Why didn't you give the so call slow drive HD a chance? I find its real world performance is just as good as the 7200's in my desktop. Post your specs when you get it install.

7200rpm drives would be great in here,load times for games,but the 4200prm will generate less heat.A 160g drive can hold alot of game images,all you need to do is wait 5 seconds more.

btw:To run Quake3 on lcd properly @max res.
1. run the game at least once (as I'm sure you have).
2. go into the baseq3 folder and open up the .cfg file in wordpad.
3. make the following changes:
seta r_customheight "900"
seta r_customwidth "1440"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta cg_fov "105"

4. Save

and you need to make a backup in case things go wrong.

A question on the remote: does it only work for Toshiba's Express Media Player or does it also work in Windows (Media Player, PowerDVD, Winamp etc)? It worries me for Toshiba called it 'Express Media Player Remote Control'.

Good question but I doubt it can control the windows apps. I'll let you know tomorrow what I find out.

In case anyone cares: there's a decent chance this is a MXM notebook

Anyone notice that the Toshiba P105-S921 is now gone from Toshiba's website?

Probably out of stock or they may be updading some of the options or despcription information.

It happened once before that they "dissappeared" for a day or so.

gyoung345 · 05-26-2006, 07:39 AM

It's also gone from Circuit City's website. You can find in listed under Toshiba but when you click the link you get an error.

det922 · 05-26-2006, 11:14 AM

turns out ur all wrong, the remote almost acts as a mouse one day when i was bored and pusing the arrow buttons it was scrolling menu's by itsself, im going to dj a party 2 night using my p105-s921 the creative audigy2zs card and creative program it works universally but it works better with certian programs, windows media player it works perfectly in, the creative one has to be focused to work and if u have a menu highlighted it will scroll with arrow keys, spend 5 mins and play with it that lil remote can do alot
