I would not suggest overclocking (although as mentioned you might have some luck with the GPU). Why? Heat! That's one of the reasons Toshiba used the 6600-TE version of the 6600 in this system. Slower but Less heat. If you want a...

3dmark 2005 Score: ~1300-1500 depending upon drivers used and when on AC power. (if performned on battery -dc-, if you disable all powersaving and maximize gpu and cpu speeds, performance is about the same). Tecra M3 with the...

If you are referring to 3dmark 2005 that's a normal score for your graphic solution with 64 megs. If you want 'practical' benchmarks for 'current applications' I would suggest 3dmark 2003. Should be more accurate. For...

Correct Lets look at it this way Mobility Radeon X600 at Stock Speeds: 3dMark 2003 Score: -3636- CPU: Intel Pentium M 1997 MHz GPU: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600, 398 MHz / 249 MHz (500 effective) Display Driver: 6.14.10.6497...

HAve you perhaps taken a look at the Dell Inspiron 9300 or the Dell Xps Gen2 ? If you're a "gamer", the nvidia 6800 gpu in the 9300 (or the 6800 ultra in the Xps-2) will likely keep you on top of the gaming world for...

Well let me see what help I can offer you sir 1) In terms of 'futureproof' that depends in which aspects. For the cpu, the future seems to be 64-bit and/or dual-core. Honestly though, You should have no trouble with a 1.6ghz chip...

Just an fyi, as an nc6000 owner, I would say if you are a Software Engineer who utilizes Java's Swing or any 2d libs (or does any work utilizing the Java 3d Api) this system is -not- recommended. Very problematic. Also make sure...

Just an fyi, apparently the 'fan issue' is being looked into by Hp. Check out Hp's web forums (the Evo section). Thus far 65+ posts (5 of which are from Hp/Compaq employees). They are aware of the issue but are not sure which...

The majority of Hp business notebooks also have a customzie option, however when it says "customize this model" it's hardly customization. Models that offer a "Build Your Own" tab should be your selection. ...
