I'm considering selling my clevo laptop, which is about 10 months old. I purchased it as a bare bones kit from R&J technology. It's in excellent condition and has ran flawlessly ever since I've had it. Specs Display: 17...

I've spanned the WWW looking for this but to no avail. Does such a document exist? Can anyone clue me in on this? Clevo has their ftp site upon which one might expect to find such a thing. However, they seem to only offer user manuals,...

BTW, even if you use a 64-bit processor to run with a 32-bit OS, you don't get an extended address space. Memory addressing is constrained by the OS, not the processor. In other words, the size of a process' virtual address space in...

I'm not referring to 32-bit programs emulated on a 64-bit CPU. I'm talking true 64-bit computing. Software written specifically for a 64-bit platform will straight-up SMOKE anything written on a 32-bit one. Plenty of people are running...

The benefit of 64-bit processing is more significant than just memory management, although the increased address space is a huge win. Don't forget that the processor registers are also 64-bits, so each CPU instruction manipulates twice...

Just curious, what type of music do you spin? House, trance, hip/hop...?

ZipZoomFly claims to have the Ferrari 5000 in stock. I'm starting to drink the Core Duo coolaid, though. I've held out for a long time for the TX2. But now, after learning about its performance relative to Core Duo coupled with the...

Just curious, what does the HDMI port buy you? Is that to enable connection to a docking station? What else can it be used for?

I don't what "Media Direct" is, but no question, watching the movie from the hard drive will save more power than from the cd drive. Why expend battery power to spin an additional disk, at a faster rotational velocity, with...

I'd add tigerdirect.com into the mix, too.
