People complaining about Vista...?

I'm seeing all over the net headlines for articles or forum posts about people having difficulties with Vista (especially the x64 edition). But when i read a bit into them, they seem to have problems with driver developers not releasing decent drivers, or software written for XP that isn't compatibl...

I've been using 2 Samsung 19" monitors for a few years now, and they are really good. Sony makes good products, but they are too expensive.

mobility 9200, how good is it?

Does anyone know of a good review of the mobility radeon 9200, how does it compare to lets say GeForce Go 4200? is it any better than the 9000 or is it a scaled down version (like the 9000 is to the 8500)?

thanks for help in advance :wink:

I was considering getting a laptop system lately and in my search I stumbled across this from powernotebooks.com: Virtually none of the "Name" brands manufacture their own laptops, with the only exceptions being IBM, Asus, Twinhead and Apple, and even IBM, Twinhead and Apple do not make all of their...
