Acer :: Aspire 3810 Thread
Dec 4, 2009First things first is if you have a 3810 you might want to check when it was manufactured as some have overheating microphone lead issues:

Now that the bad bits out of the way lets move on shall we....

Personally for the price I would go for the LX.PE602.045 version. Its about £480 and for the price it a steal. Performance wise it will cope with day to day tasks and even more resource hogging programs like Photoshop [url], yes I know its not an ACER 3810 but it uses the same Intel SU4100 CPU. As you can see its competant enough).
And the 8 hours battery life!! You can get a USB GPS receiver and use it as a Sat Nav system, with 8 hours battery life you'll be fine
Acer :: Aspire 5935G Owner Thread
May 25, 2009A few days ago I was bought a new Acer Aspire 5935G-744G50N notebook. I would like to install the original nvidia 185.85 WHQL driver for the GT130M video card from the nvidia site. But the installer drop down me and doesn't installed the driver.
He says: "Doesn't found components for the driver". Or something like that. Okay, I install back the original Acer-Nvidia driver from the driver backup dvd, but the screen brightness is too dark. I repaired the system with the system-restore. I delete again the originally installed Acer-Nvidia driver, and I download a modded .inf with nvidia driver from the laptopvideo2go.com. That's generate a bad screen resulation and after some installs black sreens. After it, I download a "Dox" modded driver from here, too, but it doesn't work correctly, too.
My question is: How I install newest Nvidia drivers for this good laptop?
Acer :: Aspire 5930(G) Owner Thread
Oct 3, 2008I just got my Aspire 5930G here in sweden, and i have to say coming from a DELL laptop, this one is really nice.
It has a 2.0GHZ CPU which maybe is a little slow, but the grfx card (Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT) makes up for that!
3 GB RAM, HDMI/VGA ports, DVD-writer, 15.4" screen with 1280x800.
I just put in another harddrive in it (320gigger instead of 250 that came with it) and with 7200rpm instead of the original 5400 it is really much faster.
I bought the laptop for 1160$ aprox, which is pretty cheap, isnt it? =)
Just tried 3dmarks 2006 and it gets 5567 points which is VERY good for this kind of cheap laptop, "for the win"!
It seems this laptop is pretty rare still, im not sure its new on the market, but can other owners please write here, maybe some tips or so
Wonder if i for instance can put another (faster) CPU in this one to make it faster..
Here are some links for those who are intrested in this one:

Acer :: TimelineX 4820TG Screen - Pixel Borders Are Very Prominent Especially The Longitudinal Borders
May 7, 2010I just bought a 4820TG and I am really dissappointed by the screen. It is very grainy, one can see the pixels even from half a meter away. It seems as if the pixel borders are very prominent especially the longitudinal borders so that one can see longitudinal "lines" across the screen (most prominent with a white background).
So I thought it is just mine and went to different stores to check. But they all are like that (have seen at least 5 other 4820TG's).
I am not sure if this is suppose to be like that - a feat to make it more bright or more sharp - but it really annoys me big time. Especially when comparing it to my old laptop who does not have that, where you have to get really close to the screen an focus quite hard to make the pixels visible.
Acer :: The ThrottleStop Thread
Jan 20, 2010This thread is dedicated to unclewebb's utility ThrottleStop; its support and promotion. (thanking unclewebb profusely for coding it certainly doesn't hurt )
This is the real deal for any Gemstone Blue users who are throttling, especially those who can't undervolt.
It's surprisingly simple to use - open ThrottleStop.exe, accept the rather frightening warning (it's mostly for Dell users), then click the box next to Chipset Clock Mod.
That's it! Your system should be protected from future throttling incidences.
Tick the Minimize on Close button to send it to your notification area instead of the Taskbar (like RMClock).
(Angelwings, feel free to correct me if I've got this wrong)
If you want to view ThrottleStop's documentation without downloading the utility,

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: M1730 Vs M6300 Thread
Jul 23, 2008I'm not looking to debate the geforce vs quadro performance nor do I want people to tell me to wait for the 9m series cards, just a couple quick questions.
Does the m1730 have a docking port? From what I can find, I'm thinking it does not. For that matter, does the m6300 have one? I think it does...
Can an 8800gtx from an m1730 be put into an m6300? If not, I'll be fine with the 3600m, but I prefer geforce cards.
If yes, where can you get an 8800gtx and how much do they cost? I've seen people saying anything from over $2000 to $700.... which is quite a difference.
I guess while I'm at it, are there any other huge issues that I've maybe overlooked? I'm thinking about things like the huge LCD problems that everyone experienced with light leakage and whatnot on the m170/9300 series and even overflowing into the next gen stuff iirc.

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Benchmark Thread
Apr 21, 2009even though this computer is hot to the touch and she is having a few issues with it i figure id put it threw its paces for you guys. id just like to mention before hand that we have the WLED screen (1366x768)
out of the box running with dell's 9.4 drivers it ran a 5060 in 3dmark 06
i ended up having to down grade the drivers to dell's 9.2 because i was unable to over clock with the 9.4's. however even with the 9.2 the only program that would work is AMD GPU clock tool. i was able to test it up to 749 mhz core / 945 mhz mem. it works like a charm, no artifacting or anything. with just one run threw 3dmark 06 it brought the temp up to 76C. after an 45min of looping the test the temps peaked and leveled out at 83C.
it idles around 60-63C at these clocks (stock idle is about 8C cooler)
anyways here are the results for 3dmark 06
dell 9.4 drivers= 5060
dell 9.2 drivers= 5004
dell 9.2 drivers OC(749c/945m) = 5520
i have yet to test if its stable at higher clock then these. i feel as though it still has a small amount of room left, maybe another 20 mhz on ether . i haven't had time to test this out yet though. im probably going to try undervolting the CPU and see if that brings down the temps any. ill report back with the results from both the CPU and GPU when i get a chance to do it all.
this is a spiffy little computer, im sure that once we resolve the screen and power supply issues with dell that my wife will be happy with the unit.

