I've recently purchased the Dell 3007WFP screen and have not been able to get anywhere above an 1280x800 resolution on it, which is quite painful. Any ideas? Has anybody gotten the full 2560x1600 to work?

How does this compare with the Studio 17
I was all ready to buy a new Studio XPS 16 with windows 7 when I noticed that the high end graphics card of the Studio 17 is a relatively strong 4650 that is just behind the XPS's 4670.

Dell Studio XPS 16 Vs Dell XPS m1530 Vs Macbook Pro
I am debating which I want to get, I'm a student, so not a crazy amount of money available to spend and I know that any of these machines may cost me around $1600-$1700. I just want to know your guys' recommendation. If I do buy a Macbook Pro, I am planning on putting Win7 on it and using that almost exclusively. I would like a good battery life and good amount of power, something around 2.5GHz. I am going to be using it as my main machine. I will also be connecting a 2nd monitor while...

Looking for an owner's perspective
I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these, with the new 4670 graphics. Anything owners think I should know about it before buying? Are you satisfied with yours?
