 8x speed. No problems whatsoever. I will keep my Plextor 48x though for regular CD-Rs.

I really like the way one can alter the configuration. I might get one when it's available to replace my black Chieftec Dragon.

Perhaps an IBM T41 with a 128MB ATI FireGL T2? Professional enough for most people ... :p

I own a couple of the 7200.7s. One 80GB IDE, a 160GB IDE and a 160GB SATA. Never had any problems with them what so ever. All my rigs (except lappy) are equipped with some flavour of Seagate HDD. To me a Seagate HDD is a good, reliable choice that offers reasonable performance, low noise and...

I have replaced my old Hitachi 30GB in my Inspiron 8100 with a new Hitachi 5k80 80GB 5400rpm and have never experienced any problems what so ever. Noticed a slight increase in performance, but the main reason for the upgrade, was the larger capacity.

These are taken late December in Kosovo with a Canon EOS 300D:
