Moderators Andavari Posted June 7, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 7, 2007 Sounds good enough. Now have fun removing all the crap Dell pre-installs on it, these may help: * http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/ * http://www.malwarebytes.org/startuplite.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Looks good...the only thing is.... unless I'm mistaken, you won't have DirectX 10 functionality with that integrated card.... but I'm assuming you aren't buying this laptop for gaming, more of a overall good work notebook??

Moderators rridgely Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2007 Be careful with pcdecrapifier if the computer has mcafee installed. I tried that on a laptop I was cleaning up(the person never uninstalled the trial software even 1 year later!) and the program froze during the job. Luckilly it didn't cause any problems but after that I just went through and did it the old fasion way. Of couse that could have just been mcafees fault since its worthless.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 8, 2007 A comp froze with McAfee on it, somehow that doesn't seem out of the ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Actually I'm pretty sure Windows Vista comes with DirectX 10. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 It does..but if the video card doesn't support it, it can't use it. NVIDIA cards in the 8000 series and ATI's new 2900 series (and lesser version of each cards) allow it. However, they are only for desktops so far.
