Hi all, I have been searching Google up and down for some cooling pad and though commonly was said to be Zalman NC2000 I wanted to ask some opinion from you guys.

Which one would really suit it well? I just wanted to get rid of the heat from the area you place or left palm cos the heat is kinda killing.

Thanks for the future reply.

Hi, does anyone tried dual booting SXPS16 with Windows XP?

Well some games just doesn't work perfectly fine with Windows 7 and having an extra OS would definitely ease myself.

I tried once before but my computer rejected it as it is a lower version(outdated) and it refused to install.

Hmm, it popped out an error. I actually forgotten what it wrote, something like unable to install older version.

Sorry to say but I'm actually a beginner in tech's stuff, just following what the guide taught me to.

Shrink the partition, and then restart computer and boot from the XP disc.

Too deep, anyway thanks for the info.
Time to google up and see how to change it.
And again, thanks for the reply.

So after that everything will be pretty simple eh?
Make a new partition and just boot from the disc?

I'm very grateful for your help, thanks dude.

Ahhh, a great thanks to lee_what2004 and now I have succeeded in dual booting Windows 7 and Windows XP without any problem!

The downside of this dual booting is finding the driver which really take some times.

You're using a 90W adapter?

What is the current updated version of Mobility Radeon 4670 drivers?
Mine dated back at 29/7/2009.

Tried downloading the latest but it's just not compatible.
Do I need to mod something?

EDIT: OK I uninstalled my current CCC, downloaded the new driver 10.10, mod it, install it but the CCC aren't showing in my comp. Any idea?

Added on October 25, 2010, 11:32 amOK I settled my CCC problem again, anyway anyone have driver for the integrated webcam and microphone for Windows XP?

During a Skype webcamming session, my friend is complaining that the webcam is showing myself in patches.

That doesn't happen when I'm in Windows 7, any help are gladly appreciated.

Yaa I just realised it support mobility.
Hmm, then it should be the IDT I downloaded is from Dell XPS 15 I think.

But it's working compared to all of the IDT drivers I download but now all I left is the mic thingy and to update my integrated webcam drivers.

Can't stand the way my friend keep complaining about the image.

I tried testing hardware, just can't find it.

Mine went freezing few times before that I have to restart it.
If I were to leave my game there running on its own and when it heat up everything started to get laggy.

By the way, I'm using a 130W adapter.

Hey guys, I'm planning to upgrade my SXPS 16 to 8GB ram from current 4 GB (2x2GB).

The reason to this is because my computer constantly lagging a moment when I export pictures via Lightroom 3 and CS5 unless I got the wrong impression that these weren't the fault of the 4GB ram.

Hope someone could give me some input, thanks.

Hey -kytz-, what's your comp processor speed?
Mine was core 2 duo 2.8 Ghz, I don't have trouble editing RAW but the problem arise when I'm exporting.
You could feel whole comp being sluggish for few seconds(till the pictures were exported).

Also another thing, I never saw my Physical Memory usage shoot high before at all when I'm using Lr3 so after a while I realised RAM doesn't really help much
unless you're a heavy multitasker but processor speed should help in photoshop. CMIIW.

Not sure for you kytz but I don't see my Lr consume that much memory as it stays kinda stationary all of the time, maybe as what lee said, HDD not fast enough?

When I'm using Lr3, I have my mozilla with 9 tabs running, iTunes, Skype video calling with a friend, MSN Live and Microsoft Office 2007. Physical memory kinda stationary around 65% (2.6Gb+).

But CPU usage would be low except when I'm viewing new image or when I'm exporting in Lr, well that's the only time it become sluggish.

Yes, too high till it would freeze for a moment.
And also, I export 1 picture by 1 picture.

Oh alright, I think I will give it a shot.

Alright, so now keeping it turned on and I saw the multiplier became 10.50.
So I'm done for the day right?
