    Dell XPS 1530 Review

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there was really no bloatware on it besides google desktop. Even the 3 years of McAfee that I got is really light and nice. It is actually the smallest process running on my computer at 0 cpu and just 320KB of RAM usage. It has anti spyware and virus and a...

    Dell XPS 1530 Review

    I got wc3 up and running a few hours ago. It was suprisingly fast and easy to get it transfered over. Just had to set up as admin program and put in compatability mode to work right. I really like vista. I guess I havent had to deal with any compatability issues like a lot of people.

    Dell XPS 1530 Review

    I just got my 1530 today, and i have to say that it is awesome. It only took about 2 weeks to get here after I ordered it, so delays are a thing of the past, I think. The LED backlit screen is really great. It does get so bright that it will hurt my eyes. I compared it to my Vostro...

    Obama & McCain EQUAL in polls?

    Have YOU read Obama's polocies? I doubt it, since he hardly reveals what he has planned, but when he does, the media doesnt cover it at all. He wants to kill our military and prevent us from using SUVs and heating/air conditioning. Those are some things that he has said (not in those words)...

    ATI 4xxx Series Thread

    I have read that the 4870 X2 will be 250 watt tdp, not 300. You also must consider their minimum tpds which is supposed to be insanely low.

    Boycott Dell...here is why

    There is no reason to boycot Dell just because they wont send you a power cable after your waranty expired. They replaced it under warenty, so they did there job. It isnt their problem to supply you with them after the waranty is up.

    Cox and Bittorrent Throttling?

    Try unplugging your router and modem for like 5-10 min or something. I have heard that some routers keep all of the conections that bittorrent makes open for a long time for some reason. This should reset both the router and modem, which may help.

    1080i resolution question

    Just think about it for a sec. A Blu-Ray disc has a good 50GB of space (approximately). Divide that by 2.2 and you get nearly 23. So this bandwidth would be able to play a Blu-Ray disc in a good 23 seconds. I think it should be able to easily handle 1080i. Idk how much bandwidth 1080i...

    LCD Monitor opinion requred

    I'd go for the BenQ. It has more colors and a higher contrast ratio. But I would just go to newegg.com and look. You can find reviews on monitors.
