cpu: 37-40 gpu: 42-45 dimm: 48 hd: 35 Other: 37 Of course, this is with a P4 2600, but I cant tell the difference (except, of course the benchmark numbers, but I dont care about that )... I'm looking forward to the increased...

I was considering replacing my 3.4 northwood with a 2.6... just to see what the battery life would be. I don't think I'd see that much real performance difference (I know the benchmarks will go down...) Thoughts? Art

Mandrake works quite well for me. The only thing that I haven't gotten is power management, but my display and wireless work quite well. If you need any config files, let me know. For wireless, I used the...

I've seen the same problem, and it goes away if I let the Dell utility control wireless. for some reason, WindowsXP sometimes takes over and that's when problems start... (Other than that, I've seen that if the card gets really hot,...
