Does anybody know what the minimum spec is for running blueray?
I currently have 7950 gtx and t7400 2.16ghz chipset...
Dell technical inform me that i need the t7600 2.33 ghz chipset?
Are they trying to sell me an upgrade or do you think this is true?

Even with VLC it seem to be slow at some stages when running Firefox etc in the background... is that normal?
So i got the 1640 with blueray, and I was messing around with different applications like PowerDVD and media center, and I notice there isn't an up-conversion option.

I just recently purchased a new sony vaio fw41e/h. And i've been using the blueray driver a lot for burning dvd's since it's capable of doing that. But since yesterday my drive just stopped burning dvd's and got no idea what might have caused it. I didn't find any errors or something when i burned my last dvd, which worked. I used the os it came with which is vista 32 bit. I don't think it's a hardware error because it can still read the dvd's but i just can't burn them. I also tried several different applications for burning, like clonecd, imgburn and nero but neither worked. For instance, when i use clonecd it just starts normally but after 30 seconds the bar raises up to 100% and just finishes and it said it couldn't burn it. for the people who wanna know what kind of drive it is, it is a mata bd-cmb uj130as.

I dont like HP MediaSmart much, so dont want to use that for playing blueray movies. Before I started clean installing, I wanted to make sure from you guys that the notebook is capable of playing blueray movies without using MediaSmart software. I dont have a BD disk right now to test if ZoomPlayer or WMP can play these disks or not. But if not, is there any other software that could handle BD playback?

I know it has 4GB Ram, but how many actual Ram slots does it have and what speeds/specs Ram can be put in it? Basically,
i want to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB to give my VM's better performance without slowing down my base OS (Windows 7 Ultimate x64). I don't know which Ram to choose on newegg.
Just doing a final check to make sure these specs are acceptable

I will be recieveing my new m1330 this weekend (a replacement for my busted m1210) and have a couple questions.
1) are alot of people waiting on the system to get to them or are people just not buying them? I dont see many user reviews on the m1330; defenitely not as many as when the m1210 came out.
2) Is the 8400 GS > 7400 GO?
back in 2005 I bought an Inspirion 6000-D. A few days ago a cat spilled coke in it while I was out of the house. It was destroyed. Thankfully, I had the Dell accidental damage warranty (which I'd forgotten all about.) Here's the specs on what they're sending as a replacement.
Is this a decent machine?

I am expecting my E6500 to-morrow , here is the portion of final specs. Looking for inputs from others who have received their E6500 in last 2 days to see if they got the .3 MP webcam or 2MP webcam, ....
i had just selected the webcam with microphone will find out what i get....but here is the bill of parts..
320-7003 Integrated VGA webcam with microphone for Latitude E6500
320-7015 15.4 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ LCD for Latitude E6500
313-6807 Integrated 2.0MP VGA web cam w/ microphone for WXGA+ LCD Latitude E6500 $0.00
any clues on recent buyers of E6400 & E6500
I'm very happy with the LCD on my new Z555 and thought I would share the details after profiling the display. I was looking for this information myself and couldn't find much so here is what I've figured out:
The temperature of the display on it's own is about 6300K but deficient in green (too magenta). The color is consistent with either graphics adapter.
I have no way to measure the color gamut but it does appear to be at least as wide as my Electron Blue CRT and with more color contrast. As I found in another thread Sony is calling it the full range of the NTSC which is slightly larger than adobe RGB, though it's never stated clearly.
Since neither adapter's driver allows setting the brightness independent of the color I could only set the white point using the drivers and had to rely on the rather coarse range of the FN keys brightness with contrast at default. I tried to get more contrast out of the display by playing with the driver contrast adjustments but in the end it just complicated the color adjustments for no apparent gain.
The best black point I could get was .24 cd/m and the highest white point was almost 325 cd/m -- both excellent values for a laptop.
In the end the 6500K profiles I settled on had a black point of .37 cd/m and a usable brightness of 197 cd/m. This is over 500:1 contrast ratio (if I'm figuring this right) and is excellent for a laptop.
With a profile associated with each adapter (intel & nividia) Vista seems to correctly load the proper profile if the speed/stamina switch is changed though I need to verify that this is actually working. I'm sure Vista loads the correct profile from power on.
The display is sharp and crisp with a beautifully matte finish. There is some banding in large gradients, as I feared, but I'm sure it's typical for all 6 bit displays.
Loading the profiling software was no fun as there appears to be something wrong with the installshield Vista installation from sony but eventually I got it working. Next step is a clean install on a new disk but I think I'm going back to XP for that.
I want to buy a VGN-SZ433N/B (cheap with fault), but before I do I would like to get some info.
it has the following:
Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400
1gb ram
100gb HDD
13 in.
I think it has hybrid graphics, is that right?
I think the 7400 GPU is faulty, is it possible to still use the notebook with the integrated GPU (is this a BIOS option)?
what specs the AC adapter has, since I will need to buy a new one.
what specs is the tablet mac using? and does anyone know if it will be using any of the wacom tablet technologies?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, after using nothing but a pc all my life and my current desktop I write to you on having a pentium 4 with about a gig of ddr2 ram and a nvidia geforce 7300 gs with 256 mb of memory i decided it was time for a new comp. I wanted a laptop for the portability and decided to chance my luck with ebay (ya i know ). Holy cow was i lucky! I snagged a awesome deal for a barely used mid 2009 Macbook Pro 17 incher. Here are the specs and what it came with:
3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

