    My screen resolution on Dell 9100 only goes up to 1280 by 800, while my friend has an older Dell 8x00 (dont remember perfectly what is in x place) and his goes up to round 1600x1200 with the same ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700. Does that mean that the newer dell has a crappier monitor to go along with it?

    Is anyone else experiencing this,
    thanks for responses

    Its not crappier, just lower resolution. Chances are that your screen is brighter. He just got a more expensive version at the time. There is no way an 8x00 would have a mobility radeon 9700 BTW

    GPU cooling (100°C->75°C)* Inspiron 8600 * 1.8ghz Pentium M * 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo (337/242 -> 400/300) * 2x512 MB DDR2700 SDRAM * Aquamark 3: 24058 * 3DMark'03: 3404 * 3DMark'01 SE: 13120

    Thanks for your answer, the card goes way higher, just the monitor can't handle it. I guess i can live with it, until i return this computer and get a Toshiba for cheaper price just better.
