A widescreen 14" w/ an X300 would overlap the Inspiron 6000 too much if u ask me... The only added benefit would be the WUXGA resolution. ...a 4-5 lb. 13.3 inch w/ an X300 would be a great in-betweener for the 700m and the 6000.

I run Counterstrike:Source at about 50fps or so at default settings, which is HIGH detail, trilinear, no antialiasing, at 1280x800 resolution which looks pretty nice. It is quite adequate. But sometimes I'd run it at 720x480, which...

Me too...a couple of thigns went wrong... General instability... Monitor won't turn off w/ the lid closed... etc.etc... Big regrets~ Went back to Dell Drivers and ATI Tray Tools...

I'm thinking of buying a new optical drive for my Inspiron 6000D laptop. I was wondering whether I should order one that is Cable Select or Master/Slave... Are there any other compatibility issues I should be aware of?

I have not gotten it to work. even with Omega Drivers, my I6000D has no settings for a 960x600 desktop And when I try to run Counterstrike:Source at that resolution, the image is too large for the screen, so I only see a section...

Can someone confirm that the Inspiron 6000D Latitude D810 Precision M70 use the same/similar form factor? I'm wondering whether it would be possible to install a Quadro FX1400 or X600 onto my laptop...

There's also the fact that the X1 contains the Sonoma Chipset and is pinmoddable, where as the 700m is not. Although I don't know how safe pinmodding would be, considering it has no fan, but the fan on my 6000 is hardly ever on to...

Got the idea from those flash-memory based hard drives that are coming out. They're supposed to have read speeds as good as a raptor. I'm wondering how fast the little slot on the 6000's can read~

Is it possible to boot from the Secure Digital slot on the Inspiron 6000?

I'm looking for a program that can simultaneously monitor: CPU Speed/Usage CPU Temperature Memory Usage Virtual Memory Usage Video Memory usage GPU Temperature And display it graphically. Anything like that out there?