Jan 10, 2009I am starting this thread for the discussion of Windows 7 x64 installation on the M1530. Please limit the thred to 64 Bit only.
I just took delivery of my 1530 this morning and now have it exclusively running Win7x64. So far, so good on basic functionality, but I hope to delve into performance and gaming issues tomorrow. I will be running benchmarks in order to compare 7 and Vista.
So far I have only installed Symantec AV 2009 Gaming Edition and Steam. Everything else is either stock to Win7x64 or came down via Windows Update.
Dell :: XPS Divorce And/or Replacement Thread
May 22, 2010I figured most of us all had/have something in common which is why we bought a XPS. Therefore, I am interested in other laptops being used by fellow XPS owners and past XPS owners.
Let me begin im the owner of a M1330 (specs in sig) since 2008 it has been reliable but lately it has been running pretty hot. Plus I figured its time for a change since I know most laptops begin to act up after a year.
This week I got a Sony Vaio CW series which im using to type this, specs are 4gb ram, 500gb hd, 2mp cam+mic, Intel i5 processor, blu-ray, bluetooth, 14" screen.
It will suffice for now im not as excited about it as I was when I received my XPS but its nice. Really hoping that Dell can make a super reliable XPS 13" in the future

Sony :: Vaio Z Vs SRCompare Thread
Jul 16, 2009I've been looking at both of these for my next laptop... as well as possibly the ASUS U80V. The main problem I have is the battery leakage problem they both have, which defeat the purpose of their long lasting battery. I'm really not sure what to do as this is the only drawback or I would order one this week.... any further information would be appreciated, but I try to keep up to date in the specific thread.
I know the Z is quite a big price jump from the SR, but they are similar in appearance (different materials though)... I can't seem to justify which one would be worth it.
Differences I have noticed.
-Z is lighter (uses carbon fiber and other light materials)
-Z has 2 graphic cards (use integrated for longer battery life)
-Z has the better screen supposedly?
-EDIT*** Z does NOT have lighted keyboard
Please help me understand other differences that I have overlooked and please expand if you could on any I have already mentioned.
Really just looking for a 2.4ghz or greater processor, atleast 4gb RAM, bigger than 100gb hard drive, 5+ hours of battery life (surfing and music).... occasional game of counterstrike/DOD source, nothing crazy. It MUST be quiet and not overheat....
HP/Compaq :: Envy 133 Owners Thread
Sep 21, 2009I was looking for a luxury ultraportable and considered the Mac Air, Sony Z, Dell Adamo, Asus VX3 Lamborghini, and HP Voodoo Envy 133. I know, Voodoo's future is uncertain.
But I just bought a new Voodoo Envy 133 anyway because the price was right, and I couldn't justify the extra cost of the others.
The best commercial review I found was this:

Any real world user reviews?
I'll be able to add mine when my Envy 133 arrives this week. And as soon as Windows 7 arrives, that will be installed also!
HP/Compaq :: Windows 7 Update Thread
Nov 13, 2009Got my update disk today.
While installing and 'expanding files', the disk tray popped open at 21%. I pushed it back in, waited an hour, and it never went past 21% (Though the HDD light was chugging along like it was doing something). I restarted and now I'm waiting to roll back to Vista and start over. Anyone else have a similar issue on a Dv3?
Update: I ran the disk again after rolling back and it gave me the same problem. An error message pops up after it says "Windows needs to be restarted". That message is one of those 0.5second messages you can't really read, then the tray pops open, and windows restarts.
Dell :: The Official Operation GPU Refresh Thread
Mar 27, 2010We are all waiting on a refresh of the Dell Studio XPS 1645/1647 to include the 5000 series ATI graphics cards. So to get the message across I have come up with a little thing called "Operate GPU Refresh". If you have been following the iPhone/AT&T you should know of the "Operation Chokehold" that iPhone users took part in to try to get the message across the the AT&T network needs upgrading.
But instead of trying to take down Dell, we will simply be trying to get the message across to them that we want the new cards, and since every other manufacturer pretty much already offers them we "would" rather buy their competition.
On March 30th of 2010 all users who want to participate will visit the "Dell Chat" PC/Laptop sales chat and ask when the 5000 series will be available. Also chime in on the fact that competitors such as HP already have these newer graphics cards available and you are tired of waiting, and if they can't give a solid reason just say "I guess I will go with HP" or whichever company you feel is the next alternative to you.
Goal:
Get the message across that we as customers want the latest hardware.
Get the message across that Dell is lagging behind their competition and if we have to wait any longer we will forget about Dell and buy their competition (in theory).
So set your calendars for March 30th. Dell "D-Day". Us notebook review members telling Dell what we want, and that we want it NOW.
