It all depends on how much money you want to spend. The 7900GTX has 512MB of ram and 24 pixel pipelines. The 7900GS has 256MB and only 20 pixel pipelines. The 7900 GO GTX is very overclockable as well, and when both are overclocked...

I have 2 laptops, a Dell XPS M1710 and a Asus A8JM.... The M1710 has a 7900GTX with the 17'' screen native res 1920x1200 and the A8JM has a 7600 Go (which is way faster than a 7400 Go) and a 14'' screen with a native res of 1280x800. I...

If you want a 14'' or 15'' notebook with decent graphics, you don't have to wait for dell. Asus has plenty of 14'' and 15'' notebooks with 7600's and X1600's. There are also other manufacturers like Toshiba and Lenovo/IBM that put...

I love my XPS M1710, but hated my Inspiron 6400/e1505. My Inspiron 6400/e1505, had 2 dead pixels on the LCD, and the screen had the worst light leakage I had ever seen. I would rate the build quality of the e1505 was average, but the...

If they costed the same amount I would probably buy a 2010 over a 1710. Although I own a m1710, I bought a m1710 because it costed less not because I thought it was better. I would be pretty happy with a X1800. I waaayyyy prefered my...

hmmm... there is a noticeable amount of light bleeding there. I am considering this laptop, I like the specs but light bleeding turns me off. Quote: Originally Posted by ExplodingLemur Ok, I've got some pictures up at...

Go with the X1400 not only is it faster, it is cheaper. nVidia's drivers are overrated, their linux drivers compile to the wrong location in Fedora 5, and their Vista beta drivers are absolutely horrendous with a non working CP. I...

I agree, in terms of performance Dell has a big gap in their product lineup. You go right from the entry level discrete graphics 7300/7400, X1300/X1400 on the e1505 and M1210, all the way to a 7900GS on the e1705, and 7900GTX on the...

I had the problem with the laptopvideo2go inf with various nvidia drivers as well. I got the 91.31 drivers to properly detect the lid closure by modding the inf and mixing in some of the files from the dell set. I also fixed that...
