I learned something new last week. I didn’t realize all 1024MB video cards aren’t created equally. Apparently some of them have multiple GPU sockets and that has some interesting implications when using them for gaming and what the operating...

Blair Bigger of Microsoft MCS Federal informed me today that a BIOS update gives Latitude D630 users access to 8GB of memory. This does of course assume 8GB is installed and you are running a 64bit OS. Blair indicated it is the BIOS update dated 8/13...

I’ve been listening to our customers a lot lately. I get a lot of good feedback here, but it’s no substitute for the direct frank conversations we’ve had at the live events, launch events and conferences like MMS or TechEd. One of the complaints...

Anyone out there have an Apple MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM? No? Don’t tell me you are going to let a Microsoft Windows evangelist totally beat you to the finish line on this one!!! All kidding aside, I decided to pull the two Kingston 4GB...

A few days ago I ordered the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition . You are probably wondering what I am talking about. It's a cool device that allows a laptop, or a regular PC for that matter drive two monitors in one of the Windows Vista ...

I've had my Dell XPS 420 six months now so I thought I'd give you an update on my impressions of the machine and changes I'm made to it since the initial purchase. In reality, it just now does everything I want correctly. Windows...
