Yep, actually I'm writing this under Vista with a Z71V and Aero Glass. You'll have to go here to grab the modded inf so that the wddm version of the nvidia desktop drivers will recognize the Go 6600. It's working pretty nice, although a...

What about a S96J? Those are cheap and come ith X1600s. Otherwise, an ASUS W3J or A8JM (both 14") would give pretty comparable performance to the i9300. That's about as good as it gets for 15.4" and below.

That HEL30 is ugly as sin. :P I haven't seen the HGL30 around yet (aside from that thread from a while back...)

Errrr.... sooo I don't want to stray from the animal abuse topic, but.... Degausser? Those run, what, a couple thousand these days? Errmmm... kitten guts? (there, back on topic)

I would download it if not for the fact the university limits my bandwidth to 3GB/week... But when I go home this weekend. It'll get downloaded.

I'd strongly recommend the A8JM. As ungcas said earlier, it's got just about the same performance as the W3J at quite a lower price. And it's not fugly or anything. A very nice laptop and gets the same amount of battery life (~3 hours)...

I've got a X800XT PE (I know, ancient eh?) at home in a HTPC connected to a 1280x720 resolution HDTV and running Oblivion at that resolution with medium settings and no AA is straining it. The rest of the system (X2 3800+ @ 2.5GHz) is...

If you take a look at this performance review: http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2746&p=4 And stick the performance of the 7900GS somewhere around the 7800GT shown there, you'll have a pretty good idea of how Oblivion would...

Maybe a pump and dump by the analyst, but you definitely can't take the silence from either company to mean it's not going to happen. Companies rarely, if ever, comment on mergers and such before they're officially announced. There's a...

No chance that the X1600 even stands a chance against the 7900GS. In Oblivion the X1600XT is hardly faster than a 7600GS, much less the 7600GT, very much less the 7900GS. Go with the 7900GS. The X1600 isn't that great for games like...
