Hi Chris and everyone. I find it very intresting that you say that the Radeon M4 was constructed for a 17inch laptop witch one might I ask? Is their any...
Hi, mine came spec'd at 1600x1200 and is a 15" screen. that is the default graphic screen size. I have had it for almost 8 years and is a staple, it always...
I'm sorry Peter. I don't remember where I came across that specification. It's quite possible I got it from either the Dell forum or from ATI, but I don't...
I am having a problem getting Ubuntu 8.10 to run on my Inspiron 1100. While it installed without issue, after reboot and signon, the OS appears to hang with...

Hi all, My 80 GB 7200 rpm internal hard drive (hitachi) died (just 3 year and 1 month). I would like to buy a internal hard drive which is reliable and best...
For what it's worth, I see a lot of failed hard drives in the laptop repair business, and my experience has been that the drives most prone to fail are the...
Hi Ardell Faul, Seems you are frustrated or trying to blame everyone who is having the internal hard drive with large size. I did asked for the suggestion and...
... Your reply is neither helpful nor well-thought out. Just because someone has a large drive in their laptop does not mean that they don't have it backed up...
