I'm downloading it now, gonna check it out.
I was told it decreases performance for games, I'll see anyway. I've got nothing better to do anyway =\

Here's another problem I have: refresh rate.
It's locked at 59Hz, so when V-Sync is on, it locks the fps to that.

That's a big problem with Guitar Hero 3 and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, that are locked to the screen's refresh rate. With games like Guitar Hero, the timing easily goes a little off when the fps is lower. The game was built to run at 60fps.

When I try to set the screen to 60Hz, it reverts back to 59Hz instantly. How do I lock it to 60Hz?

sometimes it cannot be locked to 60Hz but just 59Hz. 1Hz is extremely small amount of duration - i never thought it can disturb any gaming experience.

try to disable your V-sync. it definitely will jump more than 60Hz.

Guitar Hero games don't let you disable V-Sync. The game goes haywire if the framerate is above 60, timing starts screwing around, etc.
I just tried Guitar Hero Aerosmith and it lags so much more than GH3. You'd think Aspyr would have learned their lesson the first time...

try to tweak the setting via Nvidia Control Panel smile.gif

Some people have done that, but then that would mean I'd have to reset it whenever I want to play a game with V-Sync, which is irritating(Portal splits up into 3 without V-Sync)

It's annoying if you play Guitar Hero or Stepmania, and especially if you're doing audio editing(EXACTLY what I wanted an i7 for) D:

Guys I need help. My DVD drive for my M15x just literally died.
It won't eject and it won't accept discs, it's totally locked.

Grah the first time this happened was because the DVD had a sticker on it(ahem games, why can't they just make them like they used to?).
But the drive was still detectable by the computer and I got it out with a credit card.

Now, the drive is totally dead, and I tried putting my credit card inside and I felt another disc. It's like as if there's no power going to the drive.

Okay, what the hell. I'm starting to really hate this machine.

BSoD once a day.
Audio stuttering
DVD drive just doesn't do anything AT ALL.
Overly sensitive macro buttons(WiFi died during the writing of this post)

Apparently to fix the first two problems you have to reinstall Windows 7. I just don't feel like reformatting my whole HDD, I've got too many games, apps and documents to back up D:

How do you guys send it back to Dell? How long would this take?
I don't want it to be exactly how it was with my Acer laptop(sent it every other day of the week).
