phew good. I need at least one HL game to burn my time untill i get bad company 2

so is the cs:s server down for good now?

way to disappear on us.

only a fellow canuck would think of it like that...

thats his index finger

there wouldnt be any point if i had to send it across the border. The duties and 14% tax would make it the same price anyhow. but thats not all my fault, you can blame your govenment for the faulty 'free trade'

do you know whats a better deal? my wholesaler's prices oh wait, you guys cant have those deals

oh yeah its definatly pci-e... i wouldnt of gone near the thing if it was using legacy connections. As you can see by the specs below, it is using the g71 core, with downclocked memory, 4 disabled pipelines (still is 24 of them though), and 1 disabled vertex shader. if anything, i want to be able to mess with it when the next wave of games comes out, right now it runs everything maxed out and its not really required. ive oced my compaq laptop with a desktop amd 64 3000+ cpu, but the video card wasnt worth touching. nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS: Manufacturer: nVidia Series: GeForce 7 GPU: G71M Release Date: 2006-04-18 Interface: PCI-E Core Clock: 375 MHz Memory Clock: 500 MHz (1000 DDR) Memory Bandwidth: 32 GB/sec Shader Operations: 7500 Operations/sec Pixel Fill Rate: 6000 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate: 6000 MTexels/sec Vertex Operations: 656.25 MVertices/sec Noise Level: ?

by the way, im looking for a portible tv turner. so if anyone knows anything about quality recording, can you point me to a good expresscard or USB2.0 tv tuner card?

agreed, first thing i did was disable the 20 some apps on startup i love it though, ive tried killing it with a game, but so far i have had no luck. F.E.A.R. i have 57fps on max settings. i want to tweak it now considering the go 7900 GS is just a downclocked version of the 7900GTX. considering the GPU in this, it still runs cooler than my compaq with an amd 64 3000+ with a geforce 440 go. So i think i have some leverage on the cooling system in this laptop. as for the cpu, i want to mess with it a little more, but im scared!

heres pics... pretty simple, but built very nice: http://www.cnet.com.au/i/r/2006/mobilecomp/notebooks/22054743/sc003.jpghttp://www.cnet.com.au/i/r/2006/mobilecomp/notebooks/22054743/sc002.jpg http://www.cnet.com.au/i/r/2006/mobilecomp/notebooks/22054743/sc001.jpghttp://www.cnet.com.au/i/r/2006/mobilecomp/notebooks/22054743/sc004.jpg
