    Cordless Mice

    I bought the MX1000 for my laptop, thinking it would travel better than a corded mouse-big mistake. Besides mouse, I now have to carry receiver (corded, natch), and if I plan on being gone for awhile, the charger. It's a good mouse, but I do find it to be a tad heavy for my tastes. Thinking...

    Looking for a gaming laptop

    Just FYI, I bought a Sager 9860 a couple of months ago, and it is worth every penney! I know it's above your friend's budget, but for anyone else considering one, I'd recommend it. I don't have D3, but HL2 is butter smooth. On 3DMark03, I get 50% higher scores than with my old desktop, an...

    My 3DMark03 score

    Not sure if you are bragging, or complaining? I would say that is a very good score. '03 is very vidcard dependent. I have a laptop, and only get 8000+, on a good day.

    XP2600 to Mobile XP2500?

    I.e., I have changed out a mobo before, with all that entails, but not sure of what I am trying to do here. :) I have an Asus A7N8X rev. 1 mobo (333 fsb) with an XP2600+(Tbird) running at 2.1 Ghz. Just bought a Mobile (Barton) XP2500+ to swap out (I hope), as per a suggestion in the mobo...

    Asus A7N8X

    Well, this sounds good. So I've just ordered the above, plus a small tube of AS5, from newegg. I may be back in a week or so with some pleas for help, as this will be only my 2nd major (to me) upgrade. ;) First was putting in this board, taking out an old Slot A asus board.

    Asus A7N8X

    I've been to Asus's website, but just became more confused. I have about the oldest Rev. board there is, and the bios is the one that came with the board. Right now I am running an XP2600+ (Tbird) w/333FSB. Trying to upgrade this machine a bit without having to replace everything. My...

    Very best notebook?

    Get a Sager 9860, and it won't cost you $6000, more like 3-4000. And you'll have the fastest DTR there is-all the rest is lagging behind.

    Widescreen LCD monitors: why not to buy one

    Also, in some games (I play 99% flightsims), you can go into the .config file, and set your resolution, for that game, manually. I.E., I have a laptop with 1680x1050, and Pacific Fighters doesn't natively support that res, but inputting that value into the .config file results in a "normal"...

    I want the best gaming laptop available.

    Here is the bestest, fastest beast you can get right now: Sager 9860 I have it with 3.6 Prescott and 1 Gig RAM, 3DMark03=7250+ Aquamark3=43000 Factory settings, it can be o/c'd quite a bit. Oh, much cheaper than AW, same notebook, or dtr.

    Need some help finding a laptop with the right features

    The fastest gaming notebook in the world right now is the Sager 9860 (which I have ;) ), do a google. It is awesome, and based on the Clevo 900 mobo with the Nvidia 6800 Go GPU. Stock, no tweaking at all: 3DMark03=7250 Aquamark3=43000 When o/c'd, those scores rise quite a bit...
