After thinking about it for a while, looks like I'm taking the Mac plunge. I came to the realization that I needed the video card, and the tablet just wasn't going to cut it. So, the MBP is ordered. 15" model, 4gb ram, 7200 rpm hdd, and my task is to get Vista, XP, OSX, and Ubuntu all...

"200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm" Anyone know what the battery life is for the 7200 vs. 5400? Does it have much of an impact?

My boss is getting me a new notebook for xmas, and best of all, I get to pick it out. I want a tablet, he wants to convert me to Macs. Price-wise you are looking at about $2,600 (Macbook Pro) vs $1,800 (Lenovo T61 tablet). I'll of course tri-boot the Mac between windows/osx/linux, so my...

Doh! just noticed the notebook forum. I swear, I looked for it earlier. =)

I guess that's my xmas bonus, a laptop that I get to pick out. I've been out of the laptop shopping world for years, so I'm in need of some help here. Some of my thoughts - I don't need an awesome gaming rig, I never really game much. Not ruling it out, but I don't need the latest...

Am I correct in guessing the video card is the board located above the CD drive, attached to the audio/video out ports? If so, that looks easily replaceable. http://web.archive.org/web/200...humbrocketimages/9.jpg

My laptop took a couple foot drop today and I've traced the bluescreen I am now getting back to the video card. With the ATI drivers installed, it BSODs on boot, but without them, I can boot up just fine. Everything else is working fine, but the graphic limitations might get rather annoying...

I'll make it easier, here's what I am looking at for both these systems... "]Antec Solution SLK1650B Black Steel ATX Mini Tower Computer Case 350W Power Supply - Retail $62.99 BIOSTAR GEFORCE 6100-M7 Socket 754 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $59.99 AMD...

Previous building experience.... - Two 2.8C systems for gaming & video editing a few years back. - Two 2400 Athlon systems a year ago for general internet/word usage last year. Well, I've been a bit out of the hardware side of things over the past year and now I've been commissioned to...

MP3 player (music & podcasts), internet, and ability to watch movies on flights. From my experience (have both a Axim & a iPaq, and the Axim is hands down better. You can find some pretty good axim related forums at www.aximsite.com

I host about 5 domains with 1and1 and pay $10/month so I'm really looking into this. Am I correct that dreamhost limits you to 3 domains with the $9/year plan? Still saves me a bunch of money to switch, but just curious.

Ok, so maybe he's not the next Star Wars kid, but still... pretty damn funny. Link

LOL... it's one thing to say the wrong thing, it's another thing to link to it. Moore's law doesn't even directly explain the price decrease, all it says (simply put) is that computers double in speed every 18 months.

Ran Active Partition Recovery which is supposed to restore any lost partition info, and all that found was a 10 MB partition, and that's it. Going to do a full scan with GetDataBack and just start copying files I guess. Seems like if I could just convert this whole partition to NTFS I could...
