Just to add my 2 cents - this appears to be a very, very common problem. I suspect that every single 700m sold will have this problem in the first year or two, or nearly every single one. I have purchased two 700ms. One had this...

Best thing to do is go to newegg.com Look for their selection and read the reviews - there are people on websites that will swear by xyz brand product, but unless you have a review by a professional or a lot of reviews by regular...

I administer hundreds of computers for a library at a UC (UCR). Firefox is standard fare for all staff computers, and we have no stability problems. On computers where the user is an admin (including my many computers at home, and my...

My two 700m's both came with a 71 WH battery.

Possible? Anything is. Likely? I think you know the answer. Try looking at your settings. Different cards may need to be set up somewhat differently to achieve the same results. You should have no trouble getting ideal colors out...

I just tested Half-Life 2 on my 700m, and it runs fine with all settings at the minimum except texture detail (medium) and shadar level (high, believe it or not - I don't think it's really set at high, though, it just says it is, and if...

We'd need more informtation - lots more, most likely, unless this is a common problem. E.G. How is your system setup? Is the computer connected directly to a modem? If so, by USB or by RJ45 (regular networking cable)? Is it...

Two things: First off, it's only worth the 75 if you really need it. I use my 700m for school, music, vacation, movies, etc, and honestly, it rarely goes over about 1ghz ... most of the time it's underclocked to save power, and it's...

I have heard from an inside source (who actually has one of these 710's) that the only update is the gpu - it is no longer integrated (that is still there, though). They have added an Nvidia 7800 with 512 megs of ram and OC'ed to 800...
