It will look better than the composite video I am using now which is 480i. With VGA I can do 480p.

I want to connect my Wii to my Dell 2007WFP's VGA input. As far as I know these are my best options: vdigi wii to vga cable OR vdigi component to vga transcoder What is the difference in quality between these two options? I was leaning more towards the transcoder because I can...

Mine is a rev A04, and the aspect option is there, but no 4:3. Maybe the options change based on what kind of cable you use. Maybe only DVI has aspect and VGA has 4:3. The best thing for me to use would be the HDMI out on the Elite and then use an HDMI to DVI cable, right? Would the...

I am not talking about 1:1. There are three settings on the "display settings" menu: 1:1, Aspect, and Fill. 1:1 should put the exact resolution (pixel for pixel) on the screen with a black box surrounding the image. Aspect should maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio of 1280x720, but fill the...

So aspect mode doesn't work? When I use that for standard resolutions (like 1280x1024) it puts black bars on the sides. I don't like just filling the screen because I can really notice the stretching.

I want to get an xbox 360 elite, and I want to know if I will be able to use my 2007WFP with good results. Can the 2007WFP maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio and fill the screen, but have black bars on the top and bottom? Can it also do 1:1 pixel mapping for the 1280x720 resolution of the xbox 360?

BF2 runs great now, other than the occasional annoying glitch that the game is know for. I didn't have a can of air handy, so I just closed my eyes and blew on it. :)

I cleaned it out, and now the idle temp is at 58C. There were a few spots where the heat sink was clogged with dirt. I'll see if it still slows down in BF2. Thanks.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Ok, I downloaded rivatuner, but how do I make it record the temperatures?

When my 6800GT is idling it is at 63C. Is this normal? When I play BF2, after a couple of rounds I start getting massive slow-down. Could it be over-heating?

Trust me, dell cuts cost on a lot of things, but they don't always advertise it. You have to look for it. For example, you may think you are getting a 8600GT with DDR3 memory, but dell is actually using DDR2 memory in those cards, hence a price reduction. When I ordered my 1520, I did not...

I was reading a thread about that, and apparently people are saying that the 1520/1420 have grainy screens, but I also saw that the Asus G1S and the MBP have the same problem. I hope my 1520 is ok. It is on the way now, and should be here on Monday.

Computrace makes the Lojack software. I got it with my laptop from Dell.

That would be me, but I ordered a 1520, not a 1420, and I ordered the 1680x1050 resolution which I guess is not as popular for that laptop. I don't know why.

Those kill-a-watt meters are cool! I just ordered one. :)

But you would just blow a fuse to the cig lighter, and the car would still run right?

Your laptop doesn't output watts, it consumes them. lol Just look on the AC power adapter that came with it and get a car adapter that matches or exceeds the watt rating. Make sure the voltage and current ratings match too.

I got black because I will be using this laptop for work and school, and I didn't want something too flashy for work. :) I might have gotten green or blue if they were darker colors.

That's good. I probably won't game on it too much, but if I do, what games do you think would run on it? How might C&C 3 run?

I ordered it on 7/17/07 at around 6:00pm. Two days to build it is not bad. :D

According to Dell, my laptop shipped today! :D I should have it by Monday with next day shipping. Is anyone able to answer my question?

Does this mouse work with internal bluetooth in a laptop? I know it has a USB receiver, but it operates at 2.4 GHz, which is also the bluetooth frequency. I just didn't see anything that said bluetooth. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/165&cl=us,en

How much sooner are we talking about here? A couple days? A Week? I am getting impatient for my 1520. :)

Mine ships on August 3rd, but there was no indication when I ordered it about delays. Although, the lower res screens (1440x900) had a note under them that said they may be delayed.

I want to know how you think this will compare in performance to my current desktop. Would there be a noticeable difference in gaming performance? Inspiron 1520 specs: Intel(r) CoreTM 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache) 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz High...

I just ordered the 1520 with that express card. Apparently the order says it is a Soundblaster X-Fi sound card that goes in the express slot. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=16642 The only thing I don't like is that it looks like it will...

I do get a discount through my school, and I got vista ultimate for $20. However, the Inspiron 1520 looks better price and performance wise. One question about the sound card for the 1520: I have the option to choose this: Integrated Sound Blaster® Audigy™HD Software Edition OR...

Yeah, I actually just spec'd out a 1520 for about $1800, and an added benefit is the 1680x1050 resolution. The dell is looking better now. I don't think I would use mac OSX much anyway. How can I get this $300 coupon. I have never heard of Vostros from dell...

I was considering getting either the 15.4" MBP or the Dell m1330. I can get a student discount through my college for the MBP or the Dell, but the discount I get for the $1999 MBP brings the price to $1799. This is a much better deal in terms of price compared to a similarily spec'd m1330...

I think it would look a bit stupid and be annoying.....

I would LOVE to get an m1330 without vista so it would be like $200 cheaper...

Where do you find these coupons?

That C90 is flipping awesome! I got one spec'd at $1,641.00 that is better than the G1, and already have vista ultimate (got it for $20 :D). My only concern is the battery life. How long is it supposed to last (typically)? I saw it on GenTech and it doesn't give you an option to upgrade...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220162 EDIT: This may also be in my price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220182 Are these good laptops for the price? Is there anything better coming out in two months that I should wait for? I plan...

I am thinking about upgrading my processor, and I heard that the Operton 185 Denmark is the best I can get for my 939 motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103002 What kind of performance increase can I expect to get from this processor, and is this worth it in...

Ok, well I am not completely set on the m1210, I also like the ASUS G1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220124 Will this be better than my desktop?

So the dual core Pentium vs my AMD single core won't make much difference in games? What about DDR2 vs my PC3200 desktop memory? What video card would I need to look for in a laptop to surpass the performance of my 6800GT?

I want to get an m1210, but I was wondering how this would run games compared to my desktop setup. m1210: PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7600 (2.33GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667 MHz FSB) OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium MEMORY 2GB Dual Shared Channel DDR2...

What specs and what price did you get?
