I never did any of the performance benchmarking tests that I probably should have, but here's what I did notice: I first tried the T7200 in my WinXP system and honestly didn't notice a huge difference over the T2400 that came in it -...

Back at the time I was doing some upgrades, it seemed the conventional wisdom was to just skip the T7600 and go with a T7200 or T7400 and save some money - the difference in performance between these chips is negligible, but by stepping...

I can't speak to the FX-1600, but a C2D processor will work. I had a T2250 in my laptop and put a T7200 in it and it worked fine.

Hi, I've read the various threads on flashing BIOS etc. for the various nVidia cards, but none of them seem to address my question: I want to install an FX1500 dual-pipe (I know I need to modify the base) in an E1705 and I have...

Okay - thanks all...I guess it's fine then. Also, when I "wiggled" it, I wasn't being too aggressive....I'm always gentle on all my equipment. My old Inspiron 1100 is still in near perfect shape. I actually preferred the power...

Well, now you've all got me worried. With the adapter plugged in, you can wiggle the plug end side to side or up and down a little bit. I did use a smaller instrument to probe the jack on the mobo and it does not move at all...i.e. it's...

Hi folks, First off, let me say that my system is working fine, I just have a dopey question created by nothing other than paranoia.... My power cord has virtually no friction going in and out of the jack on the back of my E1705,...
