I believe the Pentium M 735 was the best at overclocking. That's the one that runs at 1.7Ghz w/ a 400MHz FSB, and it overclocked incredibly reliably to 2.26Ghz. There were some that had good luck with the 745s (1.8GHz, overclockede to...

1) Do you currently own an SSD? Are you planning on purchasing one or more in the near future? Yes, 1x OCZ Vertex 3 120GB, 2x OCZ Vertex 2 120GBs (mirrored in a Database server) and 1x Transcend 32GB PATA I'm not sure; I just upgraded my...

Eh, I'm really not interested in a desktop. I haven't owned a desktop for over 8 years & really don't see any reason to consider one now. Granted, I'm not a super-hardcore gamer; the m1710 plays pretty much everything I want. If a...

nope; I spoke too soon... Turns out despite the tech's assurances that they were the same card, the new card is a Quadro NVS 510M That's a disappointment; I tried to play a quick game (HL2) on it and it feels a lot slower.. Guess...

Apparently they do have some 7950gtx's lying around; I'm back in business! yay!
