Hello, I just bought a laptop. here are the specs:
Inspiron 1420, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300(2.4GHz, 800Mhz, 3M L2 Cache)
3GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Inspiron 1420
250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive for I1420
The first time i got the problem i left it on over night, to finish d/l some stuff and then when i got home from work i would try to play videos on youtube and the sound was all "choppy/broken up" i couldn't figure out why. So i restarted the laptop, then it worked fine, and then yesterday i was running "Reason 4.0" and i was running BitComet. and when i tried to play the song on Reason, it was all f'd up. i don't know if its the integrated audio or software problem. I am running vista but i think this computer should be able to handle Reason(which only takes up like 15-20 % of the processing) and bitcomet(which is about 10-15% processing). as a music producer i need my sound and i was relying on this to be my major machine but it can't even play sound out of youtube right at times so i wonder if i got a defected machine.
