Post some benchmarks and your Windows Experience Index...
Wanted to see if the rumor of i7-core is bad, true or not....
Yours is i7-720QM 1.6Ghz, boost up to 2.8Ghz??

Hey guys,
I recently found that my laptop only have 2.96GB RAM Usable
Right click on My Computer -> Properties
Izit normal??
I have windows 7 home premium 32bit and 4GB RAM installed
As i remember that "(2.96 GB Usable)" word is not there last time...
and i got "Service Pack 1D"... izit there b4 this?? i really not sure..
Want to ask u guys izit the same for u all??

So u mean yours also the same??
Have the "2.96 GB Usable" word??
and "Service Pack 1D" word??

I know that it shared memory with GPU..
and i know, i need 64-bit to use all 4GB RAM...
I jz want to compare with u all guys,
"IS your OS also have the same word ""2.96GB Usable"" in your system information..???" IF u use 32-bit OS with 4GB RAM...
and is your windows 7 have "service pack 1D"....???
Cuz as i remember the last time(dunno when), this 2 word did not appear in the system information...

System in control panel
OR
Right click "My Computer", click "Properties"

Where u online?? Home? Campus? Public?
Most probably spyware or adware... due to internet advertisement that U click b4 this...
this kind of threat much likely invisible to antivirus software...
U need malware removal software, such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware...
I suggest u download ComboFix and perform a scan... post your report at Technical Support...

Guys, i not sure this is consider normal or not...
Take a look...

It say "2.96 GB Usable" on the RAM...
Izit normal or not..?? As i remember those word is not there few days ago...

Please don tell me to upgrade to 64bit shet... cuz it also happen to 64bit OS user

Look down here...
I search the web and it also happen to some ppl using 64bit OS


I tried the "msconfig" to maximize the RAM to 4096MB but is still the same... everytime i restart the PC.. and i go to "msconfig" again. it show "0"(zero)
By the way, i'm using Studio XPS 16 DELL Laptop, and IN THE BIOS did not have Memory Remap stuff....

Anyone can solve this...??
I also did ask the same question in Technical Support : HERE

Not Pirate Version la... i got free upgrade from DELL...

i bought mine 4.2K, for P8700, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD 7200rpm, HD4670
i7-core got so cheap now??

Anyone got problem with the webcam??
my webcam is working fine locally.
But when doing video call with Windows Live Messenger,
the video fine for 2-3 second, then start to lag, finally, it freeze and the person on the other side can heard me and saw my video freeze..
But i can see their working perfectly with sound..
Anyone have this problem??
Any working driver??

no.. already test many times.. use different IP also.. maximum download speed, average is 150kb/s.
I don think is connection problem...

Thx a lot.. i already give up for this problem... look like no solution...
now is the webcam problem...
my old inspiron 1520 webcam video quality is much better than the current studio xps 16 webcam video quality
when video call using Windows Live Messenger... i know, both is 2.0MP webcam...
i check the 1520, the driver use year 2006 Microsoft driver... and the current 1640 use latest Creative Labs driver
then i uninstall the Creative Labs driver, and let the windows 7 self install it.. now using year 2006 Microsoft driver..
The result : still the same bad quality.. some time freeze...
then i reinstall the latest Creative Labs driver... Now, no more freeze, jz bad quality.. can see a lot of boxes
WLM version same... use same connection... at home...

i'm using HWmonitor version 1.10.0,
the latest version can't detect..
HD4670

I don think dell will replace the whole adapter for u, jz bcuz of that light..
the LED is embedded inside before the rubber layer....
so nothing much can be done..

i'm using notepal infinite, so far the result not really that big..
And beware of those lower grade notepal infinite (something like AP)...
i notice got 2 different box, 1 with chinese +english word, another don have, jz english.
The price is almost the same...
i bought the one with none-chinese word.. so far the temperature only drop about 3-4 C when playing games, fan put on HIGH.
and i notice the fan not really that fast, and didn't have much cooling at the bottom (palm rest).
my friend bought notepal W2 (2 fans) and i really can feel the cooling effect... (not sure bout the temp drop)
so i think is better u go test for yourself rather than hearing ppl view..
Zalman if got more money can get that..
After my notepal infinite fan dead, i think i will go buy better fan and change it..

i think is better u go buy those plastic cooler RM15, with 3 fan..
then go computer accessories shop buy 3 high performance fan 4500rpm,
then replace all the fan.. it will be much better...

May i know izit all studio xps 16 have "Integrated CREATIVE Sound Blaster® X-Fi MB Audio Software Solution"
Does it have software to control the audio??
What about IDT?? izit the same thing?

WLED is definitely nice IF u compare to normal LED screen..
for RGBLED, is about the same quality u normally see those 22"/24 "desktop monitor. or maybe those plasma HDTV color..

Well, comparing WLED and RGBLED, WLED color will be slightly pale, not much color tone compare to RGBLED..

Don ask for screenshot, cuz u won't see the different in your own monitor/screen.. u really need to see it in computer shop...
Else, imaging a normal landscape photo, and tone mapped HDR landscape photo.
