    XPS M1330 CCFL and LED Interchangeability?

    I'm planning on replacing the LCD panel (lid and bezel - do I need anything else?). I'm reverting to the CCFL because of cost issues. I forgot to mention in my initial post but my LED screen is cracked. The price difference between an LCD and CCFL screen is about $200, which I can't justify...

    XPS M1330 CCFL and LED Interchangeability?

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to use the CCFL LCD in my XPS M1330 which was shipped with the LED backlight. I will also be getting a new lid and bezel while I am at it. Will I run into any issues? Are the plugs in the motherboard any different between the two LCDs? Thanks.

    Rebate Question

    I was just wondering, if my friend were to purchase an item from the store that has a $20 rebate with a debit card, would I be able to send in the rebate under my name and have the check written out to me? I ask this because my friend bought something for me while he was at the store and didn't...

    Laptop Problem with LCD

    Thanks for the reply. I actually took the laptop apart and reseated the cable the other day and I did see an improvement. However, when I reseated the cable, I also cleaned the inverter so I couldn't pinpoint which one was the culprit. What happens if the inverter is bad? Doesn't that just...

    Laptop Problem with LCD

    Hi, I have a very annoying issue with my laptop. Everytime I move or adjust the LCD, I get horizontal lines flickering across the screen. I know that it's either the inverter or ribbon cable. It may even be the backlight but the thing is, if the display isn't moving, the screen is fine. I've...

    So how does my budget build look?

    Yup, like FFFBlackImage said, Fry's is having their anniversary sale and they have the E5200 and MSI G31 mobo for $80. An interesting note is that they have a new combo at the same price; E5400 and a Biostar G31 motherboard. Should I get the E5400 or the E5200?!?

    Macbook ejects CDs by itself...

    I just purchased a used Macbook without a hard drive so I went out not too long ago and picked one up. I'm trying to install OS X and for some reason the disk keeps on getting ejected. When I turn on the Macbook, all I see is a gray screen. When I turn it on without the harddrive, I see a folder...

    Fry's b&m instore E8400 & Ecs G31T-M $149.00 E7300

    I'm going to be making my way to Fry's later today. If anyone needs anything, let me know. I can only grab a few combos since they are limited to 1 per household but none the less, I'll be able to just go up to different reps. The total to you will be the actual total (after tax) plus shipping.

    9600GSO to 4830?

    I'll admit, that is a crazy overclock but if I was to go all out, I would just upgrade my POS machine =).

    9600GSO to 4830?

    I agree, which is why I am not going to be volt-modding this card. I have the dual slot cooler and it does just fine. Instead of putting the money into going balls-to-the-wall with this card, I rather just put some money down on a new card.

    9600GSO to 4830?

    I have experience with soldering and volt-mods and such but since this computer is going to be used for writing papers and school work, I want something that is 100% reliable. I did not turn up the fan speed on the card but I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for all of the inputs!

    9600GSO to 4830?

    Thanks a lot for the information guys! I was able to disable the driver signing enforcement and am now in Rivatuner. Hopefully I'll be able to get some extra juice out of this card.

    best cheap card (under $40) for WOW

    I know how it feels like to be in a stretch and I actually have a 9600XT that is sitting on my desk. If you want it, it's yours. Can't guarantee that it'll run WoW well but I'm sure that it'll do better than any 5200.

    9600GSO to 4830?

    I actually DL'd it last night and everytime I start it, it says that it cannot load the RivaTuner64.sys file. Then it goes on to say something about how driver signing enforcement needs to be disabled.

    9600GSO to 4830?

    I currently have a 9600GSO 384MB and am looking at the 4830s. I know that there is an increase in performance but will it be noticeable at my resolution? I play at 1440 x 900 (19" WS). I know I can sell my card for around $50-60 and the 4830 is going for $100. If I am upgrading, should I just...

    Which is better out of the two?!?

    So I decided to put together a junker with all of the parts that I have laying around my house. While rummaging through my closet, I managed to find two video cards; an eVGA 8500GT and an ATI X800 Vanilla. The 8500GT has 256 MB of memory and the X800 has 128 MBs. Out of the two, which is better...

    Do you have to have a certain memory sequence?

    Should you install Vista using a certain amount of memory and then add more memory after the install? My friend told me to do this but I'm curious as to what you guys think about this.

    Motherboard Problem with Video Card

    I have a problem with my computer. Before I begin, the motherboard in question is an ECS 7050. I know that the motherboard SUCKS but I'm poor and did a build on a budget. Anyways, now that I've cleared that up, everytime I have the video card installed, the computer starts acting weird. The...

    Who signed Microsoft's "Management?s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting"?

    I read that bit of information but I think that it's mandatory for the two to verify the contents of the report, which means that they don't have to be the ones that sign it. Do you think Microsoft would send me an annual statement before tomorrow? I also have their proxy statement, which is...

    Who signed Microsoft's "Management?s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting"?

    Thanks for the quick replies. I thought it was the CFO as well but like NS1 said, there is no requirement for management to sign the report. I read the report itself, I just don't know who signed it. I don't even know why my professor wants us to bother finding out who signed the stupid...
