Well if it keeps this way, I see myself running on GTX 480M SLi's soon..... as long as Alienware comes out with that configuration. Deviltech's looks good but its still not as attractive as the Alienware M17x PERIOD!!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes. It is so you'll have to update the BIOS to A08 to get that rectified smile.gif

Thanks, just did that and I can see the improvements.


I have a question,

What are the current upgrades we can do?
GPU?

What about harddisk space?

i see myself like that too. GTX480M SLi is whole new level of performance, provided if all the major bugs been fixed.

Deviltech's system is unstable and premature. not worth it. looks good on paper, tho.

GTX285M or ATi HD5870.

HDD max at 500GB for 7200RPM and slightly large for 5400RPM. swapping HDD is just simple task, no hassle. opposite to GPU upgrade. you have to consult sifu Puto or sifu Julchin regarding this matter.

So i don't have to purchase any other 5.1 sound card for it ?
I have read some reviews they say Roccat Kace have some minor problems when used with Alienware products, ie over vibration, etc .. ..

for the M15x the max graphically I know is the ATI 5870 but will take some effort for doing it and acquiring the card.

I'm not sure how well it will work as the salesperson told me I'd need a few jacks (2/3colours I think) to make full use of the KAVE.

So far i also never feel vibration on Kave..

Roccat Kave has 5 jacks. 3 jacks for audio (plug all for 5.1 i guess) 1 jack for mic, and 1 USB jack for powering the headset and controller. I remembered Docter mentioned Kave with the external Creative USB sound card? biggrin.gif

M15x also only has 3. 2 Earphones and I mic. Salesperson told me I would need the Full Fledge Soundcard jacks to use the Kave and told me if I didn't it would be a waste...

That card is around RM200++ and Kave is aorund RM300++
All together should be around RM500++ then . . rclxub.gif

kinda not worth it in my opinion, unless you can afford it, then it will be another story . .


Added on October 17, 2010, 11:29 pmM15x and M17x should be able to support it, but not M11x i think (due to only 3 jacks, 2 audio and 1 mic)..

only M17x is FULLY capable of handling 5.1 configuration, as explained by Julchin below. you need 4 input jacks including 1 for microphone.

when you use Kave with M15x, certain physical speaker inside the headphone itself will not functioning due to no input.

even if you are using it with onboard sound chipset from M17x, the subwoofer effect is nowhere near a level it supposed to be heard, or vibrate to poison you more. plus, you can't find any sound driver that capable of handling Kave except the one that supplied with my external soundcard.

QUOTE(putochip123 @ Oct 17 2010, 06:15 PM)
ya, fully support kave, any other sound card support it as well

if you referring "fully support" as you can hear sound from it, then it quite incorrect. its slightly more than a sound biggrin.gif
