Hey, so I finally got my Dell Precision M20 somewhat game-capable (used the DH Modtool to install desktop ATI Catalyst drivers on it). Now I'm happy, except for the fact that it gets pretty toasty when gaming, particularly at the back. ...

There's actually a third way too, though it suffers from somewhat severe lag and image quality limitations (adequate for turn based RPGs or strategy games but a bit hobbling for any real time action games). Namely, if you happen to have...

Okay, so this is a somewhat hypothetical question as at the moment I have neither the budget nor justification for this, but I've been greedily eyeing the Fujitsu P1120 (http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Eco...n.do?series=P1) as a...

Hrm okay, well the card is installed as an x300 (that is, Windows thinks it is one), but I checked the bios and it still thinks it's a Firegl V3100. And it's still acting like one (e.g. OpenGL dependent games are generally...

Always being the speed enthusiast, I did some research on this, and I couldn't find anything to verify that setting that to 5 makes any sense. http://www.theeldergeek.com/prefetch...-_altering.htm Most all sites provide this info,...

I'm actually in a somewhat similar situation (thread here) with my Precision M20 (essentially the same notebook as yours). I installed the OmegaDrivers (omegadrivers.net I think, or Google it) and they're working fine, though my...

I'm sorry to bump here, but I really am wondering if somebody out there has the answer to this. I've done a bit more research, and still most people are trying to do the opposite (that is, make an X-series act like a FireGL, not a...

Thanks, that's what I thought. The one thing I need is to know how exactly to "force" the type to be an X300. I've installed the latest Omegadrivers as I said, and in the display config in the control panel it actually does...

So, I picked up one of those cheap M20s from the Outlet awhile back, and it's been great. The one catch is it doesn't game very well at all. I expected this, of course, since the graphics card is just a 64mb Ati Mobility FireGL v3100...

Anybody? Sorry to bump, but I really would like opinions on this. I found a different link to the HD: http://www.colamco.com/store/product...Source=Froogle There's a 120gb version at Newegg for ~$230-40, and an 80gb version floating...
