QUOTE(Fantasia @ Jun 29 2010, 08:59 AM) edge to edge means how? the surface of the LCD area and the frame area is completely flat, (flush), so easier to clean and look neater. correct me if i'm wrong |

Added on July 4, 2010, 6:51 pmjust found that the dell product warranty starts on the date the order was confirmed, not when the date when the item was delivered, anyone discover the same thing? if this is really true, i dont think it is fair coz when the order was confirm, i dont "hold" the item yet, it was only 2 weeks after that when the item deliverd -.- This post has been edited by davehii: Jul 4 2010, 06:51 PM |

QUOTE(astria @ Jul 9 2010, 08:48 AM) it is still dual channel... sorry, how true is the above statement?the catch is that 2GB in the 4GB module will run in dual channel mode with the other module, but the remaining 2GB will be in single channel... because i had found http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/learnmore/...imen&~tab=topic "You may select a 3GB (1x1GB + 1x2GB) configuration, which does not match your memory in pairs, but this will not allow you to optimize the benefits of dual-channel architecture." |
