    Memory upgrade Dell D600

    If your machine uses 60-80% of the RAM with applications open, I'd say that you definately need more. 512MB is the bare minimum just to run Windows.

    Sager laptop not booting, ideas?

    Well one would hope that the monitor would at least come on even for a few seconds if it was the CPU overheating. You could always open it up and see if the CPU heatsink is clogged with dust or whatever.

    Perhaps something in your laptop is causing it to draw too much power during start up for the battery to cope and that's why it's only working when you've got the AC adaptor connected.

    Replacing Alienware m7700 LCD Screen

    If I'm not mistaken, with desktop PC's,you can run any resolution screen as long as the graphics card supports it.If your graphics card/chip supports the resolution you have in mind,it should work.I could be wrong though.

    Perhaps the CPU heatsink isn't properly seated against the CPU or the thermal paste needs replacement.
