So this can't be done with the XPS Gen 2? Even though I have the same freakin' lights and what is basically the same chassis? Even with the latest Quickset, I get no options ANYWHERE to enable the lights to go to music... Pretty lame...

MY guess is that you didn't wipe out your hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows when you got it, did you? Or AT LEAST run PC-Decrapifier? Dell's are notorious for being overloaded and bloated full of crapware that slows your...

The Lenovo ThinkPad T60p fits pretty well. You can get it with 14.1" 1400x1050 screen, T7200 C2D, 100GB 5400RPM hard drive, XP Pro, up to 4GB RAM (I'd recommend the 2GB DDR-667 option), Dual-Layer DVD burner, wireless, fingerprint...

I come along and tout drivers every once in a great while when a certain one is good enough to motivate me to post about it here. Well, the time has come, and that great new driver is 93.71, made even better by Tweaksrus.com and their...

That is so cheap! I actually paid $3600 WITH a 40% off coupon for MY XPS Gen 2 back in May of last year. How much would mine fetch? 2.13GHz Sonoma (Undervolted stabley to run much cooler at 1.1v@16x, and 0.7v@6x) 2GB DDR2-533 RAM...

I still think it's all about the clockspeed. You can get an XPS with a 2.26GHz P-M, and the Core Duo in the 9400 can "only" go up to 2.16GHz. And with most games, except for the few that take advantage of it, the higher clock...
