    ASUS G73JW vs. ASUS G73JH

    JW is the current offering. JH is slightly older, and there have been a few design changes. There is some debate on the GTX460M not being as good as the ATI offering, but I have only seen benchmarks, and not real life FPS comparisons. The trackpad now has two buttons instead of a one button...

    Laptop choice - down to two, and need some help

    I thought about business class, but opted to get a little more computer for a little less money. the Elitebooks are nice, I use one for work. Unfortunately to configure it to the spec I'm looking for it comes in over $3500. I can go with a "gaming notebook" for about half that.

    Laptop choice - down to two, and need some help

    You're forgiven. :) I know that 5 years in laptop time is like a century to the rest of the world, but I also can't replace a laptop that often. So since I figured the last one put up a good 4 years, and has survived its 5th year with a lot of coaxing and bit of extra work, I think 5 years...

    Laptop choice - down to two, and need some help

    I decided to look at gaming laptops because they seem to have the best specs as far as hardware goes. I'd like it to be able to play games, but that's not my focus. The main heavy hitter that I'll be doing is Photoshop, and some other editing/pano stitching/HDR rendering software. I'm...

    Laptop choice - down to two, and need some help

    Hi all, I've been shopping out a new laptop to replace a nearly dead Compaq V2000 (yes it's old and way underpowered by current standards). I've narrowed it down to a Sager 8690 and an Asus G53 over at Xoticpc.com With similar specs they are coming out close enough in price that I can go...

    looking to build on a budget, need advice

    My current computer was an AthlonXP 2500, and it's well past time for an upgrade. I've been reading through the forums, and I'm not sure which direction to go with a solid budget build. I don't know much about the current crop of AMD procs, and only a bit about the Intels. I'd like to stay as...

    SATA drive won't post - Need Help (Badly)

    I don't believe that the bios for the SATA controller is conigurable. The one on the MB, would just hang and not allow me to hit F4 to go into the raid configuration, and that was the only config available. The addin-pci card controller doesn't even have that option. My 5v rail usually runs...

    SATA drive won't post - Need Help (Badly)

    Drivers are installed, and it works fine in windows. I just can't seem to get it to work will attached during boot. I've searched the nforce fourms, asus forums, and everywhere else I can think of. Is there some kinds of bios on the disk itself that could be causing a conflict with the...

    SATA drive won't post - Need Help (Badly)

    I also picked up a compusa brand "cheapo" sata controller, when I thought something might be wrong on the MB. That is the one that's using a sil3512 chip. The SATA drive is connected to channel 1 on the pci SATA card. (aka the cheapo controller) I've had the same result with both the cheap...

    Hi all, My mom just got a new laptop (should arrive in a week), and she wants to get a new printer. She looked at a couple of all-in-one models, but wasn't sure what to pick. I'd like to help her find something nice, and easy to work with. Ideally here are some of the features I'm hoping...
