    Alviso / Sonoma Timeframe?

    I also heard they'd scraped on bettery life over features and speed, although I also heard that its not much of a difference due to a lot of power being saved in other areas such as the wireless controller and a low powered DDR2 controller. I'm waiting for a 13" or 14" sony model with decent...

    sisters boyfriend getting XPS, says 9700 is fine

    I would never get a laptop with a p4 in it period. I would only get an AMD in a laptop if it were a low voltage one, but AMD really need something to rival the Pentium M or Intel are gonna have a market to themselves shortly.

    Alviso / Sonoma Timeframe?

    Well .... according to many places, like the Inquirer, sometime this quarter. That could be now, feb, march or even april. I would stab a guess at the end of feb for when the spring comes in but dont hold me to it. Thats exactly what I'm waiting for so I can get a notebook with decent gfx...

    How long will this survive?

    Depends on what new games come out next year. If its a quiet year, expect it to do well. Most new games will probably use the hl2 or D3 engine anyhow so try basing it upon those for now. Dont hold your breath for more than a year though!

    I am sick of it.

    When I play CS:S i'm always getting accused of being a cheater, haxor etc etc etc. Its actually REALLY bugging because I've never cheated in all the years I've been playing and I'm nowhere near as good as many other top players around. In all honesty, I wish people would design a way that there...

    How do i know im running DUAL CHANNEL?

    thats in dual channel mode. because your total memory bandwidth should be a little less than 3200 x 2. it'd only be in single channel if it were less than 3200mb/s

    What happened to my Radeon 9700 Pro?

    Either the card is out of place or the memory is, well .... broken. It'd be a shame if you only have 1 year warranty on the card as well (assuming you bought it over a year ago).

    What would be your laptop?

    Does anyone know if the centrino 2 platform will have 64 bitness at all? I know it sounds silly, but I'd rather have a notebook that would support it incase M$ decide to release 64-bit windows later in the year. I only ever buy a laptop once a year so I would have to do a 2nd upgrade some...

    Calling Dell a few times a day,why?, so they can begin to sell AMD rigs.

    Dell don't care about their home customers. Its businesses they make their cash from. They'll only sell AMD CPUs to big companies who demand Opteron processors. Dell will never sell AMDs in desktop PCs coz *ntel would stop giving them huge discounts period. :(

    dvi-d, dvi ...

    Theres 3 types of DVI ... DVI-D DVI-I and DVI-somethingelse DVI-D is digital only so you cant connect an analogue CRT to it. DVD-I is DVI-Integrated or something and you can use both digital and analogue with it, the other is analogue only so I believe. All support different resolutions and...

    CRT Displays are a dying breed [Will be totally gone within 3 years] Long live TFT

    I wont use a CRT ever again since getting my Hercules Prophetview 920 Pro. In fact, I'm getting the 23" sony with my next student loan payment :D I'm too lazy and blind to notice any form of ghosting ;) One of the biggest factors of CRTs demise will be how the prices of TFTs and LCDs drop...

    Red Dot???

    There is sometimes a quick fox for this, but it doesnt always work and it might kill more pixels around it .... get a damp cloth and press it firmly against the red dot. It may fix the problem or it may make pixels around it worse. Then you'd have good reason to send it back ;)
