  • Quick Quandry related to a video upgrade

    A friend of mine recently received a Dell Vostro 1520 laptop with the standard Mobile IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500MHD (for suck). Knowing that the NVIDIA GeForce 9300M is also available for this model, is there some means of upgrading the graphics card to this or another, aftermarket, without breakin the bank or the computer?

  • Looking at a laptop for the first time in 8 years

    So the last laptop I bought was in 2001 and ended up not using it much.  But now I'm starting to travel more and I don't like constantly having to rely on company laptops (read no game installation on long, boring trips).  Because this will be primarily for travel, weight is a key requirement for me.  But I also like big monitors, I ...

  • Full System Over Upgrade?

    Hey, I have just got my copy of the Windows 7 Upgrade disc.

I didn't get anything that helped me, and I was wondering if it was worth it to sell it and get the entire Windows 7, or format my HDD and ...

  • Hard Drive Replacement question

    I'm replacing a laptop HDD for a friend which will no longer boot. The drive may well be bad, or going bad, but I would like to recover the data off of the drive if at all possible. Trouble is, when I tried to plug it into my desktop, the cable does not seem to fit. The laptop drive is a Samsung MP0804H which has an Ultra-ATA 100 interface. From ...
