    Advice needed for laptop purchase - easy requirements :)

    One thing I noticed about the 600 series, is that the models that go up to 1024x768 only support 64,000 colors at that resolution. Is this typical of the 1024x768 Vaios as well?

    Advice needed for laptop purchase - easy requirements :)

    Definition of portable? small, and under 6 lbs. Long battery life? 2-4 hours. Performance? <500mhz probably. The major performance requirement is >32mb of RAM, and a >4gb hdd.. Like I said, I'm not looking for a monster (or even a performer). I was looking at sony Vaios on ebay, and saw some...

    Where to buy the Soltek Qbic EQ3401M?

    I read the review a few weeks back here on anandtech, but have found it nearly impossible to find units of this for sale, anywhere. Pricewatch does not even have any. Does anyone here know where I can buy one? Or at least find out the price for one?

    RSS Syndication of AnandTech?

    Well.. I guess I should have been clearer. I meant for anandtech articles, not the little news section below them ;)

    RSS Syndication of AnandTech?

    Is there an XML feed for my RSS news feed reader for Anandtech? I know NewsIsFree has one, but their free xml is headlines-only, it seems.

    ABIT VH6-2 & Tualatin

    the VH6-2 isn't a slot1, it's a socket motherboard. The issue is with voltage, I believe, whether the motherboard can supply enough to the cpu or not. not whether it will fit in. I haven't been able to find anything on any spec page about whether my motherboard supports the tualatin, so I guess...

    ABIT VH6-2 & Tualatin

    Doees the VH6-2 support the Tualatin pentium 3's? My 800mhz is starting to chug a little bit, but my funds don't quite cover the cost of an upgrade to a pentium 4, what with upgrading the motherboard and ram - which is why I'm looking into upping to a Tualatin.

    What Video Card are You Most Looking Forward For???

    For the record... I've run into nothing but bad (win2000) drivers and lousey support for my Kyro 2. :) I get artifacts in some games (Dark age of Camelot, some games I've stress beta tested) ... it runs fine in games that work on it, but some games just don't work. Of course, with the problems...

    Gainward Geforce3 Ti200 (Ti/450) Drivers?

    Oh joy, I've got to go into regedit.. cause my old card, my Kyro2 - when I put that in and installed drivers for that, it worked fine. Tech support people want me to send my card back, after finding out that the Kyro2 drivers installed fine. They think that it's either a bad board, or the GF3...

    Some problems installing drivers for my GeForce3 Ti200...

    Trying to install the latest drivers from nVidia. I've fully cleaned as much as I know how: taken them out of the hardware listing, and uninstalled any software that would show up in my uninstall programs menu.

    Some problems installing drivers for my GeForce3 Ti200...

    Update: I took out my GeForce3 Ti200, and stuck in my old Kyro2. Installed the Kyro2 drivers fine. It works fine. This pisses me off. Any ideas? Please help!

    Some problems installing drivers for my GeForce3 Ti200...

    I took a screenshot of the last screen of the installation to see if that would help someone zero in on the problem. Any help would be much appreciated, someone told me that my best bet would be reinstalling windows, but I really don't want to go through the hassle...

    Gainward Geforce3 Ti200 (Ti/450) Drivers?

    I never keep an anti-virus program running in the background, I only scan files when I need to. It's really bizarre, and only the second problem I've had with this computer... the first had to do with utterly random reboots, and eventually was attributed to leaky capaciters on the motherboard...

    Some problems installing drivers for my GeForce3 Ti200...

    Everything goes fine - it copies files, etc - until the very end, where instead of telling me that the installation completed successfully, it tells me, and I quote: "An error occurred during the installation of this device. The system cannot find the file specified. To close this wizard...
