I never have actually benchmarked it believe it or not. Where I work, alot of the other engineers use IBM or Dell laptops and mine pretty much slaughters them. I mostly run Autodesk Inventor 10 and Solidworks 2005, and it runs much...

So how come these drivers work, yet if I go to ATI's website and try to download the 5.7's they won't let me install them? I have a 8790 with the new bios and I installed the 5.7's you linked here, and it seems to work just fine,...

My vote is for AVG and Sygate. The combo has worked flawlessly for me for ages. Add in Spybot, Adaware, Firefox, and Thunderbird, and I haven't ever had a single problem in well, um... forever.

The ad I saw in the new issue of Computer Shopper didn't have the 8790 in it. I thought the 9860 was the successor of the 8890 (well sorta the 8890 category, not the actual direct descendent of the 8890). I guess the 8790 is the last...

When I got my sager 8790, I really didn't need my desktop anymore, so with some small upgrades and some recycling, I ended up building a HTPC, and I am very happy with it. Quality is awesome, its quiet, and I don't have the guilt of it...

Yeah, AVG is the way to go. I've been using it for quite some time, and I swear by it. It found stuff on my system that mcafee never did. I've never had a problem with it, and it best of all its free! I now consider Norton and...
