The point of desktop parts is mainly that it saves money. Just compare the price difference between the 1712 and a sager with the same specs. Also your max harddrive size is bigger in the 1712. When comparing mobile parts to desktop...

The 3.06 is used in the 1700 and the 3.0 is used in the 1710 Looks like the 3.06 comes in versions with and without hyperthreading http://www.intel.com/products/notebo...obilepentium4&

I never found a really good fix for the pausing, I'm just waiting for the bios fix, but I just leave winamp running all the time and it doesn't pause nearly as often as it did. It seems to need pretty heavy activity to not pause....

A friend of mine has the zd7000 with the 1440x900 17" screen and I have the 1712. The width of 1712 is about an inch less than the zd and the height of the 1712 is a about an 1 1/2" more. Both are really 17" and...

In trying to stop the pausing I tried different hard drive access times all the way to once every 100 milliseconds and the pause still happened. A friend of mine set his ibm laptop hd to spin down every 2 minutes and the program kept...

Well, it didn't mess up, then I rebooted and no luck with pausing. I'll take a look tonight and see what I can do to fix it.

Yeah it works on mine. I left it alone awhile and tried it. Also tried it with just an open word doc running where it had been pausing and no pausing now. I also tried it with nothing open and clicked on my computer every few minutes to...
