Hey JPF, Good luck at college. =) Where are you going and what are you studying? Just a quick note about Centrino. The Centrino technology is a marketing tool from Intel. A Centrino notebook means that you have a Pentium-M...

Thanks. I appreciate the help!

Thanks! I suspected it had to do with another multiplier, but I couldn't find information about it through a casual search. (ie, I'm pretty sure my Athlon XP is a 133x2 (266 MHz) MHz bus, but I could find no information about the Intel...

Ok, So here's my dumb question: I know that your clock speed is based on your multiplier times a bus speed. So in my case, with a P-M 1.8 GHz, RM CPU Clock Utility notes that my multiplier is 18.0x. That would indicate that the bus...

I think it boils down to your preference of the 15.4" versus the 17" widescreen. The newer video card helps, but not sure how much extra performance it brings to the table. Something i had to consider when I was looking for...

I'm not sure about the hard drive, but I've called Dell and talked with tech support re: memory. Replacing / changing the memory will not affect your laptop unless the replaced memory itself is what causes the problem. (Which it...
