    New laptops with no audio line in input?

    My Dell E1705 pops up to ask whether what I just plugged in was a microphone or a lineout from something (not exact wording). I would imagine that other new notebooks could/should do the same thing.

    A little late but, how does steam work?

    I just checked Steam and there is HL2 without CS:S now, for $29. The original packages are gone, but what amounts to the same content as the previously $60 HL2 Silver package is now the $80 Valve Complete Pack. So much for games going down in price after they've been out for a while. :)...

    A little late but, how does steam work?

    The Silver Package came with everything that was currently on Steam at the time, and DoD:Source and Half-Life: Source down the road. Probably the best $60 deal I've ever seen. As far as I know, CS: Source comes with any Half-Life 2 purchase, but DoD: Source is only included with the Silver and...

    BF2 fails to start on my Dell 9300

    I've seen this cause by this certain thing, so I'll suggest it.If you tell certain games to run at a resolution, it makes sure that your drivers actually have that resolution specified in order to run. It's also why some games don't list certain resolutions in their options, even though your...

    Counter Strike: Source at BB for $19.99

    You're missing out on some hilarious LAN fun with the HL2 multiplayer! It's nice at a LAN with friends to take a break from all the gun-only killing and just throw stuff at each other. Killing friends with flying toilets.. it's just priceless. :D I bought the HL2 Silver Package via Steam...

    Where's my 19" Laptops?

    Not everyone carries their laptop as often as they carry their wallet or car keys. For many of us, a laptop is just a way of taking a PC places. As long as it's less than 20-25 lbs, and all in one piece without the needs for cables to set it up, it's all good. The more power in it the better. :)

    Inspiron 9300 clock jumps back an hour

    This may be too obvious, but if it's not gradual and it's exactly an hour, check your Timezone and/or Daylight Savings Time. This sounds like when Windows XP automatically sets the time, it's setting it to the wrong time. It's worth a mention.

    why is my new laptop running at 2:3

    He's still OK there. There's also DDR2 that runs at 3200, which as we know is a 200Mhz memory bus. FSB:RAM = 133:200 = 2:3. Mystery solved?

    The 9500 Pro should go down in history as the most value card evar!

    I could be wrong, but ATI seemed to have realized what they had done by unleashing the 9500 Pro onto the market (an 8 pixel pipeline mid-range card). I'm pretty sure the 9600s went back to being 4 pixel pipelines. ;) I've actually thought about waiting for R520, but I'm jonesing for a fix. I...

    The 9500 Pro should go down in history as the most value card evar!

    9500 Pro here, as well. Had it for almost 2.5 years. I felt so sorry for a friend of mine that bought a TI 4600 after I bought this. He paid much more for his card, and it didn't perform nearly as well in new games as they've came out. Geforce4 was decent at one time, but it has nowhere the...

    Gaming laptops

    They sell the same thing that other Clevo OEMs sell.If you'll notice, they don't actually HAVE that screen resolution that Sager and Alienware don't offer.. they simply list it before it's available and put a delivery date up of April 2005.
