    Eurocom Preparing GT2xx SLI-Based Desktop Replacement Notebook

    I think it all depends. If you're moving between places alot and constantly need a computer with lots of power than a desktop replacement makes perfect sense. But, if you just leave it at home on the desk and never move it then it's kinda pointless. That's why I kinda wished I had gotten a...

    Laptop overclocking adventures

    Um, hmm any other like programs to OC graphics? Like I use ATI tray tools (I think it's been a while) and I don't think it really cares but I'm using an ATI card. I would try programs you would use for a desktop graphics card before trying obscure programs.

    What does ram speed affect

    Sure, if you're CPU need more bandwidth then you'll be delivering more data. Also, if you want to overclock it gives you more headroom.

    What does ram speed affect

    I'd say go with the 800 mhz ram. It's 15 bucks and then the ram will probably be able to overclock higher and if you don't overclock it'll at least be faster.

    Fujitsu Stops HDD Head Production

    I think HDD's will stick around for a good while. I mean you don't need uber fast read times on movies and photos and such. So I wouldn't be surprised to have something like an 80-120 gb SSD for the OS and programs and then a traditional HDD for storing all your media and documents.

    Laptop overclocking adventures

    You have to play with pll's...although as far as I know clockgen hasn't really worked with core 2's. And btw I can overclock my gfx card just fine by turning the fans up to high....maybe if you're running a mobile pentium 4 then the stock cooling will be overload, but modern core 2's run fairly...
