Yes, I know about speed step. Notebook Hardware Control lets you control the voltage and the clockspeed. The profile Max Performance is supposed to keep the computer running at highest possible clockspeed. However even at that...

I run a 1.8ghz Pentium M on my Inspiron 6000. At the moment I'm running Notebook Hardware Control, and have the setting at Max. Performance. However when I run a game, after 10-30 minutes of gameplay, my computer slows down considerably...

i played doom 3 at 640x800 or whatever. At stock settings, I got 40-60 frames at medium settings. Plus I played it in a window so it looked high res. Pretty nice.

You'll always find that one person who wants you to get the best system spec'd out to the highest possible config, despite any possible budget constraints, it happens. If you get a i6000d spec'd out that way the only thing you're...

If you don't game and don't need the beast of a graphical processor that the 9300 had, the i6000d is the way to go. It's more mobile (though when I first got it, the 6000 was much bigger then I thought it would be, the screen size is...

Most likely, when I close my lid it goes into standby, once I open it it comes back on. So you might have a problem, though I don't see it as a deal breaker, just don't turn it off or make it go into standby.

Btw, what temp should my comp run normally? Typically, it runs at 41 or 42 degrees.

Hey, I finally got my 6000 and so far am extremely happy with it, I notice though that default settings (contrast, brightness, gamma) are way too strong or too bright. (Well not brightness since I pumped that to full). What levels...

Well, in that case, it's probably best to go with the WXGA screen, since it has the lowest native resolution.
