how exactly would you hook an xbox up using an S-video cable? It's mentioned in the other review but i didn't know there was any kind of adapter for that....

Ralph it (the adaptor) all comes with the system. I thought I saw an explanation for how to hook it up here somewhere.

Search for it

All you need is an S-video cable for the XBox, I would assume. You hook the XBox up as you would if hooking it up to a television set. No doubt you can also use the coaxial connection.

I may be mistaken, though.

Finally did battery. unplugged at 12:06 just chatted in IMs, surf and respond to posts on the boards. Screen at full brightness unit was at 9% at 1:00 and started beeping at 5% at 1:03 so little under an hour..

Hi, I just ordered my 9860 today. what kinda FPS are you getting in HL2, and if you dont know, run the stress test on CS source to get an accurate reading......just staring out the window for the UPS guy......

Do you guys think they'll have holiday sales on these new notebooks with PCI Express cards? I'm about to get a notebook and the 9860 looks like it's perfect for what I need (desktop replacement), but I'm wondering if I should wait til Christmas rolls around or not.

Only time you really see a price drop is when the processors go down..which usually a new one comes out. the 3.8 is due out soon but the price wont be reflected for it til Sager has them and enough of them to take orders for them..

Hi Syn, where did you sell your laptop...ebay? Once I install XP Pro on the new Toshiba HDD and memory upgrade to 1GB how much do you think I could get for a 2 year old sager 5670?

Your review makes me want to own a laptop like yours......so jealous

Yep sold it on ebay.. and you'll get more then me thats for sure .. mine was a p3 700, 128mb ram 30 gig hard drive.. gateway.. got about 400 for it.. a P4 2.8 is not a bad laptop you might pull 1000-1200 ...Best thing to do is go to Ebay and watch auctions close to yours to get an idea of what they are going for..

Don't be jealous of me hon.. I am so broke now
