Try parts-people.com as well. I've bought parts from them before and they seem pretty reliable. Many of their parts are slighly used though.

Have you tried different video drivers? I run oblivion fine with no crashes/bsods, and I'm running the XGM 101.41 drivers. Because I'm overclocked and overvolted the 7900GS on a 90w power supply it ocassionally dies. All that happens is...

1. You can undervolt the CPU with a utility like RMClock or Notebook hardware control. 2. The 7900 GS just generates alot of heat, period. There's not much you can do about it. The card is clocked at 375/507 stock for 3d, but its 2d...

1. Not sure about the CPU fan, but the GPU fan kicks in at 78 degrees and stops when the GPU gets to 68 degrees under stock settings. The CPU fan seems to kick in at the same time, regardless of the CPU temperature. My CPU tends to run...

I for one would like to see an expresscard sound card on the market.

All the newer E1705's have the 7900 GS as an optional upgrade now.

The information being reported by CPU-Z is correct. When the CPU is idle, it goes down to the lowest P-state with a multiplier of 6, so 166 x 6 = 996. Remember the FSB is 667 mhz quad pumped, so the actual bus speed is 667/4 = 166.75...

I don't think there's a spec difference as far as core/memory speeds goes. But the dual pipe one should be able to dissipate heat better, which is good for overclocking.

I think it scales decently. I don't think you'd want to run your desktop at anything less than native resolution, but in games, I run wc3 and doom 3 at like 1600x1200 and I think it's still very crisp and good looking. But that's kind...

LOL hilarious. Just wondering.. what movie/TV show is that from?
