• I don't know why I bothered buying this laptop without an Nvidia or ATI card in it, but for those of you who plan on ever playing a game on your laptop, don't ever get one without one of the only 2 video card companies that work for video games.

  I just figured out how to ungray the selection for Expand panel image after finally figuring out exactly what kind of VIA/S3G IGP I have and when I do turn that selection off, it seems to burn the image into the monitor fairly quickly (about 5 minutes). After testing in WC3 and turning it on again, my screen was flickering on the top and bottom where the WC3 interface wouldn't change. It seems to be fixed now and all the flickering is gone, but I guess I will just have to play games in widescreen mode on this laptop, which doesn't happen often or almost never so that's what matters I suppose.

  Anyway, Happy Turkey day, eat lots of turkey, ham, quail, plastic, whatever you like to eat on this magnificent eating day.
