lol it took 5 months for a post of mine to be bumped! =) Glad (ok not 'glad' but you know what i mean) that i'm not the only one experiencing this issue. i've basically resigned myself to running a wireless connection even though the...

Using Omega 2.5.44 now and City of Heroes is artifacting like a mofo with or without oc'ing. At least it finally identifies the Mobility Radeon 9700 properly.... ok maybe that's not much consolation after all.

I have what people are calling now the 'original' power supply that came with the 8790 with the fan. 1) It's never hot. In fact, I've had my laptop on with A/C power for the past week and the warmest the p/s ever gets is only slightly...

CJoshuaV, I had the same concerns moving from 15" to 17". 2) You can choose to play them in their native resolution without stretching (with the unused portion of the screen as 'black bars') so that there's no...
