Good to hear that the technology is finally here. It's too bad that Toshiba neutered the rest of the laptop. I'm in the market for a laptop with an 800MHz bus and a hyperthreading P4 for 3d design work, but I also need a fast hard...

It seems that trends in games are going away from texture-heavy to lighting-heavy (just take a peek at Doom3 and Halflife...) While I'm sure that next-gen games will use big textures and quite a few of them, I doubt 256MB would give...

Damn edit.... "The point of 64-bit computing isn't about running today's software twice as fast as a 32-bit computer." should be.. "64-bit computing can't run 32-bit software twice as fast, that isn't the...

If your looking to do anything with video, then get the 8890, you will need RAID and the fastest available processors, memory and bus. You can buy an external video capture device if you need to. It would be a good idea to get a DVD±R...

Uhh... the only thing uniwell made was the case, keyboard, trackpad, ect. The critical parts are all from other companies.. the mobo, screen, ram, ect. Alienware chose them as the ODM for the new area-51 over clevo and compal, so they...

I don't have too much to compare to, so I was just wondering on what the level of response for 3dsmax was, more of a qualitative opinion. From what I've been reading, 3dsmax's performance is more reliant on CPU performance than...
