Hey Acid, wanted to ask, is it possible to update the ATI driver using the one from AMD's website? I need the latest driver for Dirt3.

Thanks

why need latest driver for Dirt 3?

Because the latest catalyst versions usually have updated drivers to run games best.

jz scan and email them can d... even if u fax u still get ur ori form back u use fax b4? its jz like scanning the paper then send the info to recipient only

When anyone going to buy DV6....pls check the screen bezel's jointing between front (Aluminum) & back (Plastic).... some portion has bigger gap or jointing not so good... My right side jointing has bigger gap.

Any owner having the similar problem?

mine dv6 don't know why suddenly so lag...now typing also delay. I opened task manager and saw 112 processes!! How many processes you guys have? Or issit because of mine C: Windows drive left few space(15GB left of 60GB) due to repartitioning?

Nais.. and welcome.
I'll update the owner list later.

Just slightly faster and slight improvement on overall system response.

2 stick 8GB = RM3k?

Yes, u can update it using the latest driver from AMD website. I'm using Catalyst 11.5 atm.

Yes, maxereno reported this also.. me myself, blissd and ThisIsBoletaria noticed it too. We just agreed its a poor worksmanship. I've posted the link in 1st post long time ago.

how to directly use F1 F2 F3
instead of having those volume adjust, brightness adjust thingy@@

It's cheap....compare to THIS

I did some repartition...now i got C:Windows drive(60GB), D:Program Installation drive(300GB) and G:Data drive(330GB), F:Recovery drive(14.3GB). What is cold boot? Should i increase the size of mine C drive because i heard that if you running out space in C drive, the Windows will crawl like a snail. I got 116 processes running after normal reboot. Now even boot up time is slower...help~

6001 or 6114??

Everything is so slow even I open warcraft 3 also need to wait 10s!!! Wtf is wrong with mine dv6?!?! Hard-disk problem ah?! I tried to copy files from d drive to c drive...the speed is about 16-20Mbps. Normal speeh eh? Mine hard disk is Samsung. How about you guys?

Disable your startups ?

Lol... you need to enter Bios and disable the "Action" key.

Yup, if your window partition running out of space it will slow down the whole system. But my fren only have 1.6GB left in his Windows partition but it didn't slow down so much like yours.

1. Any HDD or CPU activity while its idling?
2. Try to disable Norton Anti-Virus?
3. download Hijackthis and save it in your HDD, run a scan, save the log and attach it here. i'll see if i can help.

Link : HijackThis Version 2.0.5 (Beta)

btw my HDD is Seagate.

Does the 6114tx available at Mobility Square now?

Switching Off HP Action Keys

Action Keys is HP code for "let's take a standard keyboard layout and make the keys do things that people don't expect them to do". In the context of the dv6, this means that pressing F2 will cause the screen brightness to go down instead of, you know, triggering whatever command F2 is supposed to trigger normally, like Rename File. The dv6 has this enabled out of the box, and it can be very confusing. I don't know how many people actually like it, but I'm certainly not one of them, which is why I turned it off.

This is how I did it:
1) Reboot computer. Keep pressing the Escape button as the screen turns on. This will lead you to a screen with a few text options that look something like this:



I can't remember what the options are, so pick the one that leads to BIOS setup or similar.

2) Look for the option called Action Keys. It should be under either Advanced or Miscellaneous.

3) Set it to "Off" or "Disabled". If the option is called "Disable Action Keys", then obviously set it to "On" or "Enabled". The point is you want to turn Action Keys off; PMR level English will help you greatly here.

4) Go to the last screen of the BIOS menu and select "Exit and Save Changes". When prompted, choose "Yes". This will save the changes to your BIOS and reboot your computer.

And that's it: your function keys will now be accessible without pressing the Fn button, and the special functions are accessible by pressing Fn+F<whatever>. As it should be.

It may interest you to know that my hard drive (also the Samsung one) also suffered a huge slowdown out of stock whenever I tried to copy a lot of files from my external HDD to my internal HDD. Windows slowed down, everything slowed down. It was insane, but it sped back up as soon as the file copy was done. So, check these things first:

1) Are there any big files copying/downloading/torrenting? If there are, try stopping it first and see if your system speeds up.

2) Try defragging the hard drive. I use Auslogics Disk Defrag because it's bloody billions of times faster than the built-in Windows defragger. A fragmented hard drive (one where lots of files have pieces everywhere instead of being ordered in one sequential line) will always suffer slowdowns as the hard drive head will have to go everywhere instead of just following a simple line whenever it's reading or writing files.

3) Run Scandisk. Open Windows Explorer/My Computer, right click on your hard drive, Properties -> Tools, Error-checking, Check now. This will scan your hard drive for serious problems. Pray that it doesn't find any because it would mean your hard drive has serious problems that cannot be fixed.

Anyway, because I screwed up my initial setup, I ended up recovering to factory settings using the recovery disks. After redoing my setup properly, there was no huge slowdown when copying stuff. Consider doing this; it takes a long time (about 3 hours minimum to recover if you deleted the recovery partition like I did), but it seemed to fix the issue.

Got ur dv6 oredi?

found the ram price at dell m'sia http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...ienware-m11x-r3

Dude, Dell charges RM 249 extra to switch to 2x4GB. That's a huge margin; can we even believe that the 2x8GB price will be representative, especially considering how rare 8GB notebook RAM is?

how do u update it? which to download? i download but it says my graphic card is not the right one... can provide me wif the link?
