    Dell XPS M1330 - LED backlit screen worth upgrade?

    I'm in the market for a highly portable laptop and have been looking at the XPS M1330. There is an option to configure the laptop with a thinner LED backlit screen for $300. I was wondering if anyone in here can tell me if this is worth the upgrade or not? I haven't decided if I'm going with...

    How did Crysis score higher than Half-Life on Gamespot?

    Did these people play the same game I did? I agree, as far as graphics go, this game is a masterpiece. It pushes the boundaries, etc, etc. But better than Half-Life? Gameplay has got to count for something, right? I mean, Half-Life was actually somewhat difficult. The story line was...

    (Vista) How to really trick a program into thinking it's running in XP?

    Hey everyone, got a bit of an issue that I need help sorting out. I just bought a Digitech RP250 modeling effect pedal for my guitar and the X-edit 2 software says it is only compatible with Windows XP. I don't doubt that there will be some issues if I can actually get it to install, but I...

    Wow, this is a really nice barebones. MBOX mini-review.

    My mother's work computer started going apeshit about 2 weeks ago. Random reboots without the actual rebooting, it just freezes and the screen goes black. I checked software, dusted the computer out, looked at the hsf to make sure it was attached correctly and I noted that the caps were...

    Looking for a cheap motherboard to do 400x8 with E4300?

    I'm sure somewhere along the lines this question has been posed before, but without a search function I can't seem to find anything. What I'm looking for is something around $100 (lower would be nice) that will without a doubt allow me to overclock an e4300 to 3.2ghz. If I have to settle...

    The Long Goodbye

    Not trying to stir the pot or start a flamewar, but in the past I was asked repeatedly what the hell I was talking about when I said Vista was slow with moving and deleting files and a few people basically called it FUD. Well, seems I'm not alone, at all...

    Benchmark Reviews link on front page.

    Just wanted to toss something out there. I'm not often critical of this site, and really this isn't a criticism so much as a heads up. The Benchmark Reviews article on the Logitech Cordless Desktop linked from the front page reads like an infomercial. There was no reviewing, just canned...

    Moderators should be impartial

    I just got warned and had posts deleted for 'trolling' because (*gasp*) God forbid I hold an opinion that differs from the status quo in regards to Vista. This isn't the first time I've seen this. The only people who have been getting their posts deleted are people who have issues with...

    My own frustrations with Vista

    So I decided to give it a real try since my stepdad unknowingly bought a copy thinking it would run on their computer which is a bit dated. Now, I'm not going to universally slam it here. There are things I love about it. The interface update is nice. I like the new start menu (with 1...

    For some reason I can't get into my control panel. I am asked continually to log in, I do, and it either asks me again or forwards me back to the main forum listing. Any ideas? I made a small video of the problem that I am uploading to youtube as I write this.

    Cores keep shrinking, how low can they go?

    I guess this question will be best answered by an electronics engineer, but for the sake of promoting discussion and feeding my (and hopefully others) curiosity, what happens when they run out of space? I'm not sure if they really can run out of space, but in laymans terms, what I mean is...

    A few questions about Intel?

    Hey everyone, I've got a bit of a situation I could use some help resolving. I've been out of the Intel loop for quite a long time, since the 300A days, at least from an enthusiast standpoint. As an AMD guy for years now, I'm pretty unfamiliar with all of intel's offerings. I read the tech...
