Team, I am trying to decided between the WXGA+ screen or the WUXGA screen for the 9200 I am about to purchase. The information provided by Dell advises the WXGA+ offers 200 nits of brightness compared to the WUXGA that offers 185...

Hey Team, Which is better, the SB USB Extigy card or the PCMCIA SB card? PCMCIA offers the 'portability' feature and can do 7.1 Cheers.

ShNiVen. How did you get a 7200RPM 80gig HDD. Did you buy one from outside Dell? My understanding is that the 60gig HDD only offers 7200RPM?

When my 8600 arrived I had a problem with the 'power button'. The machine would not turn on everytime I replaced it. I called Dell that afternoon, the next day @ 1115, a technician arrived at my work and replaced the part. Quick...

The XGA+ scrren offers better brightness over the UXGA. 200 nits compared to 185 nits. They both offer the same contrast ratio of 300:1. Shame the LCD still sit at 35ms refresh rates. Imaging a 12ms laptop LCD......no ghosting at all!

Thanks guys, I thought so. In another paper on Sunday it said the 8600 came with a 128MB gForce Fo 5200 card. Since when?

Hi there, Not too bad. Two weeks ago they had the $1000.00 offer, here is what I got: 8600 P765 (2.1MHz chip) 1 gig ram (two sticks) 60 gig HDD (7200 rpm) 128 card ATI WSXGA+ 3 years complete care with theft protection Nylon...

Bucckevin, I only got the P2.1 chip because the deal offerd $1,000 off. I am asking if the P1.6 is still pretty quick. If it is, then the 9200 seems attractive due to the great screen size and of course, the better card.
