Man, I haven't visited [H] forums in years. Good to see that they've regressed to making fun of the handicapped. It's all fun and games until one of your kids has Down's or Asberger's, and the only way to communicate with them meaningfully is through a tablet.

I had the pleasure of playing L4D2 on that very same 3x2 30" setup while interning at AMD in Sunnyvale this last summer. Though I don't really think this product is going to find much revenue outside of professional graphics applications, it was certainly breathtaking to kill some zombies, drawn...

I have the yellow bit too. I don't think it's anything to worry about; it's just 1.85v is seen as the "stock" value for one reason or another, and it sees 2.10v as an overvolt, even though this is what your ram is rated for. Enjoy your motherboard! Good to hear you weren't plagued with all those...

You're underestimating how the iPods DESIGN was it's key feature. It had the most efficient, unobtrusive controlls (the clickwheel), the simplest interface. It also looked 10x sexier than anything else on the market. Sure, it had no radio, etc... but it was more attractive, and hence desirable...

Do you guys have any links to screenshots of these oblivion mods? I wanna see screenshots before I buy the game. I'm not much for RPG's... I just like to shoot everything that moves, and nothing more complex than that. Maybe CS, but that's pushing it.

Yeah, Flight Sim X has high volume of data to render, not necessarily high detail. But it still looks very, very good on ultra settings, flying in places like the grand canyon or Rio De Janero. It runs at least at 20fps, and that's okay for a flight sim, where you don't get fragged between...

Touché, ray, touché. I might just have to get a second GTX there.

Flight Sim X does grip it by the balls... but it's not so much because of complex geometry or shaders... it's just that when you increase the draw distance and the scenery details, there's a rediculous amount of data it has to draw on screen. Dark Messiah came with the graphics card... I've...

Doom3? You serrious? I played it when it first came out and was moderately impressed at the graphics... now, i'm not too fond of them. Oblivion might be a good call, might have to go and pick that stuff up!

Hey guys, I'm looking for a game to push my new 8800GTX with, and show me what I payed $650 for. Trouble is, I haven't kept track of games at all, been studying in university. Now it's break! Anything that has more bells and whistles than FEAR?

Look for WinACD. It's a sourceforge project which controlls the ACD through the USB connection on it; it should make your buttons work. The 23" ACD does not work as of yet with the 8800GTX. I believe i've fried my ACD trying to get it to work. It's quite bitter. In general, I'm ashamed at...

No, you see, DVI-VGA adapters work like this: your graphics chip has a DVI port. Your monitor connects through VGA. Hence the DVI-VGA adapter. It is not backwards-compatible. What I need is the inverse: my graphics card has a VGA port. My display connects only through DVI. Is there a VGA-DVI...

I have an Apple Cinema Display, 23". It only has DVI input... so I'm SOL if I wanna somehow hook it up to my thinkpad, which only has a VGA output, right?

Tried. No luck.

This new turbocache/hypermemory fad has made the once simple process of finding out how much dedicated video memory you have quite convoluted. I have a mobile X1400, and I know that there are 128mb and 256mb (dedicated) variants. DXDiag and control center report 512mb, which is the available...

Touché. Pardon my smugness, I am just about to graduate and have one of them "i've accomplished something, so I need to read the first 2 words to know" filters before me. Forgive me, fellow [H]omey. I really don't think there's a means to achieve exactly what you want. Perhaps iTunes has...

Don't be afraid to explore the preferences panel. It's really not too daunting. Simply click Edit-->Preferences. If you can't find it from there, go ahead and earn a darwin award.

Yeah, IBM does have quite a large price markup. It goes into largely the name, but also the excellent business-oriented security/setup software, as well as the most reliable building quality in the business. Support also surpasses any other company. So it all depends on how many of those...

I just bought the T60 for my college career, and I couldn't be happier. Here's my Mini-Review of it. Ignore the $2800 pricetag, It's much cheaper now.

Check my thread, Mini T60 review. It has just what you're looking for, including stress test results on the second or third page. Edit: Ah, just realized you were talking about CS:1.6, not CS:S. Trust me, 1.6 can be run on a T60 with far more than 100fps. If you don't believe me, check that...

I had a very good purchase of a ThinkPad T60 by calling lenovo directly and speaking to a rep. They always have some form of custom builds and killer deals that appear as anomolies... e.g. there was one offering the guy told me about that had a second 9-cell battery for merely $25. They can hook...

Does the Intel 945GM support 64-bit extensions? Because that would actually be a reason to upgrade...

But it is not as if the T2500 in the T60's is not sufficient... I mean, it will not be worth the $500 or so that the Merom will sell for. At least, that's my stand on it..

Vertically, the viewing angle is a bit small... could be bigger. Colors are quick to distort if you aren't viewing at 90 degrees.

Damnit! I had no idea they offered 1600x1200 screens! Aaargh, this is the worst type of anger: finding out you should have waited a mere 2 weeks to purchase. Ah well. 15 inch is a bit big, and the 1400x1050 rez on the 14" screen is already crisp enough. It's not worth the tradeoff of battery...

It would be far more than the 9cell battery, but you compromise the DVD drive. Regardless, the option exists, as it should.

"Black is Beautiful" I fully support your decision not to be a common white apple, member of the collective unconscious. Here, apple's profiting off of people's individuality.

I have a single 1gb dimm in my T60. Do you reckon Dual Channel can be enabled with a second one? Cos I was scoping some corsair DDR2 on NewEgg as well...

Smart marketing on Apple's part. People will want to be paramount and go for black. Might as wel make more money from it! You know what they say... once you go black, well... yeah.

Now Now... a lot of apple's tech is ripped off of IBM, for instance their active HD protection.

If you mean buy a SECOND card in hopes of increasing your reception, here's the thing: PCMCIA is not ExpressCard. Rather, ExpressCard is the new, improved format of laptop add-in cards. I believe Macbook Pro only has ExpressCard, and no PCMCIA. Hence, if you want to buy another adapter...

This made my day. It's exam week, I needed this. That thing looks like you get some serrious portability on it. Closing the screen with the heatsinks on must be very "crushing". :D

They're not actually MXM, they're ATi's own modular mobile format named [insert acronym here]. They are not intercompatible, as I recall. Two different e-penis pumps that achieve the same thing.

This MXM concept would have been so perfect if the ATi and nVidia agreed upon a standard. Too bad that was impossible. It would be to their benifit to work together; instead of persuading customers that their form factor is better, agree together on a managable standard and charge...

You'd probably do best with the Dell, then. For equivalent specs, you'd get it MUCH cheaper than IBM, and a little cheaper than Acer. The tradeoff is hardware/software quality, and also support. Acer support is worthless, IBM is among best in the market (they're business oriented, so they...

Like I said in another thread: Regarding 5400 vs 7200 rpm HD's: I used my mother's acer, which has an 80gb 5400rpm, for about 3 months before I got my T60 with 7200rpm. I do Yearbook for my school, and I'm a lead designer, so I manipulate tens of gigabytes of pictures as I batch convert and...
