I just bought a new 600m and am looking for software to monitor temps and clock speeds. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

My Inspirion 600m should be arriving today as should a 512MB of DDR-333 bought seperately. I am trying to decide if I should run the 768MB at 266 MHz or take out the 256MB stick from dell and run the 512 at 333. I don't particularly need the extra memory at this time, but I am sure it will...

My primary goal was not to ask for another persons opinion, but to reproduce a DPI comperable to the 1400x1050 resolution of a 14.1' laptop on my 19' crt. A comment on the calculations. Isn't a 19" (18" viewable) screen is square as for as I can tell. I think that it is the pixels that have...

I am having a difficult time doing the seemingly easy calculation of comparing pixel size on my 19" CRT to pixel size on laptop monitors. I am trying to decide between 1024x768 and 1400x1050 for a 14.1 inch laptop screen. is the 1400x1050 similar to 1600x1200 on a 19' CRT. Anyone have any...

Jeffbui, I browsed the IBM site and can't seem to nail down the configuration that you listed for the price you indicated. For that matter I can't seem to do much significant customizing while operating through the educational discount page. Am I missing something? Also did the...

I am looking for a new lap top in the $1200 range. I am going to grad school and can use the apple student discount, so that puts a 14.1 inch iBook just in my range. I was also looking at a dell inspiron 600m. Which often drop into the $1000 range after rebates and coupon codes. My two main...

Do you have any info on which new chipsets support 400MHz memmory? Also is there any significant performance gain, or does the large cache on the pentium-M make the increase negligible.

I have been shopping around lately for a Pentium-M notebook and have noticed that most makers use DDR-266 as the memory. Some (I think Toshiba) use DDR-333, but I have yet to see DDR-400 in a laptop. I would think that saturating the FSB with mem bandwidth would significantly increase...
