    MacBook Pro Comprehensive Windows Benchmarks

    Is there any other laptop under 6lbs that has a better video card? Or is the 1600 as good as it comes at the moment in that range?

    Any C2D 15.4" laptops with x1700 or 7700go in the $1500 range for the US market?

    I guess I should clarify. :) (In my case anyway...) Is the MBP the fastest 15.4" notebook in the 5.6/2.5kg range? I at least want that 1440x900 resolution it has, or 1680x1050 in another make.

    Any C2D 15.4" laptops with x1700 or 7700go in the $1500 range for the US market?

    Is there anything in that range, regardless of price? I have like a $3100 limit, but I can't find anything faster than a MBP 15.4 (the weight and thickness are important to me). I've seen some stuff in the same price range as the MBP, but none seem to have better specs.

    I think I got bored one day at work.

    Do you pay attention to people when they are talking to you?

    Of course...that is one of my pet peeves. The worst is when you're talking to someone (at work for example), and they pick up the phone and just start talking on it. :|

    N. Korea- what is the problem with weak sanctions? We can just lay siege!

    North Korea has artillery (and rockets) that can reach Seoul, that is the main reason we've not done anything. Something like 13,000 pieces of it.

    How many pairs of shoes can you have before your man card is revoked?

    Well, most of my male coworkers wear the same pair of shoes all year long anyway. ;)

    How many pairs of shoes can you have before your man card is revoked?

    Nothing wrong with guys having a lot of shoes. :) I only have like 15 pairs or so here (2 boots, 5 sandals, 2 sneakers, 6 dress shoes). I think anyway...

    does the XFX 7950 card require motherboard molex connection

    I needed to do that on the Abit AB9 Pro (with my 7950 GX2), but my Asus P5W-DH runs it just fine w/out a molex connector on the motherboard...

    $4000 in tuition reimbursement from my work

    CCNA boot camp, but I think you should take the opportunity and get some school paid for. :)

    What is it with nerds and cats?

    Who knows, you know what they say about lies and statistics. :) I have a dog anyway. They are higher maintenance, though...dogs.

    P5B Deluxe and AHCI SATA?

    Make sure you have the JMicron drivers installed. Once you do, turn off the PC and plug into the JMicron SATA port. Turn on AHCI for the ICH8 port, and when in Windows, install the Intel Matrix Drivers. Shut down again, plug into the ICH8 port and turn back on. Should boot now.

    Got an Asus P5B-VM

    What RAM did you use? I'd definitely not try to use anything not rated for 1.8-1.9v...

    e6600 w/ stock cooler - replace thermtape with AS5?

    The stock one seems to idle in the 30s anyway, so it should be fine for you. :)
