if u get 5850 from dell, ur wallet sure will bleed 1.... by the way GTX260M is still better than 5850 in most of the field

haha.. y dun u wait for gtx 4xxx???

how many year warranty is upto cust la... but the price confirm let u gg.

alienware after warranty ext is about 1.3k per year.. hahahaha

I don't think high-end GTX 4xx will fit the M15x already. The GTX 480M power consumption and size already too much...waiting for the mid-range ones- 460M etc.

But what about the 380M ar?
+1. I think I will sooner upgrade my HDD to SSD than my graphics.

i have call dell. M15x 1 year ext is rm700 2 year is rm 1.1k. Anyone can get better offer? Btw i change my LCD panel and now have 1 bright pixel? Do you think dell will replace new one for me again ?

I think u need to be corrected, unless it's those unknown unit from overseas, all can be upgraded, but price is definitely higher than wut u customise from online. Btw afaik 3 years warranty from overseas is covered by malaysia as well provided u do the ownership transfer. Make sure u check ur service tag b4 u purchase even those unit from overseas or retailer usually u can get info from the tag.

If u got the complete cover u can nego with the support, like say the bright pixel or dead pixel is makin u unable to perform ur work. Those with higher paid warranty usually can bargain it off. But it depends on how good ur bargaining skills is. Malaysia i am not sure but overseas they have very high customer satisfaction rate. But no doubt our malaysian people if dun care then sure they won't bother. Depends how serious we make our problem seems to be usually if u escalate ur case u might get lucky. But due to typical malaysian mind some do take for granted hence most supports will ignore or even brush off if u just mention ur screen got bright pixel or dead pixel. Best is to mention the screen is blurry, givin images, dims, or having dark spots. If they see it's a serious case they might change the panel for u coz the problem is not the dead pixel or bright spot it's the panel. 

I hope nobody will take advantage of this as I heard from the dell support technician some do take advantage of it by claiming for items which totally don't have any fault. 

Use my line last time got 2 particles of habuk in the LCD.

"Here's the dust particles mentioned. It looks really obvious when on white background and good lighting and really annoying for me to enjoy my Dell experience comfortably."

Company nowadays, they seem to market the whole idea of experiences with them are the best. So by saying that, it helps.

 

Nope. It's okay for me. I still own a DeathAdder (1st gen) and the Imperator doesn't "fill up" my hand like the DeathAdder does, but it's not small by any standards. Worth the RM279 I paid for it. Adjustable buttons are nice but you'll most probably only use them once and leave it there.

Welcome Chidori. Added you to the list. What specs did you get anyways?

If you ask me, better to stick to your GTX 260M than the ATI 5850 at the moment. But your temps are pretty high I must admit... I play my games pretty intense and never stinge on the performance and the details. So I max out my resolution and details settings whenever I can. METRO 2033, CRYSIS WARHEAD are the few games which really stress the GPU. Before I got my GPU (260M) Replaced with a new one with a new heatsink, my old HIGH TEMPS of a MAX or 92C has dropped to 85C. Even during normal gaming the old 260m gets about the mid 70s to 80 most of the time and rarely goes beyond 81 or 82 even when I overclock the 260M. I attribute it to my newer FAN + HEATSINK which DELL REPLACED for me about 1month back. Ever since then my temps have been really good with OC.
CPU Temps is 50s to mid 60s while gaming.....

what software can i see my gpu/cpu temperature?

CPUID HWMonitor is most precise.

Speedfan have Graph Inteference, which is kinda cool

Visit HWMonitor Or Realtemp Both also quite good but I think realtemp got newer version. There's other monitoring software available as well.

btw how to OC the processor and GPU ...thx ...
