Every best buy in the NoVA area had 7200's, decided to pick one up since the HD-DVD drives were all gone everywhere :D Thanks for the heads up! As a bonus the drive works fine with NCQ on my nforce430 chipset laptop making all the hours I spent trying to get it working on the old seagate...

Well, unless your laptop has a chipset with windows based timing config changing your ram will run at the slowest SPD from an unmatched pair. On a desktop I have no qualms about buying CL3 DDR400 for instance because almost every stick I've bought can run DDR400 at 2-3-3-6 with no problems...

I disagree. I find laptop SODIMM SPD timings more important than desktop ones since you aren't able to manually set timings in bios on most (any?) laptops.

I just purchased one of these and I'm very happy with it. Overclocks easy to 2ghz/DDR800 with ntune :) I can play LOTRO at medium settings just fine on the integrated graphics and the battery lasts approximately 3 hours. I also purchased one of the 399 (299) acer 3680's and another 512 SODIMM...

Keep in mind that the banding in the sky changes based on the time of day you're looking at it (sky gets lighter and darker) and changes depending on the zone you're in and if theres any weather going on there at the time. It looks horrible on my 2005FPW most of the time so if it is worse on the...

If its that nforce4-a754 then yep, it does S1, S3, or S1+S3

I regularly saw 50 idle 83 load with the stock cooler on my sapphire x850xt at 600/1200. replaced the heatsink with a ATI cooler 5 rev 2 and it dropped to 32C/69C at the same speeds with 35/43C case temps.. Nothing wrong with 73 at all in my opinion.

They did something to skies in WoW with the 1.10 patch, they are banded on everyone I've asked about it's screens. I have tested it personally on a 6600GT and an X850XT on a dell 2005FPW, a rosewill 17" LCD and a 19" envision CRT and they all get the same banding. I can see the gradients on...

I was in the same situation last week and picked the $155 sapphire X850XT and do not regret it, using a 2005FPW instead of the 2405 though. This thing is a beast when it comes to overclocking and has alot more memory bandwidth which will be important at such a high resolution. You only need...

I would never buy one of these again knowing what I know now. I bought it on october 23rd, by november 1st 4 of the keys wore off, and right now I cant see the letters on 6 keys and a third of my space bar is rubbed off. It wouldn't be so bad if just the letters wore off, but the entire black...
