With the mods and upgrades I have done to my laptop, I knew it wasn't going to last forever. So far, so good though. Tonight I decided to run a few prime95 windows because I wanted to make sure the processor was still functioning....

From what I have read, Dell wouldn't support me upgrading my bios from i9300 to XPS gen 2 bios. Anywho, I don't think it would be a Dell issue anyhow, it doesn't random shutdown. When I place my screen against the keyboard, it acts...

I installed a 7800gtx the other day. It didn't seem to have any glitches until I came across closing my screen. I noticed it when I was done testing out the card, I went back about an hour later, opened and it was dead. Inital...

Has anyone heard what the system requirements are for vista? I was reading in PC magazine that Windows Vista's Aero Glass GUI will only run on less than 10% of the computers out there right now. I am assuming that is prebuilt...

Wow, I am simply amazed at how strong this little video card is. I have the desktop version, and 1) it takes up a descent size of the case; 2) takes up two power connectors (which made me nervous at first when deciding if it was worth...

Yeah EPP is the way to go. I did that through my work and ended up with 37% off my i9300. The 37% I saved did go back into the laptop however, with the pin mod, two 1gb sticks, and a 7800gtx. All in all, with the mods I ended up...
