The M90 is far superior to the E1705s I've seen IMHO. Man, there was a hella good deal not too long ago through Outlet. I almost wanted to send my new one back for it. It had a 2.0 Core Duo, 2 gigs of RAM, Quadro 2500M, 100 gig 7.2k...

I THINK that Dell allows you to upgrade if you want to. And from what I've seen on the online manual on Dell's site, there is only one set of instructions for replacing the vid card. From that I would assume that the 1500M also...

Linux has come a long way if you use the right distros (Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora). Even from when I first started using Linux VMs about a year ago, things have picked up a lot. I think people are getting a lot more venterous with their...

I haven't tried it out on my new M90 yet; still looking for some free partitioning software (any suggestions?). I installed it on my old Latitude C640 though, and it ran like balls. 512 RAM is NOT enough for Vista as MS likes to tell...

I used Xtreme-G's MobileForce 91.33, and my 3dmark06 went down 100 points. Don't know if the actual nVidia ones would be any better, but those didn't help. The Control Panel is much nicer though, I have to admit.

Yesterday, I was using my new M90, and went to put it on standby so I could go to class. It wouldn't go. Since then, I've had problems off and on. It looks like Windows is shutting down normally, but when the screen goes off and the...

True story here. I changed the reg key to 11 and it worked. All my icons and windows quit moving when I closed the screen. I then tried some new drivers, saw that they decreased my performance, then switched back to Dell drivers. It...

I changed. Got WB5.

M90. You can do all the 3D work you want and game. It's a fantastic machine. And technically speaking, the 7900GTX and the Quadro FX 2500M are nearly identical in construction, memory, core speeds, etc, with the difference that the...

I use the Toshiba SRS utility. It's a free download. It's pretty good, boosts the highs and mids a lot, but cuts the bass too much for my pleasure, so I usually end up using the regular sound settings. I'm sure it would sound better...
