i only have cellphone camera, 2meg pix quality image imagine...

y do u say so??

really hope sxps16 can get HD5770 GDDR5 

Hi all, I just got my Asus Xonar and when I connecting it to my XPS16 and 2.1 speaker, I can only get 2.0 sound from my speaker (no sound from woofer). Also sometimes sound output from speaker tends to be distorted. So I want to know:

- how to get 2.1 sound?
- is the sound card faulty? I not sure if its setting that caused the distortion

Thanks in advance.

I believe the specs are already known, even if they had errors and are not official. Whether or not the GT 445M will be available for the XPS 15 is yet to be known. i5-460M as starting processor, GT 425M as starting GPU. Number of USB ports unknown, should be 1x 3.0 and at least 1x 2.0. Full HD.

Experts, would you recommend HD 5730 over GT 445M? I know 445 is more powerful but 5730 has a handy 24/26W TDP. Concerned because Nvidia GPUs tend to be seriously hot (my "24W" GT240M ran at a cool 95C). I know 425 is for the moment inferior anyways. Design of new XPS may have the same screen/vent issue, but then it has USB 3.0 for future use.

Anybody knows if the Front Side Bus Speed (2.5/4.0 GT/s) matters?

Because i5-450 and i5-580 have the highest (4.0) while all other i5s and i7s have the same (2.5).

I heard cache size is important too, but the i5s have only 3mb compared to last generation high T series with 6mb.

Guys get ready 21/22 October new XPS. Hopefully XPS 15 with GT445M and at RM4000+

If you are not willing to wait anymore (as I have done for a long time now) then ignore the fact that Sandy Bridge updates + ATI could come anywhere from January to March or April.

The fact is, the new XPS (save the 17.3 inch) are appalling. They use crappy graphics cards. Based on the questionable pictures, perhaps the vent problem is gone. But with GT435 et al you never know.

Only problem I see with going with the SXPS 16 rather than these 3 new screwups is the ugly leather and the screen/vent, and maybe lack of USB 3.0.
