does anyone get a small circle on the top left corner of the screen in discrete mode? i could actually expand that circle into a window (with nothing but blackness in it). it only happens when i'm in discrete graphics mode. however, when i switch to integrated and back to discrete, it disappears.

any idea?

For those who are playing modern warfare 2. Do not update to the latest nvidia driver. It will lower your fps BIG TIME. i already revert back to the previous driver.

i've installed the latest driver, didn't see any impact on FPS with MW2.

what SpeedStep does is it scales the frequency and power consumed by the processor. basically, it'll underclock the cpu to various speed levels and voltage in order to prolong battery usage. mainly, it'll scale based on the power scheme u choose through the OS. i think workload on the CPU also affects it. it's not new tech. already being used since Intel Centrino days.

correct me if i'm wrong.

i think i can answer that.

unless u have godlike soldering skillz, it's impossible as the chip is soldered onto the board. the only way to change the CPU is to swap the whole MB.

Just got an update for my extension of Complete Cover from 1 year to 3 years...my advice is.....PLEASE CHOOSE 3 YRS CC from the day you order your lappy online or you'll get the quotation like below:

Thanks for the request.

With regards to the information that you're after, here are the details for your reference:

Warranty Extension Price for 3 Year Complete cover  – RM 1950

Its nearly the price for one whole lappy!!!

wow....i'm glad i chose the 3 years complete cover warranty when i purchased my m11x.

most probably not.

maybe can get more free gifts, or can get certain pre-configured models on the spot.

guys should i update my nvidia driver using nvidia control panel?
it says this:

Verde Notebook release 197, WHQL
v.197.16, Release date 3/29/2010 12:00:00 AM.

System update does not support the system drivers for your system
Please check for an update from your manufacturer's website

enter ur bios and select "discreet" as you gfx mode., then u can install official Nvidia drivers.

but u would not be able to switch ur gfx mode. u'll have to use ur GT335m all the time. (which is fine by me) smile.gif

sad to say that at least 50% of my games and software are pirated, but if the games are good and support multiplayer mode, i'll definitely go ori. even so, i do not go around preaching what i don't practice. nor do i go around advertising my jack sparrow collection.

lastly, please do not feed the trollz.

the most common perception about the m11x is that just becoz it can play crysis at a decent framerate, it can also render images in photoshop at lightning speed. that's why the same question gets asked over and over again.

This strictly for M11x user only..and do at your risk

Ok i manage to install nvidia latest driver 197.16 and I can switch between intel graphic
i think ..i should call this lksing78 graphic driver ...hahahaha

here's the trick
download Nvidia driver from Dell web Here
download Nvidia latest driver from Nvidia web Here

1.extract Dell driver to ur c:/ ...don install them just yet..just exit by click cancel
remember this part c:/Dell/drivers/R253896/display

2.now extract the nvidia driver that u download from nvidia web
so ur extraction will be on c:/NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/197.16/Winvista_Win7_64/international

3.Now copy all files inside c:/NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/197.16/Winvista_Win7_64/international and paste them inside
c:/Dell/drivers/R253896/display
replace them with the new one

4.uninstall nvidia graphic from the control panel (in nvidia Graphic mode)
(I'm gonna skip this part cause i assume u guys know how to uninstall a software or a driver)
restart ur alien lappy

5.after u successfully restart ur lappy go to c:/Dell/drivers/R253896 ,there u can see setup.exe
click them to install ur new display driver

nice tip. will try this right now and see if it works.

that's a plus point if you want to game while travelling or wish to improve battery life. biggrin.gif i prefer to sleep while travelling.

reach hotel baru start gaming with the power cord connected. rclxms.gif so to me the SU isn't exactly that helpful, furthermore games are getting more intensive and for a gaming capable machine I would love to be able to play 1080p movies properly as well.

i think games like Supreme Commander would probably just crawl like halfway through the game.
*
i have Supreme Commander 2, runs at a decent framerate (>30fps) most of the time.

imho, if everyone wants to play more CPU intensive games, go get dome 18" desktop-replacement lappy and forget about portability. or better yet, get a uber desktop for 1/3 of the price.

guys..
last night i tried to use my m15x using battery..
but the battery only lasted for 2 hours..MAX!!
why is this??

and then, after i recharging it,i tried to play need for speed shift which i play with max graphics all this while..
when i tried to play on battery power..its so laggy..then i put on the ac adapter..then smooth again..

why is this?can anyone tell me..

in ur bios, turn off Intel Speedstep. will help when gaming on batteries...but the drawback is it'll definitely last much less than ur stated 2 hours.

Look like my method work but only on 197.16 driver for now.As it is officially supported 335M card
some of the people in notebookreview.com been using it ..so it's proven now u can upgrade ur graphic driver
the only question is ..how far does this driver push the 335M
I'll let other to decide ..any volunteer? tongue.gif

very strange. gpu-z and the system information on the nvidia control panel reports 197.16.

but device manager still shows 188.55.

hmmm.....so which driver is it really running?
