I'm still not clear on that.
I stated the max transfer rates for a PATA interface. Have those speeds ever been achieved?

hate to say it....but i regret buying the alienware laptop....its one heavy machine which i have to carry around everyday....just hate the fact that it weighs so much. oh and its definitely not a desktop replacement as people say. desktops will always be desktops.

I think when people use the term 'desktop replacement', they merely mean:

-it has a full sized keyboard
-it packs many functions and features which make them competitive to desktops
-they are usually 17-inch minimum...
-and are heavy enough not to be used as a regular 'on the go' laptop.

So yeah, it is a desktop replacement laptop in that regard. Didn't you check the weight/specs before you bought it?

well when i did buy it yes i did extensive amounts of research. and the day it arrived was easily at that time...the best day ever...ive had better since then. i was in dubai for work...didnt have any pc to game on, and at the time it satisfied my needs....it was only when i travelled back to pakistan and had to carry the laptop all the way from the airport entrance to the plane (any1 whos been to dubai knows how much those ba****ds make you walk) i realised what a big mistake it was to keep this as a primary and only pc.

Which is exactly why its a desktop replacement laptop. People think its a laptop, so yeah you can carry it anywhere, but there you have it. First hand experience with a heavy duty laptop.

I don't remember buying any hardware recently that I regret now. My CPU cooler ($50) and my CM690 ($70 w/5 fans) was my last best investment...and TX750 before that (sold my noisy OCZ GameXstream 700W for $90 and bought this new one for $110). Im pretty much happy with whatever I've got MashaAllah

But oh wait, there is this one software I bought for $80. I lost over 300GB of data by accidentally formatting my hard drive, so I panicked and bought this professional software which recovered every little KB of my data from a formatted hard drive. But now Im regretting buying it coz I never have to use it since im more careful with my data. Still I believe such an investment is for accidental purposes where you lose your back ups, so it never hurts to have such a software with you. So it was a partially regrettable decision for me. (if that makes sense)

I'm still not clear on that.

You objected to my statement where I said SATA dvd drives are faster than IDE...and I gave you benchmarks for it. The rest of your statement is a different discussion altogether.

 

[Deadly Shadow]

^ You bought a "original" Software!

 

[Necrokiller]

Indeed I did. Nothing wrong with that. I did my faull research before doing it...and dare I say its better than any pirated software I have.

 

[ASKnASK]

Name the software. I'm sure its available for free on rapidshare :tv:

 

[Necrokiller]

Recover Data. Thats the full name.

i regretted buying my mobo xfx 630i

 

[AI Protech]

I regretted buying my mobo p5kpl-vm...... it was a misunderstanding tho..... i consulted fajoo, ali tayyab and many ppl before buying my rig i did a complete research and they told me to go for P5k-vm..... but while noting down the conf i accidently wrote p5kpl-vm instead of p5k-vm..... so i regret buying this mobo and now im doing a lot of research on mobos and will buy carefully this time......

 

[Shahid]

I regretted buying my mobo Intel 945GCNL. Cant OC it. I have E2160 on it, can OC it to 3.o, but mobo doesn't allow me.
