    I got a new Hel-80 from ibuypower.com. But only after I got did I find this website... Oh well. I am happy with my new computer so far. It is configured with the t7200, 2GB corsair ram, and 7600 w/256...

    What I am trying to find out is the native resolution of the screen. I called them to upgrade it. But I am not sure if they did. Also, Is the viedo card a 7600 or 7600gt version of the Geforce Go? Onthe Ibuypower website they list it as Geforece Go 7600, but when you click onthe small tab in the configure your laptop area in video section it says it a Geforce Go 7600 GT.

    I am installing XP Pro x64 OS and with dual boot Vista Ultiamte x32.

    Any feed back would be cool.

    Thank you!

    Hi Javamon,
    After you installed your graphics drivers, go in the display settings. (Start/Control Panel/Display/Settings)
    The highest resolution should be your native resolution. :eek:

    Secondly, it is supposed to be a Geforce Go 7600 (non-GT)
    It must be a mistake from the program.
    Hope that helps :)

    Congrats on you purchase.

    You have the WSXGA+ Matte Screen.
    Do you find the text to be too small?

    I know you weren't asking me specifically, but I find text very comfortable. I use a 15.4" WUXGA as well, and I find the text on that too small. It's very readable, but starts to feel a little bit of a strain after an hour sometimes.

    Text size is small by default, but I just change the text size by about 35%.
