why does dell underclock it by so much? To keep it running cooler or what? And so, doesnt this mean we can just OVERclock it back up to higher, then that would narrow the difference down alot from the 7900gs

I'm downloading the vista beta as we speak, anyone tried it on the dell e1705 yet? Any driver issues or major usability problems? Or should I just forget about it... lol will half life 2 and world of warcraft run?

I'm planning to upgrade the ram myself to 2gb, dell's a ripoff, now what is the difference between: DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) and the: DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231066 It's the same...

Call me stupid but 432/945 oc, what is the original number before oc? And does it even run stable, any artifacts or crashes? Arent you like burning out your video card (shorten overall life span) by running it much faster?

Is that easy to do? The nvidia drivers supports OC natively right? You just drag the slider up higher?

Do you think I can just swap out my 7800 and upgrade to the 7900gs down the road? Cause I think 7800 is more than enough right now for ALL games right? And how much more expensive would the 7900gs be? $500 ?

I just read in the PC WORLD I got in my mail box today that they reviewed a DELL E1705/9400 w/ nvidia 7900gs (they say available in june)!!! wat the heck, and I just ordered mine yesterday with the 7800... should I cancel my order and...
