i'm looking into buying a gforce mx w/ twinview and they seem like they'll be the first company to release it, but i don't know anything about them. does anyone own any of their cards and have feedback about them?

i have the notebook now and everything seems okay, but i haven't really had a chance to use it yet. Once again, thanks for the advice AndyHui. The manuals don't say much, and i don't think my father would like it much if i take a screwdriver to his laptop to find out the truth, so i guess...

Thanks, that's exactly what i was looking for. :D

Does anyone know at what speed a ls 120 drive can read a normal floppy? I thought i read in a post stating it was 5x, but i can't find anything else that says that. Pricewatch lists the drives as 2x and the imation site says they can be 27x faster than floppies, but it doesn't says if that...

The MSRP is way too high. Other site list the phones retail as around $119, and we're looking at essentially a used product here.

Ya' got me there. i have no idea about FC-PGA processors, sounds like a golf term to me. That sounds bad, is it?

Yeah, i recently discovered that. Do you think they could fit a slot 1 into a notebook? If that's the story, the notebook probably eats up power and generates a lot of heat. Anybody out there have a 800 MHz mobil notebook?

Thanks for the comments AndyHui. Is the video card that bad (with respect to 3D gaming)?

i bought the drive (and saw a box in person at Sam's) and it's spindle speed is 5400 rpm. i don't actually expect buy.com to display a unique image for all the items they carry, but i do expect the product title to be correct and the title says 5400 rpm, which is fine for storing archived files...

Thanks bbqweed. i can't believe i missed Dell's use of XGA. Don't suppose you know anything about how it rates compared to other types of displays? I see Dell offers a 12.1" SVGA active-matrix display, 14.1-inch TFT XGA active-matrix display, and larger displayed described as: Super...

Sorry, fixed the link. :)

Here's a quote from MrBeetle (copied from the post http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&amp;threadid=197271) which may help anyone deciding between the 5400 rpm and the 7200 rpm vs. cost per GB. MrBeetle: << [A] drive @ 5400 RPM is faster than smaller drives at 7200RPM...

Update: If you are an existing customer, i think you can still use the $10 off $30 coupon by: 1. Adding the $10 off $30 coupon to your cart. (if you are already logged in, the coupon shouldn't appear.) 2. Add the free shipping coupon to your cart. (now both coupons should appear.) 3. Click...

Bad news: There was a previous post for this drive from Sam's club for ~$160 after a $30 rebate. When i went to Sam's i not only found out that the 45.0 GB model was not listed as eligible for the rebate, but also the rebate had expired on May 27th, 2000! Good news: The rebate has been modified...

I'm looking for a notebook that's not too expensive and came across this: http://www.egghead.com/category/inv/00002942/03088999.htm Here's the run down: Ashton Digital Passport 2000? w/ Intel® Pentium® III Processor 800MHz, 12.0GB Hard Drive, 128MB SDRAM, 10/100 Base-T LAN, 14.1&quot; XGA...
