    Samsung Vibrant -or- Sprint HTC EVO -or- Samsung Captivate ???

    Be wary of any suggested Captivate GPS "fixes" - what GTG stated is one thing many people have done and it will show improvement, but it's REALLY random. Check out the XDA Captivate forums and you'll see countless threads indicating a number of different fixes, ranging from accessing an internal...

    Samsung Vibrant -or- Sprint HTC EVO -or- Samsung Captivate ???

    I've had a Captivate since launch day, coming from an iPhone 3G, 3GS, then 4, and I really like it but there are a few significant issues. Most notably the infamously terrible GPS is still broken and even after updates that "fix" the GPS, most users aren't noticing much improvement (including...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    It's not two separate cards. The XT5000T has one video card with 256 megs of dedicated memory, and using Nvidias "turbocache", borrows an additional 256 from the system memory. If anything I wish there was a way to disable the shared memory, since I'm sure it's hardly used, if at all, during...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    I wouldn't count on it...if something happens you'll probably have to go back to Office Max and put up a fight that they screwed up etc etc. The 3 year warranty with accident\wear and tear coverage is $199, so for the extra $70 it might be worth all the hassle...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Have you run 3DMark (any version)? At least then you could compare it to what others are getting. Good method to determine if it's something system wide, or something more specific to HL2...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    I'm using the latest drivers of tweaksrus.com (165.01), the non tweaked version. On HL2: Lost Coast, fraps reports 30 fps when looking around the large open sea section, and 40 - 50 fps when looking towards the mountain side. I didn't do any real tweaking to Vista, and although those numbers...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Yeah, I discussed before possibly returning it when I was thinking about getting an HP instead. I took it to store manager level and they were pretty insistant on not letting me return it, but I got the feeling if I took it to district manager level they'd let me return it. So far I love it so...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Actually, OfficeMax return is 14 day exchange, no open laptop returns. Although I did get the impression if I raised enough of a stink, I could return it (not that I'm going to). As for dual channel, from what I've seen you can get any memory that's equal to or faster than the current memory...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    For those who upgraded the memory, does it run dual channel at 533 if you add another 1gb of 667 memory? Does the 667 slow itself down to match the built in 1GB?

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Well, I'm joining the XT5000T club. Originally I ordered an HP DV6000T because I kind of wanted the smaller size and better battery life (although it's only a 7400). Ordered an XT5000T just in case the HP wasn't perfect.......and my customized HP gets here with a broken keyboard! They didn't...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Unfortunately the schmuck at the local office max was of no help. Besides giving incorrect information about Everex as a company, he took the time to stress the "no returns on opened laptops, ever" policy (yes it's the official policy, but I've rarely seen it enforced, particularly when they're...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Can anyone give some input on the speakers? The specs say two speakers and a subwoofer. Is the subwoofer noticeable? Does anyone have experience with the HP DV6000t that could compare the two? I know laptop speakers in general kind of suck, but I do use mine fairly often. The local officemax...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Thanks for the input. Almost all the software I use is freeware (OpenOffice, Miranda) or provided free of charge (McAfee from Comcast), so that's not a big issue for me. I do use my laptop in my lap, a LOT. This is why I ordered a 15.4" laptop with my HP. For $795, I'm getting a Core 2 Duo...

    Everex XT5000T Support thread

    Dang Office Max....just a few days ago I ordered my new HP laptop (thanks to their $200 off customized laptops coupon!), and now OM drops the price on the Everex back to $700! Decisions decisions... Besides the keyboard design, are there any new major gripes that have come up with the Everex...

    Getting ATI to support Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling

    I have had my eMachine 6807 for over three years now, and this issue has never been fixed by ATI. I've e-mailed them once a year or so hoping that as widescreen laptops became more common, they would finally address this problem. No such luck. To this day, if I want to play Icewind Dale or...
