Yeah warranty, RAM and HDD are very expensive in US. We suggest using your own HDD and RAM instead of upgrade it. For warranty, it is possible to purchase from us and then extend your own from Dell Malaysia. Our M14x and M11x are priced at the same as Dell Malaysia. Do understand that our M14x base specs are higher than Malaysia base spec. However, our M17x 3D and non 3d prices are lower than Dell Malaysia, especially the 3D one. We are pricing based on Dell Malaysia, please throw in some pools. We appreciate your feedback. M18x can claim warranty in malaysia ya. As long as the unit is new with premium warranty. I jus called dell n claim for lcd due to display issue. This post has been edited by kelvin_hata: Oct 4 2011, 10:34 AM

Do you guys think by applying thermal paste will solve this problem? I'm thinking of getting IC Diamond 7 for the GPU, is it good? ur cpu not good. pls upgrade to i7 940 btw, im upgrade my lcd screen to 120hz with 3d

QUOTE(hidz7 @ Oct 28 2011, 04:26 AM) Since my laptop can only support up to SATA 2, so I think among those 3, samsung 470 is the best right? Because even though M4 and C300 has high maximum read speed, that is only achievable using SATA 3 isn't it Lee? samsung use their own chipset which write speed always faster den other, read speed same or jus fast abit nia. intel return rate was but intel does fails me twice both my intel ssd 1st gen 160gb always give me bluescreen and system hang. my another latitude e4200 was using samsung PM800 almost closed to 4 years still in good condition. oh ya, sand force is fast but when ur ssd goin to full den u wil know the speed is drop

It is followed from Crucial, which significantly improves the rate but it must be said that the latter was heavily impacted by the M225 - the C300 is only reached 1%. The return rate for failure are up against Corsair and OCZ especially in the latter confirmed by far his last position. 8 SSDs are beyond the 5%: - 9.14% 2 240 GB OCZ Vertex - 8.61% 2 120 GB OCZ Agility - 7.27% 40GB OCZ Agility 2 - 6.20% 60GB OCZ Agility 2 - 5.83% 80 GB Corsair Force - 5.31% 90GB OCZ Agility 2 - 5.31% 2 100 GB OCZ Vertex - 5.04% OCZ Agility 2 3.5 "120 GB Note the courage of Corsair Force 80, who came to be inserted between cousins OCZ based SandForce ... Source QUOTE(owikh84 @ Oct 28 2011, 08:31 AM) M4 is doing great at random 4k usage in the QD1-3 range where most desktop activities take place. Updated top NewEgg Sellers: QUOTE(hidz7 @ Oct 28 2011, 10:49 PM) Crucial M4? I will consider it, thanks Lee. Nope, just 37%, that makes me wonder. ahci or ata on ur bios setting?? try read here :- http://thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimiz...ation-guide-2/#

AHCI, I have tried that before as well, there is a bit of improvement, well there is not many people who use Kingston V+100, so hard to ask people about this ssd. ahci work well to all ssd.
