Thanks guys for your help. The only reason why I am concerned about the processor is when I burn and watch HD movies on the computer, use multiple applications at once, etc. Last question - If I will be using the laptop for multimedia,...

I'm currently configuring a HP Pavilion dv5z, but I noticed that from its AMD processor, it has a significant void between it and the new intel penryns (T9300 or T8100); yet its gaming performance is not that bad with the IGP HD 3200 v....

Thanks both! So for my basic tasks that I will be running on the laptop, a mid-range card such as the 8400GS would be sufficient? or would I need something more powerful such as a 8400GT or 8600GS?

I am currently looking for a notebook, however, due to my budget for a notebook computer; it is nearly impossible to get both a great processor and video card. My budget - $1100 USD. Therefore, I was wondering if any of you have any...

I am currently trying to configure a HP dv6700 for personal use for 3D modeling using the Autodesk applications; however, I have run aground with the decision between an Intel or an AMD. I've always heard AMD is worse than the Intel...

Over the past year, I've been debating whether I want to get rid of my old dell dimension 2400 computer. Now, that I have a new computer... bigger, better, and overall not as old; I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on...

Another great fix, which I have heard of but not tried yet, is to use regular glasses cleaner and a microfiber cloth. It's usually cheaper and sometimes more convinient, especially if you wear glasses!

Check out the dv9700... although it's more expensive, it offers the option of a 8600 card, but at a cost of nearly $300 (for the 17" screen, card, etc..)

uhmm... are you sure you need the 8600? To upgrade to that card from the 8400 is quite a bit more than the performance offered. And unless you plan to do some pretty hard gaming on the computer, the 8400 should be enough to satisfy.

Although I haven't had a similar problem, "cloning" sounds like both screens will display the same thing while "extended" means that it will extend the desktop onto the second monitor; hence its name. Try checking the...
