LBJ, do your lecture halls have outlets? If so, maybe just look into carrying around a small power strip with you? I know that's what a lot of folks do here - find an outlet and plug in a power strip then you have 3-5 laptops feeding off the strip.
Win7 is pretty good on power management and the i-series processors are very power efficient, so I wouldn't worry there. Just turn your brightness down and maybe see if there are any overclock/underclock utilities out there for your GPU and you should be able to conserve power pretty easily. I think pulling 4 hours out of one charge would be an easy thing to accomplish. Whenever you are running off of AC power, though, be sure to take the battery out so you're not unnecessarily charging the battery. I've done that with my EEE PC battery and the thing is still hardly off peak since when I first bought it in terms of charge life.

Quick question for the case modders out there: is there a specific kind of spray paint that you use to spray the inside of your cases? Mine is plain silver and I'd like to change that next week.
New video card is supposed to come today. It's an nVidia and I've been using ATi. What's a good driver cleaning program and when should I run it? Turn off comp, take out old card, put in new one, clean old drivers, install new ones?

Does one even need to clean drivers?
Meh just remove the drivers via the default uninstaller and install the new ones after plugging in the new card
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
That's what I was thinking. But oh well, would rather be safe than sorry. And I don't want to risk bogging my system down.liquidat0r wrote:

I'll go with Fin's method, even though Floppy's might be a bit more tempting
Tbh Floppy's is all you'd need, but mine is guaranteed to not fuck up your system.
using driver cleaner probably removes all the registry keys and values from windows while the uninstaller prob just removes the driver files. I use driver cleaner when installing a new GPU, but not for simple driver updates. It really would be a good idea if you;re going from NV to AMD or vise versa.

Can it run Crysis?
Ah, the Sparc architecture. Brings back memories from Uni...menzo wrote:

Because I found a laptop with the perfect specs/price but it happens to be a dell.
At least thats my experience.
Never had a problem with desktops.

..to anyone who lives in Austria. Also a bit more than a bit.ly link would have been nice..
I had the original link there, but I am testing something with the bit.ly system at the moment. Thanks for clicking.
I personally think it isn't relevant purely to those living in/moving to Austria but rather quite obvious that Americans are literally getting their money stolen from them. But that's another topic for another thread.

Can't get C++ 2005 to install correctly. Vegas won't run without it. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling after googling around and that seemed to fix it for everyone else but it's not worked for me. Tips?
Any reason you're not installing 2010?
There's 2010?
Idk, Sony Vegas just installed 2005 and 2008 itself. 2008 worked fine, but 2005 didn't. I'll try it with 2010 now.
