Where? I'd really like to avoid using Dell's stupid "Media Experience" junk. :)

It turns out I just went into the Device Manager in the Control panel and had Windows install its own generic driver, and then the USB worked fine. Just comes to show that even Dell's "essential" drivers aren't very, well, essential. :rolleyes: Not sure what they mean about "Pentium M...

Has anyone who did a fresh install of Windows XP had problems installing the "Dell Notebook System Software" driver? All the other drivers worked fine but this one keeps saying it "doesn't support this operating system" when I try to install. I asked Dell tech support and they gave me the usual...

It says MSI 815E Pro (MS-6337). I used this computer a while ago and the CMOS and such were certainly in English. Must have been the evil garage spirits...

Well actually, discharging the CMOS did get rid of the password thing, but I can't find any language option. I managed to get WIndows 98 to (kinda) start, and everything there was in English. It searched for drivers for "unknown device" and then immmediately gave me the BSOD, which was in this...

So I salvaged this really old Pentium III out of my garage, and turn it on to see this... :confused: Discharging the CMOS doesn't fix it...

Agreed.

From what I hear, they have very good warranty support. And they do make most of their own laptops.

Just out of curiousity, what programs do you need to overclock your PDA for?

eMachines really isn't that bad (anymore). Most people in this forum will agree that for your price range the 68xx series can't be beat.

I was going to get a Ferrari 3200, but then I saw this: http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=29469 The 4750 looks very promising. 17" widescreen and up to a 3400 and 2 gigs of RAM. And no lousy 4200 RPM hard drive. Wait till the 15th and take a look before buying a Ferrari.

The eMachines 680x is definitely the best bang for your buck for a desktop replacement. The 6810 goes for $1500 before rebates.

Pretty colors! :D

Definitely go with the Athlon64. It might be harder to OC though.

My dad has a Dell 8300. They use plain Intel mobos, but they also have cheap non-name brand RAM.

Go to www.rojakpot.com. There's a guide there with everything you'll need.

Uh... you sure about that? ;)

It's interesting how IBM describes it on their ThinkPad purchase thing as "airbag-like." I can't see how stopping the heads relates to airbags...

They definitely have some impressive stuff, but at truly exborbitant prices. It's interesting that their products haven't been reviewed by many hardware sites (in English, anyway). Personally, if I had the money for such ultra high-end systems I would go with something well known like Voodoo...

I'd go for a Tungsten. My mother is a lot like your father in terms of technical expertee, and she's been using a Tungsten to organize her contacts and stuff without any real problems. (aka, less "tech support" on my part)

Nevermind. Through trial and error I figured out that the orange plug actually corresponds with the black, and the black plug corresponds with the orange.

I have the same speakers and mobo as you and I'm having the exact same problem. What exactly did you do to fix it?

The Lanboy doesn't have very good airflow. I had to drill a side blowhole in mine.

Just curious. Where did you hear that? Is there a release date on the mobile X800 already?

Ew. Is that an iBook?

Agreed.

I know it's pretty early to be asking this, but does anyone have any info about Intel's plans for Centrino (or anything, for that matter) laptops with PCI-Express graphics? After ATI and nVidia's announcements about modular graphics, everything went quiet.

Simply awesome.

Look for one on eBay or something. ;)

^ Probably not...

Very cool. The side panel looks great. What tools did you use to cut it?
