Notebook Video Card Upgrades?



Searching for ways of improving my new Compaq V3418LA I found that Nvidia is developing a new way to easily change GPU's.

How? Well by having a special socket called MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module), you're going to be able to swap between GPU's with ease. Although there aren't any graphics express cards yet, this seems to be a really impressive way to upgrade faster our laptops! Since we don't have to buy a new laptop everytime a new DirectX comes out for example.

Por Vacaciones...

Estas vacaciones me voy a ir a trabajar a Estados Unidos, si todo va bien creo que voy a comprar una laptop, sin embargo como ya les mencioné tengo una Compaq V3418LA, no muy buena para juegos y animación 3D que es en lo que quiero meterme, por eso dudo. Esta laptop me ha servido para trabajar todo lo que he querido, a excepción de editar videos..




Si no la comprase estaría comprando un DS Lite ¿Por qué? Creo que es la mejor de las dos consolas, la PSP es a pesar de ser una potente portátil, se gasta rápido la batería y por otro lado me gustan más la idea de tener dos pantallas y un stylus con el que moverme.

Product Features
It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.
The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.
The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.
The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.


Los juegos que quiero jugar, en el DS, son los juegos tipo strategia, basados en el sistema de turnos. Cómo Fire Emblem, sin embargo me intriga la versión de DS que van a sacar de Assassin's Creed.

A system so powerful and advanced, gaming itself will have to evolve...








I want to start this blog with my search for the perfect laptop, many rumors are out there in the web about the new Dell XPS, I looked around and gather the following information.

"An unknown photographic gallery that ritrae Dell XPS M1730 during the Games Convention 2007 and new indiscretions second which graphical card Nvidia GeForce could be the first one notebook to mount one 8800M.
