    Which card is better - honestly

    Why is there so much talk about honesty in this thread. Why would anyone lie?

    Do my ears deceive?

    It's onboard a Dell XPS 700, "Montgomery 2 Sigmatel Stac 92XX C-Major HD Audio." Ookay guys, I just ordered a webcam and the Xtreme Music card for $122 - $60 in rebates from Amazon. They should be here in two days. It is difficult for me to describe the difference in sound. I've heard...

    Do my ears deceive?

    I'm by no means an audiophile. A few months ago, I needed some speakers so got the Z-2300 2.1 set mostly because I had a $100 Dell coupon and nothing else to spend it on. Otherwise, I would have probably gotten cheaper speakers and been happy with them, not really appreciating what good...

    So I dont really like my keyboard.

    I have the Ultra-X. I believe it is OEM only, so you won't be able to find it in stores. The keys are very similar to the dinovo keyboard ones. I like the ultra-x feel more. I bought the wireless ultra-x desktop, but it's not the same. I liked the wired kb so much, I tried to buy a couple...

    Student shot with Taser by UCPD officers (Multiple times)

    I'm finding it impossible to believe there is any missing information that we could have that would justify tazing the guy when he was already cuffed and on the ground. That point aside, there are people who think the situation went down just as I am imagining it, and think the cops did no...

    glutenberg, he gets to sue because the officers are the ones who messed up the worst. Imagine if they wrestled his ass down, cuffed him, and carried him out, while the kid was kicking and screaming. Or if it took one shock to detain him, the situation wouldn't be nearly as appalling as it is...

    You shouldn't have spent so much time on such a well thought out reply. Your time would have been better spent coming up with more "what ifs" to justify what the video showed. What if he was reaching for a detonator for a nuclear weapon??!?! Also, your post would have had more impact if you...

    Student shot with Taser by UCPD officers (Multiple times)

    That is all I was trying to say. We have one kid, who could be an idiot and overly sensitive (and lets just say he is), and a group of cops who use that kind of force for a small offense, who also threaten bystanders (who are doing nothing illegal) with the same force. On top of that, we have...

    Umm, no lives were saved because of their actions. Criminal, or not, the dude was cuffed and on the ground. Taze him again, in the name of safety??? The students in the video weren't scared that the kid might hurt them. The only thing they had to be scared of was getting tazed, themselves...

    The cop should never have laid a hand on him. At the point where a cop stops acting like a cop should, we shouldn't follow his orders for sh!t. Right, the kid could have saved himself a lot of physical pain by just following orders, but that's a very poor attitude to have. Thomas Hobbes says...

    How to get a specific display resolution?

    You do not need to go out and buy a new video card. The x3000 is very new, so should support widescreen resolutions. The older intel onboard graphics chips could run that resolution just fine - as long as you're not playing games, of course. Just make sure you have the correct drivers for...

    How much would this kind of laptop cost me?

    Check the seller's feedback and the previous items they sold. A lot of the sellers are reputable. I would avoid the ones who are selling laptops as a one-time thing.

    How much would this kind of laptop cost me?

    You can get a 17" Dell E1705 right now for $1500 with these specs (I just configured it): Core 2 Duo T7200 (2ghz 4mb) WUXGA screen (1920x1200) 1gb of RAM (too expensive to upgrade through Dell) 256mb 7900gs 80gb 7200rpm hdd 8x DVD burner integrated sound Everything else is standard...
