Ever choose between the monitors? I got the 1905FP today. I too do lots of graphics. It is hard to get used to but seems promising. No dead pixels, etc. How about you?

Just got my 1905FP today. I am definitely impressed overall. It truly is almost "too bright" but that is not a horrible thing since I lowered it, and tweaked my graphics card color settings. The brightness is not a true wash out so I am pretty happy overall. My only question is, should I...

My bro had it. We actually had it up in the air doing quite well. But it was a bit windy and the engine just isn't powerful enough. When it stays up it is cool as hell. But not easy Good Luck Frank

I understand that I will have to run an antenna or two as well. Anyone ever try this? I bet it is hard as hell....but possible. Any info or links greatly appreciated. Thanks Frank

Well the Computer does have a mini pci. And other models of the same have built in wireless lan. This model doesn't. Do you think it will actually work if I put a wireless card in? how does the compatability work? It has a modem and ethernet built in but it is not a mini pci. The Mini PCI...

I've Run Knoppix and Mandrake on an HP and a Compaq with everything working. Although I didn't test the ethernet. Since I was in Circuit City :) Later Frank S

Anyone know about Mini PCI in laptops? Is this really new? Do lower end laptops ever have this? I want to add in an integrated ethernet card to my compaq 2182US. I doubt it seeing it is cheap. It only costs $30 bucks, awesome add on to those who can do it themselves ;) Let me know. Frank

I managed to go to Circuit City and Drop the Knoppix CD in a few different Computers :D Found out that Toshiba's have some type of booting problems. Where Compaq's and HP's booted flawlessly. So you know what I ended up getting. a $599 Comp USA Rebate Compaq Special. I managed to drop more...

A Heads up to all the Nvidia Board people. I have the Asus A7N8X Deluxe and it has 2 Nic Cards. One is 3com and one is nvidia I believe. Both Built in. I know that when I am booting Windows I use the Nvidia by default, and the 3com with the Bootup Linux Distros. I forget if the epox has 2...

I am debating if I should stick with a Compaq 2.4 Gig Celeron with a 30 gig drive, 15 inch screen,256mb that will be 768 after I upgrade and more that I paid $600 for after rebate. Compaq 2182US What do you guys think??? Please help as I must make this decision SATURDAY the latest I basically...

PS- My main functions will include: Hardcore Web Development including Macromedia products, php apache for testing, and lots of photoshop. I already know, some are going to say Celeron won't cut it. But I can say I had a 400 mhz celeron that ran it perfectly fine with 256mb. I will be...

What's the Deal with this Laptop??? Is it a good one? It seems reasonably priced for a Centrino. I am debating if I should stick with a Compaq 2.4 Gig Celeron with a 30 gig drive, 15 inch screen,256mb that will be 768 after I upgrade and more that I paid $600 for after rebate. Compaq 2182US...

I have to say that KNOPPIX is by far the easiest thing I have come across. I am mainly a windows user but only because I haven't had the time to learn linux in and out. This is where KNOPPIX takes the cake. I literally downloaded it, burned the image, rebooted my machine and had an entire...

It's worth a shot to call them.... not sure if it works. I tried my best to get the word out :) Good luck Frank S
