Please do us a favor and post back if and when you get this resolved. I'm sure many would be interested in hearing how things worked out for you. Good luck, Ciao

You have a few choices actually. The easiest would be to find an ATI x600 128 meg card. They made them to fit the M70 and Latitude D810. It's a drop in replacement. All you need to do is uninstall the nividia drivers and install the ATI...

I don't know.... maybe its because I spend so much time running Linux that I'm not a fan of the reinstall Windows first school of thought. Most of the time when Windows crashes as described it's because of some underlying reason. Either...

gabiz_ro, I wish you luck in this endeavor, but I don't think you'll have much success. That is, unless you're also a programmer capable of writing a video card BIOS. I'm pretty sure that even if you were able to replace the memory chips...

Shaun as far as I know ALL Debian based distros use apt as a package manager. In fact many RPM based Distros are now using it too. For example PCLOS, which I recommended earlier in this thread, uses apt for package management and I...

Correct. You could also run Sabayon off a DVD, but since it's got a lot more on it, it's considerably slower than PCLOS. If you just want to try and not install, download the PCLOS CDROM. You'll find a complete basic KDE installation as...
