    Dell laptop (e1705) cpu overclocking potential

    I'm looking to buy said laptop. I've heard that the duo runs relatively cool. Are there any overclocking options on the mobo? I'm looking to pair it with a 7900gs go, so even a slight bump will keep the lappy around longer. This will be used for gaming at resolution 1440x800 (if i remember...

    My question is simple: Will the dual core make better use of the extra ram than single core? How much of a difference will I see? ie: running world of warcraft and warcraftIII at the same time.

    A motherboard with good ram cooling layout

    I'm looking to get a new motherboard, one that can run dual channel (2 sticks, not 4) with a little bit of space in between. Most ram availible nowadays have heatspreaders on them. On most mobos (such as my Neo4 platinum) the ram slots are so close together that the heatspreaders touch...

    CPU + videocard bottlenecking?

    I just bought a 7900gt and I plan to do the volt mod to get gtx performance. This is on an Athlon 3500 OCed to 2450mhz. The venice don't OC well :(. I can get an extra 50mhz or so by raising the voltage a bit. It's running at 1.425v at the moment. Is my CPU a little too slow for my video...

    Best value 939pin nforce4 motherboard

    Value isn't really the word I wanted to use, but it'll work. I have msi neo4 platinum non sli, but it doesn't allow for anything above 2.85 on the vdimm. I'm looking for a board that's not necessarily packed on features, but allows 3.3volts or above on the vdimm for my UTT memory chips :)...
