Tempted by
Mark D. Miller
I've always built my own PC's, but now it seems far cheaper to buy from
someone like Dell, Gateway, or HP. The hardware list looks really good on
the higher end machines (Dell 8400 and XPS, Gateway 7200 series). Question
is, do these machines perform as well as it looks like they should? I'm

always worked well, but I noticed today that there was a line vertical going

Latitude motherboard, unused socket, what might it be for? by
John Fryatt
Hi,
I have just upgraded my Latitude CPx from a 450MHz CPxH motherboard to a
750MHz CPxJ.
That was fine and it all works well.
On the new motherboard I noticed a small socket near where the sound ports
are, which looks like it's labelled 'JMDM'. Any idea what this socket is
for?

Anyone running a Dell XPS 4100 by
[email protected]
Curious if any one is still running an old Dell 4100 system. If so, I
would like to hear the upgrades you made to it over the years. I started
out with a Dell XPS D266 (LX MB). Along the way I popped in a Dell 4100
BX MB back when Dell was unloading them for under $100.00

New Inspiron 8600 by
Angel Fan
My laptop just arrived and I must say that I am very disappointed with the
screen quality. I upgraded to the top of the line WUXGA Ultrasharp screen,
expecting something to rival Fujitsu's Crystalview or Sony's xBrite quality
but it looks like a regular XGA screen.
If you are considering a DELL...

I'm looking for an inexpensive replacement for an older iBook. I can't
believe Dell is offering the Inspiron 1000 and 1150 right around $700.
That's pretty incredible.
Can anyone who owns either model give me some insight? Publishers like to
skip the inexpensive models so...

I want to take out the CPU from the Dell dimension 2400 and use it on
another motherboard. But it seems so hard to take out the two pieces
of green plastic that are securing the heat sink. Is there a

Dell XP Reinstallation CD by
Billy
How is it different from a native XP CD? I want to reinstall XP without all
the extra stuff that Dell put on the pre-built machine. What is the
difference? There seems to be a Dell cab file in an OEM directory on the CD.
What is this?

Can the secondary modular battery (not the main battery) from a Latitude
