I have the white finish and it looks very good definitely glossier than your average black notebook; but it's probably not as glossy as a VoodooPC finish, it's somewhere in the middle... Regarding the DVD-RW problem, XMeld said...

I have the MSI-1013 with the dual-layer DVD burner so I expected it to handle all sorts of DVD disks... I bought 5 FujiFilm DVD-R (for data and video) and everytime I put the disk in, the drive turns into a CDROM drive and I can't...

Man, for $300 over the previous model, they could've / should've added another 512Mb. I mean, according to amd's pricing, the new 3000+ CPU should be only $32 more than the "old" 2800+. Where's the price difference then? Quite...

Wow, I don't know how GamePC configured their Athlon64 systems, but the tests at Anandtech show a much, much bigger difference in AMD's favor: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...px?i=2275&p=10 I would be really surprised...

nark, sorry you're wrong. First of all, Windows 64 DOES NOT emulate 32 bit code - that one runs natively on AMD64. Itanium runs 32-bit in emulation, AMD64 runs it natively. Because 64-bit assembly code is actually more efficient than...

If you're worried about compilation times, check this out: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...px?i=2129&p=11 Athlon 64 3000+ performs as well as P4 2.0Ghz for a much much smaller price. Pentium 4 lags far behind. I...

FelonyFA, everything looks good with your computer. Looking closely at your numbers, 8300 is a GOOD CPU score in Aquamark. I don't have a Ferrari, but my Opteron 2.0Ghz only scores 8100 CPU points.

FelonyFA, could you post the output from dxdiag? (use Save All Information button) Also, check Display Properties / Settings / Advanced / Troubleshoot. 'Enable write combining' box should be checked. Again, if ONLY your CPU scores...
