Exactly. If 9600 was offered I would have gone for it. But they didn't, actually no major notebook manufacturer offers the ati solution. IBM T40s are stuck with mobility 9000, hp's zd7000 usues the 5650 also, fujitsu and gateway both use 9000 also. Absolutely no one offers the 9600 except for...

OK. Finally, after weeks of lurking behind the forums, I went and ordered my first notebook. Here are the specs: Pentium M 1.6GHz, 15.4" WSXGA+ 512MB DDR333(256MB x 2) 128MB nVidia® GeForce? FX Go 5650 4X AGP 60GB - 7200rpm Ultra ATA Hard Drive 24XCD-RW/DVD Combo Drive Dell? TrueMobile? 300...

Aren't monitors supposed to be shielded from a weak magnetic field such as the earth's. Or is it got something to do with LG monitors' poor product QA? Would it be recommendable to change for a different monitor? Or is it that my friend's room is the cause and no matter what all monitors are...

My friend recently bought a 17" LG Flatron monitor(CRT). At first I noticed that near the WinXP's "Start" button there was a purple-lish shade. I thought if I use the "Degauss" option on the monitor's OSD it would go off. But it didn't. Now, to the weird part. I accidentally turned the monitor...

I recently bought an OEM 9700 card. I heard radeons have hardware DVD decoding so I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, my OEM manufacturer's installation cd did not have the ATI's DVD Player. I went over to ATI's website to download it but was dissapointed to know that in order install the...

Budman : Still no luck. The link was for cards made by ATI and cards that are just powered by ATI in my opinion are not shown. Some specs I got by looking at the board: 3.3ns Hynix BGA memery chips Core clock = 276.8MHz; Mem Clock = 270MHz(used Rage3d Tweaker) There is one sticker at the back...

Forgot to mention.....this board has 128MB VRAM by the way.

Imported : Yes, the memory chips are all inline above the processor and at the back of the board. And they use 3.3ns Hynix BGA memory. Budman: Of course windows detects it but all it says is Radeon 9500 Series(does not say Pro or Non Pro)

Point taken.....will "teleport" to Tom's NOW! :)

I've just bought an OEM 9500 Pro. No matter where I look it does not specifically state that this is a Pro....so how can I be sure it is and not just a Non-Pro? Is there any programs or tweaks that I can use to verify this card is a 9500 Pro?

Driver problems are always a big headache. What does it say is the reason for the failure in the device manager device with the Red X? What win are you using by the way? First, from device manager remove all the santa cruz or any device found under the sound. Then reboot and see if windows...