iWork '09 Family Pack preinstalled
Aperture preinstalled....................
While another thread may be currently in the heat of discussion of the choice of pre-built version of V13, i have been surfing around to see if there are other reviews on other makes not from DELL that may have the same/close configuration specs...
This is what i have found, base on my focus of Screen Size:Processor:Battery factor(in this case, 13.3incher:Celeron m743:4cells batt).

I just installed Windows 95 on a Extensa 390C laptop and when it came to setting the graphics it had about 20 different listings under Acer like 11D and 15P, 33DL and so on.......I've Googled all around and haven't had any luck finding the specs on it. I hope that someone here will have an old 390 and let me know what to set it at. It's a 12 inch screen.....

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was looking at the HP DV4T with specs:
-Moonlight white
-Vista 64bit
-P8600 2.4Ghz or I can up it to the P8700 2.53Ghz
-4 GB Ram
-320 GB Hard Drive 5400 RPM

-14.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) LED for better battery life.
-Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card with Bluetooth
-High Capacity 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
I was wondering what you all think about this set up, or if I should tweak anything with like the processor.
Also how does this laptop run in your experience. Hot or loud? What does it score on performance index with these specs if anyone has them? Are there any concerns I should know about or tips. Like does the optical drive pull out if not using to save weight or add another hard drive? Maybe even steer me to another direction if you would like.
Also I have never owned a laptop before, but my friends use an external monitor when home. What do you all think about getting one?
This laptop will be for everything, school, entertainment, causal games.
My last computer was the HP DV5Z, which I LOVED. It was the perfect size, did everything i needed it for, and was an overall great choice.
Unfortunately, 1) My laptop was stolen when my apartment was broken into , and 2) they no longer sell the dv5z on hp.com
Now, I am for sure going to order my laptop from hp.com, so I need to know what you guys would recommend.
I will use my laptop for gaming, research, college, and DVD burning.
I am almost positive I want the slightly bigger dv6z, and thats my main choice.
However, I'm not sure how big of a difference performance in CPU is, if 4 gigs of ram is REALLY worth it over 3gigs of ram, whats the benefit of the wireless-N card over G, and how come all the coupons are used up
a laptop I returned to costco since it couldnt run some games. I went to Costco.com to see about building a laptop from HP through Costco. I went with these specs, its already almost $200 over budget and my wife might veto it haha but let me know if you think this could run fallout 3 at least on decent settings.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T6600 (2.2GHz)
3GB DDR2 Memory
250GB HDD (good enough size, I rely on a server in my house for main storage)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE
That comes out to $744.99 and it doesnt appear to have tax, which will help. I'd like to run simple games like Halo 2 PC, Fallout 3 and maybe even Gears of War if I felt frisky. I'm not looking to run anything like Crysis. Thats the only GPU I can choose other than the onboard. I upgraded the Processor from the T6600 for $51.00, would it make $50 worth of a difference?
the brand and the read/write of the SSD thats available for MacBook Pros straight from Apple? Also is there TRIM?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought a toshiba, dual core pentium T3400, 2.16ghz, 3gb ram, 250gb HD...and it was lightning fast when surfing the web...but returned it because i got a killer deal on an HP DV5, core 2 duo, T5800, 2.0 ghz, 4gb ram, 250gb HD...
I was told by the salesperson, and a friend, that the new hp should be slightly faster than the exchanged toshiba. However, i noticed that the toshibsa was significantley faster than this one. I visited the same websites, and where the toshiba took 1 second to load a certain page, the new hp takes 3 seconds. Is this because of the 2.0 vs 2.16 ghz difference? bloatware?
