It's going to come down to price I would think. IMHO removable mobile graphics cards are gimmicky right now due to their being semi new. You'd have to order the upgrade from Dell and that is if they choose to offer an upgrade for what...

I believe aussie is right on this one. In theory, a RAID 0 setup should double the performance of access to the disk because each drive has to write half the data it would have to alone. The reason you don't get a perfect 100% boost...

256 is overkill, not worth the extra costs Quote: In AA and AF settings, the Mobility Radeon 9700 will perform better than the Mobility Radeon 9600 trio (in our case, an average of about 25%), but it will not increase its...

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, the terms are there to do one thing and that is to help sell the product, even if it means missleading the customer. ATI originally developed the Radeon line to establish a new clean name...

Last I heard is that there may be some early Prescotts that are compatible with older P4 mobos, which most likely would include the i865 powered mobo in the 5680. We'll just have to see though. If you absolutely have to have a high...

This has already been discussed. The 9800XT is a waste of money if you already have a 9700/9800 Pro, and I'd expect the same of the 9600XT. Basically ATI is just refreshing their products to make users think that their new product is...

Quote: Originally posted by litehedded yea but the 9800xt has officially toppled the nvidia finally. um, not really... the 9700 Pro officially "toppled" if anything was to topple anything for ATI... ...

I wouldn't trust the inquirer too closely...

you won't need a 64 bit CPU for at least another 2 years or so. And it will be at least a year before the average user could actually benefit from a 64 bit CPU as 64 bit aplications aren't very common let alone 64 bit OSes...

Or how it makes the laptop lighter as you still have to carry around extra batts? Powerlaptops shouldn't be concerned with weight unless it's like doubling it or more. 10lbs plus another 2-5 I wouldn't give a rats ass if it could...
