Yea, but the system ram isnt taken unless its needed (different from past solutions where the bios actually reserves the ram at POST, and windows never sees it).
gerry, wow, 2mbps down and 1.6mbps up? That is a VERY strange ratio. usualy cable modems run anywhere from 4-8mbits down and 320-512kbits up. A premium account might get around 640kbits up.
Well bluetooth 1.1 headsets have been around...
Hmm, well you cant run a higher clock, the 2050 is a slightly weeker version of the 2300 (wow am I glad I snagged my 1505 before they pulled that bullshiat). However you should have no problem running ram at slower speeds then it is rated.
atx, they only get toasty when they are in use. Like normal CPUs, they dont work more then they need too, so if your just in windows doing 2d stuff, the gpu isnt drawing much power or creating much heat. Nvidia actually severly...
It dosnt use anything more then standered windows cdrom drivers. Uninstall the drive and reboot. If that dosnt fix it, reinstall windows. If that dosnt fix it, the drive is dead.
steddy, dont let the shared memory scare you away. This isnt the slow AGP from yesteryear. While not as good as dedicated still, the speed over the pcie bus is quite abit faster (infact, aside from shared memory solutions, todays video...
Considering most cable modems dont upload at more then 50Kbytes, or .05Mb per second, bluetooth 1.1 would actually be fast enough. Now usualy a usb 2.0 camera would offer better (and be more expensive) video quality, its still going to...
I thinks the inspirons (with the help of sale coupons) touch a nice price point. For just under $1000 you can get a really good screen, cpu, video card ect good for most laptop use and even as a non gaming desktop replacement.
However...
