    Suggestions for an external harddrive?

    I'm looking for suggestions for an external harddrive. I want it to be USB 2.0 and at least 250 GB. Not sure if I should go with one of the prepackaged deals or buy a hard drive and an enclosure. :confused: Thanks.

    BF2 fails to start on my Dell 9300

    Will BF2 run at a default in-game resolution? I've had similar problems when trying to run BF2 at different resolutions on my non-WXUGA 9300. My native resolution is 1440x900, but I have to run the game at 1280x800. What video drivers are you using? You may want to look at the ones...

    My used 9300 just arrived....few questions!

    I have a 9300 and use Monster's LCD cleaning kit. For $20, it comes with a bottle of solution and a large cleaning cloth. If you go to http://www.notebookforums.com (I think the site's down right now) and search in the Dell / 9300 forums you will find several posts containing step-by-step...

    Inspiron 9300 thread

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory in my 9300 from 512MB (2 x 256) to at least a gig. I was thinking of buying a 1GB stick and replacing one of the 256s with it. Two questions: 1 - Is there that much of a performance difference betwen 1.2GB RAM and 2GB RAM? 2 - By mixing the sticks with two...

    Are Alienware Laptops also overpriced?

    Yes, they are overpriced. You can get the same system (a rebranded Sager 9860) for less from http://www.pctorque.com/ or http://www.powernotebooks.com. After a lot of research, I bought a Dell Inspiron 9300 for a lot less, but with comparable performance. The Dell XPS Gen2 is is more...

    Inspiron 9300: Pentium M 2GHz or 1.86 GHz?

    I'm considering an Inspiron 9300. Is the upgrade from a 1.86 GHz processor to a 2.0 GHz worth the $200 extra? Is there that much of a performance difference say when running HL2 or D3? Has anyone seen a good comparison between the 2 and 1.86 GHz processors? Thanks!

    Gaming laptops

    Very cool. /me jealous I'd like to hear how gaming is on it. BTW - did you go with the optional TV tuner? Hey MYPEARL: PCTorque announced yesterday in their forums that the Sager 7620 with ATi MOBILITY™ RADEON® X800 256MB PCI-C card will be available "soon". There are some nice pics of...

    Mountain Dew Mishap >.<

    Right, it will be obvious that a drink was spilled on it. I said he doesn't have to tell them "how" it got there. It was an accident. He doesn't have to elaborate about the "...incedent involving a flying swiss cake roll and a cup of mountain dew..."

    Dave: I assume you mean South Shore MA? Do you guys sell Sager PCs? Do you have a website?

    Gaming laptops

    You have to shop around, the Sager 9860s and their variants (Alienware 51-m, Hypersonic GX7, Falcon NW Fragbook, etc.) are all pretty expensive, especially since they are one of the only pci-e notebooks on the market right now. Here's a partial list of vendors that carry them...
