Wide Version update? - Page 8

Marian Nichols · 02-12-2004, 03:08 PM

Nice to see you back, will the HD version be 'ok' to just run on one computer, but still get the extras.

Reichart · 02-12-2004, 03:12 PM

I'm sorry, I don't understnad the question.

but, the HD version is almost the EXACT same as the normal version. It won't hurt anything to use it.

Simple, if you have a wide screen, or multiple monitors, it will support these.

Jav400 · 02-12-2004, 04:24 PM

There is just a drop down list for monitor 1 and so on, and a checkbox for widescreen mode so that people with these needs can have extra options. The rest of the program is basically the same as you are used too.

Thanks, that did answered my question

Is this an "open" beta ?

I just got my shiny new Alienware laptop with a rather sexy wide display 1680x1050 and my fish are looking slightly odd :-(

Jav400 · 02-15-2004, 05:28 PM

No, it isn't an open beta. There are a certain number of testers that have already been chosen. But, thanks for the interest.

Dell has a new laptop called XPS. I guess that stands for Extreme Performance Series or something. The only 2 cpu choices are 3.4Ghz and 3.4EE.

Is that the LapTop that has the changeable video card ? I saw the new Alienware laptop that has that and it is Soooo sweet .

Jav400 · 02-16-2004, 10:11 AM

Yep, thats the one. I don't think they do it exactly the way it sounds though. The customer isn't suppposed to change it out themselves. I guess Dell doesn't want to spend countless hours of tech support for fumble fingered people that have no idea what they are doing. As I understand it, the process is as follows: If you purchase the laptop now with the max ATI card in it, when a new card comes out you are allowed one free time that a tech support person will come to you and change out the card for the newer one that you purchase. I guess thats better than nothing. Maybe it will start a trend and things will get better for replacing some laptop parts.

Have I mentioned before that you're all nuts?

You've been around here this long Mark and you're just now figuring that out?

Hey, I'm just under a fortnight shy of my first anniversary here. (And Morgan's birthday is coming up shortly, I seem to remember!)
Now how many 1 year olds do you know that are as sharp and bright as I am?

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
