How is everyone getting so high? I expected mine to be slow since its a laptop, but i got 1529/583 at 1280x800... seems a bit slow!

I've been thinking about getting a laptop for a long time. I did a lot of research and decided to wait until Yonah came out. I was between an Acer and a Lenovo because I had an Acer computer until about 3 years ago (P1 133) which I loved and an IBM T30 laptop, which was pretty good. When...

The other thing to consider is LCDs save you money by using less power. I have heard that they save you like 10 dollars a month though I don't know. I have seen 19" on TigerDirect.com for 190 after rebates, but they charge like 20 dollars shipping.

If you need a decent laptop, you are going to shell out 1200 dollars probably anyway. The new core duo processors are the best gaming processors other than the FX (AMD hasn't even answered with their dc notebook cpus), so I would say when you buy a good notebook now, you are buying a laptop +...

I just paid 1199 for an acer laptop from compUSA. It's a 4202WLMi and I got a 250 dollar rebate. The sale ends tomorow I think, maybe that was a different sale though. TravelMate 4202WLMi Core Duo T2300, 1,66ghz - 667mhz 2mb L2 15.4 WXGA wide TFT LCD 100GB HD 1GB DDR2 ram it has blue tooth...

I'm curious where you heard HP spends 3 billion dollars a year researching PCs... Either way, after you have built and studied 4 or 5 pcs, I'd say you can make them as good as any factory worker or machine. :)

This is a perpetual question for me since I started thinking about getting a new computer. I keep thinking "if I wait another few months I can get a much better computer." This leads to me never buying a computer, which I really want. How do I know when its good or bad to wait? Thanks.

How bad is the performance of low-powered yonahs? Do they perform the same per clock as the other yonahs or are they all around slower? And how much better is the battery life? I was looking around on Lenovo's site and of course it has no information other than the battery life is better...

"If you've been on the internet alot without protection you may have gotten a bad boy virus or two" I couldn't help but laugh at this. :)

What is the Merom supposed to be like? Fasters speeds and longer battery? I had this same question also.

How much did it cost you?

Alright, I'll set it back to normal then. Thanks.

So what is it doing when it says I'm changing the multiplier?

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I have a pentium 4 1,8ghz (Northwood, I think). In my BIOS, I can change the multiplier to anything between 0 and 50. When I restart, it still says 18 x 100.00, but I set it to 24 and it won't boot Linux all the way. It boots the kernel I think and it...

Nvidia 7300 just came out, I have no idea how good it is, but it's supposed to be $99.

Alright. That suprised me a bit. The new on-board graphics 950 from Intel has a 425mhz core and supports directx 9c, but I read that article you were talking about from andantech or whatever.

You mean you bought a pci express card?

Could you use soder in stead of thermal paste? Obviously, you would not be able to seperate the cpu from the heatsink without damaging the cpu, but would it give decent performance?

The extreme edition processors from Intel are pretty good (when they come out), but not worth the price especially since you have to overclock them to get the top performance. Most everything a pentium is good at, a gamer won't care about, or won't care how fast it gets done. AMDs are...

Alright.
