Lineage II... best mmo EVER! (Play on a private server = FREE... there's a million out there and they're easy to find and join)

depends on if you're using XP or Vista how you go about it...

Try setting the computers' workgroups to the same thing... that way both computers can see eachother. Then one of the easiest ways to share files, etc. is to simply right click on any folder on one of the PCs, go to Proporties, and change the folder to a sharing folder... you can then see it from the other PC via my network places/viw workgroup computers

If have problems with this try running a few of the connection wizards (accessories > comm.)

For real ease of use you can then map the network drive, but first just get it working ^^

Does anyone know where I could find a good tutorial on changing my mobile processor?

I'm ordering a Gateway P-6831FX which comes with a T5450, and I was thinking of upgrading to maybe a T7250 (Newegg). Normally I would just buy a newer model from gateway with a better cpu, but this way i would be saving several hundred dollars.

Please help me on this!!

Through one of my friend's experiences, I've found that the compatibility issues that come with 64bit aren't worth it

My advice is stick with 32bit and instead upgrade to 3gb ram =P

2gb is definately enough to do whatever you want anyway, but 3gb will for sure get the job done

>>>> or for that matter... wait a few months / years / decades to get Vista. I was thinking that I needed to learn Vista a few months back, so I dual-booted my desktop and tried it out... 3 months later i deleted it and now I am Vista free. YAHOO!

im not exactly sure why yours is seeing 1.2gb - my 8600M GT in my laptop did the same thing, except in mine it was because I had 4 gb ram with Vista 32bit, so Windows only saw 3gb ram... and then for some reason Windows lumped the ram it couldn't "see" in with the video card... wtf

but with 2gb ram and vista 64, I really have no idea --> my guess is that is actually a fluke and won't really help you at all =P

As far as Crysis goes though, with my laptop 8600 I could run on 1024X768 with everything on medium smoothly --> if you have the desktop version then you will likely get slightly better results

again, I will be running xp, so I will not be using DX10 anyway, just DX9.

and for the record, the 7950 GTX outperforms the 8600GT in every benchmark and test I have ever seen. if you don't put any faith in that look at their specs. The 7950 GTX is 256bit, DDR3 and the 8600GT is 128bit and (in this case) DDR2 --> believe me the 7950 GTX is better, considering I will be using DX9 only. With DX9, the highest 7 series mobile card is still better than a mid/low 8 series card! Believe me, I own an 8600GT in my desktop and while good for the cheap price, it really isn't that fantastic... it is held short by its 128bit interface

but lets get back to the topic... my question had nothing to do with the video card or the brand of laptop... and remember these laptops are EXACTLY the same in nearly every other aspect. My question simply was... Would the difference between the 1.66GHz 667FSB and the 2GHz 800FSB be anything truly noticable in everyday computing, and also, would the 1.66GHz 667FSB bottleneck the 7950 and cause problems when playing newer games?

btw thanks fynne for the link =D
