    Can an IBM Thinkpad X40 run Counterstrike smoothly?

    why do they always ask this question? My calculator could probably run CS, so most computers can.

    Problem, Screen microfreezes during gameplay

    i dont know if it helps you, but when i had my Pocket PC, Microsoft Active Sync made my computer do the exact same thing. Was a real pain for games when it did that. I just closed the PPC connection on the PPC before removing the PDA from the cradle, and that stopped al lthe lags. Also...

    9800pro flashed to XT hows Doom3?

    The Atlantis cards are the 128bit memory bus cards arent they? If so, that could be the reason why your XT mod doesnt work... XT cards use a 256bit bus if i am correct?

    overclocking pda

    I overclock my iPAQ 5450. I usually go to about 500mhz, and that seems to have a good speed/heat/battery ratio. I use a program called Pocket Hackmaster. Its not freeware though, but it does an okay job of overclocking. I personally overclock only when i watch movies, or play Worms (it...

    have you tried ultramon (google it)? I used it once, has a fair few more options than the standard options dialogue. What drivers are you using?

    Hmm... Endurance?

    If its running XP, why not use hibernation mode? Its turns the system off, but stores anything you were doing etc onto the hard disk, so when you turn it back on, you can resume where you left off.

    Best Laptop

    a lot of people seem to have those Emachine beasts, while a fair ton of the rest have IBM thinkpads (and then there are Sagers and Dells, a couple of HP, and a few Toshibas). Check some of the threads here. If i personally had the access to any laptop that you guys did, i would go for either...

    newbie guide to keep a laptop clean?

    when i had my laptop, i was no more careful than if i was carrying my desktop PC, or using my desktop. I never touch screens (unless they are touchscreen, but most of them use a pointing device), even though my desktop has a crt. I hate trying to get those smudgy oily fingerprints off it...

    Emachines M6809... sparks and pictures "Fire Plug"

    why would they replace it? It still works. All thats wrong with it is that there is a burn mark on the connector. I would place my bet on it being the TV that caused the lovely spark, and killed it. As said before, svideo only carries video, not audio. If it was the latop that caused the...

    Hardware innovation you'd like to see

    havent they made a psu like that already? I personally would like to see atleast modular videocard ram. They did it back when the old ISA/PCI 1meg cards were around, so why cant it be done now? durable TFT screens. I dont like how if you swat a fly on the screen, its pretty much bye bye...

    Laptop BSOD'ing repeatedly

    Win XP User Account Choice Bypass

    That ASP .net user is a security feature (to slow any hackers down). You should only delete the account if you have a firm reason to. Go google it, i did a while ago, and that is all i can remember.

    BTX, who DOESN'T plan on changing

    at first i will stick to ATX, both due to a lack of funds, and the fact that we dont even know if BTX will be a flop, or if it will own. i will wait until i have the funds, and when BTX has a firm hold on the market.

    a question about phone lines

    i always wondered how much power was running through a phone line. I started wondering right after i was shocked by my 56k modem while pulling it out of the PCI slot (i was grabbing it by the phone line socket solder points). I got a shock that numbed my thumb for about an hour, and ever...

    X-Box Processor

    it is soldered to the motherboard, and doesnt have pins on it as such, so you can use it in a socket. And then you would have to spend hours unsoldering, and then soldering it onto the new motherboard.

    Older AGP card type?

    that card is probably a 1x or 2x AGP card, and the slot is a 4x and/or 8x agp slot. The 4x and 8x slots give less voltage to the card, so they threw in the dividor do you cant put an old card it it, or it might kill something.
