yes, Alieware have that sticker but its stick on the CPU and mobo only. i don't really remember about GPU, but i do think there is none.

to access CPU, mobo and GPU, you have to open the touch panel and keyboard, where the step are quite complicated. thats why Alienware separate the compartment of RAM and HDD so we can access easily without any hassle smile.gif
*
i dont think there is a single sticker on the mobo or cpu or GPU

but at least HHD sure will win with older 7200RPM HDD

ya, is quite a good option for those who wan a minor increase of performance.....
but the improvement is not obvious like SSD.....^^
SSD has low capacity which is most of the people dont like, they will say "Wa!! 80GB, RM700++!!!

Excuse me...i got a question here. How huge is the difference between i3-330UM & i5-520UM while running application & gaming?
*
the different for this 2 proccessor is i3 dont have turbo boost while i5 have turbo boost(overclock itself)
for the review and game tested, i5 520UM is still slow than SU7300 while gaming, but in rendering hyperthreading(Core i series) will take thier advantages.

well, for gaming is not CPU depends, most of the game is GPU depends. as long as ur graphic card is strong enough, then would be nice d.
For game like star craft 2(real time stratergy), this will need CPU and GPU power, for M11x i dont think can handle nice while there is a lot of creep or units there.....

my m11x very slow while play startcraft 2 is because of the graphic driver, after update now i can play with ultra mode oredi.

Thanks guys, now really enjoy my AW. rclxms.gif

My friend M11x-R1 have better performance in gaming, but lower benchmark in 3d mark 06

What can you expect out of a dual-core 1.2GHz proc?

well, i didnt expect anything, but seems a lot of people phrasing thier M11x can play a lot of games with High/Ultra high details(maybe in 800x600 resolution)?

well, i think u installed the beta driver provided from Dell, try to update it, have a look on google, which how they update it^^
overclocked it might give u reach around 12-14k benchmark
for 5870 3d vatage only 8k, urs already 10k, win 5870 d^^

Any safe tips in regards doing bios flash blush.gif
i have no idea how to do it  unsure.gif
just in case later whole thing unable to turn on tongue.gif
*
the best way to do is, download the latest M17x bios, then open the win flash provided inside the bios file.
2nd download ur m15x latest bios, extract it to the place where u familiar.
using the win flash to flash ur M15x, then everything will done. while flashing, dont do anything.

Hi putochip123,

the first time i use my m11xr2 to play startcraft2 it lag like hell, but after i update the graphic driver from dell then everthing change and can play in ultra mode rclxms.gif , it will only lag abit on cutscenes sad.gif .

so maybe you can check you driver ver. If you driver ver is 189.69, A00, this is just a beta ver of driver from nvidia. and starcraft2 only can detect the intel graphic card only.

Now i am using ver 257.30 A01 from dell.

hope this will help.
*
haha, im using a better driver version than urs as well, 258.96 WHQL official version

For notebook gaming, for avarage not lagging is 40FPS above, 30FPS will be lag a bit, but playing at ultra with 19FPS only, it seems to be vry lagg... maybe ur term(i bolded) 19 is a bit lag, lagg will be cant play at all

i have absolutely no problems playing Starcraft 2 with mixed medium/high settings. no lag even with multiple units on screen. ultra might be a little too much to handle (i get less than 25 fps at most times). however, i'm using M11X-R1 and i heard that M11X-r2 has problems with its Optimus drivers, giving poor gaming results.
*
+1 for u.medium/high setting would be fine as i had tested. and it is no lag when multiple unit as well. Ultra i get lower than 20FPS as well, picture posted, if multiple(30Unit) totally 2-5FPS only.
