    Laptop for College Choice

    /shrug I have the M1710 and love it. Forget these desktop/laptop guys, the m1710 is both a laptop AND a desktop if you have it set up the way I do :P I have a dock with an external hard drive, TV tuner, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and external monitor plugged in to it. When I've got the...

    Cant seem to find the XPS M140.

    Dell stopped selling it because it doesn't live up to the XPS name... it has integrated graphics for goodness sakes.

    HOT: 16GB BusLink USB flash drive @ CompUSA

    Because the 16GB drive is not much bigger than the 2GB drive. IT costs more money to cram data into smaller spaces. If you'd like a 16GB flash drive that's a stack of 8 flash drives put together, then you might as well get a portable hard drive lol.

    M90 vs XPS M170

    Why not just wait for the new XPS? Should be out soon (I hope). That's what I'm doing.

    Am I stuck at 9-12 FPS in WoW on my Compaq V2000?

    I seriously doubt the extra ram will keep you at a stable 20fps. It will definitely make load times faster, but your real bottleneck is the video card.

    Ferrari Memory Question

    DDR2 will not work in a DDR machine. You can use any speed of DDR memory as long as it is above or equal to the current speed of your DDR as it will run at that speed regardless of what it is rated for.

    which laptop to get..

    I don't think the alienware or the voodoo have INTERNAL tuners. External tuners are offered, just as they are offered with the DELL XPS M170. So all three fit that requirement if external is fine, if internal is what you want I think the Toshiba Qosimo is about it.

    2001FP Owners: Help me out with custom settings.

    I had the same problem. The first thing I did is set the color to 40/40/40 RBG and set brightness to 0, and gradually moved it up. I had serious headaches and eyestrain for about a week, and then got used to it. Now, about six months later, no problems. I love the panel! :D (BTW I have my...

    Colour Profiling / Calibration (2001fp)

    Use Adobe Quick Gamma and make your own. (which is what I did). If you want mine I can email it to you, but I have my monitor set to custom color settings (45r 45b 45g)

    Maximum life of a CRT?

    I turned off my CRTs every night (they are in my room and I don't shut down computer). I had one last for something close to ten years (it was a graphics professional CRT, 17") and I replaced it about three years ago. The monitor I bought three years ago still works perfectly, but I sold...

    ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0

    I have one and although it works almost as well as my TV (reception isn't quite as good) it is a grouchy thing. Any time there is a power outage or it gets moved around too much it won't work with ATI's software (I have to keep plugging it in and out on the unit itself, both power and usb cable...

    Dell 2001FP Color settings

    100. That's just backlight brightness anyway (the light behind the lcd). I'd think that would be more dependant on your room lighting, I think it looks fine at anywhere from 50-100, it's not a huge difference.

    Dell 2001FP Color settings

    The driver is installed, I am using DVI. The Normal Preset seems too dim as well as too warm for me. Changing it from Normal to 45 / 45 / 45 makes it look much better on my monitor. Try changing it and tell me what you think.

    Dell 2001FP Color settings

    Just out of curiousity, what do you guys have your 2001FP's color settings as? I keep hearing how it is great out of the box in reviews, but I can't seem to get my colors to display accurately with any of the default profiles. I have mine set to User Adjusted, 45 Blue, 45 Red, and 45 Green.

    Just got a 2001fp, wanted a 2005fpw.

    I had a choice between the 2001FP and 2005FPW, and I ended up choosing the 2001Fp for my christmas gift. Don't forget that the 2001 has more viewable area than the 2005, as well as greater compatability with games. Widescreen is cool and new, but watching DVDs in letterbox is something I have...

    Compensating for huge monitor

    I love my 2001FP at 1600x1200. It allows me to do higher resolution graphics work more easily, and also to play games at higher resolutions which makes everything look nicer. If I wanted my resolution to be status symbol, I could have just cranked my old 19" CRT (which is actually only about...

    ASUS V9999 Gamer Ed-- with Apple 30" on PC???

    if you look, it says: "The two external TMDS transmitters in the reference GeForce 6800 Ultra design require one comment. We guess that these two chips work in parallel in this reference card in order to output a digital signal in the QUXGA resolution (3200x2400) through the DVI interface...

    Shielded AC Cables, Line Conditioners, & Voltage Stabilizers...

    Specifically which kind of cables? I am not exactly an expert in the video area stuff, it's more in audio that I know the brands pretty well. edit: if you can get monster cable cheap, then do it. It's pretty good stuff, just way overpriced.

    Shielded AC Cables, Line Conditioners, & Voltage Stabilizers...

    First off, Monster Cable is good... but not worth the money. There are better products out there for the money. Also, it won't make a huge difference but if you have interference problems it will help. Personally, for my high end audio equipment I use hospital grade (green dot) power cords...
