Last time I reformat my m11x after changing HDD to SSD and I used the bundled Windows CD for reinstallation.

Haha... Good for you, bro

Differ with my RAM and WIFI card only

Okay, you do not need to backup all of the aforementioned files, as they are embeded within the DVD. Just one notable weakness of using the DVD is that you have to wait for a long time for Windows Update to download and install SP1, as well as post-SP1 Windows Updates. It is okay. It is up to you to decide.

but if i ignore and download those update slowly after i install my system
no prob right?

some software i downloaded from dell website...
but i think LAN driver is old one compared to the one in the cd provided

can M17x r3 run dual GPU? and can upgrade its GPU in the future?

m17x = dual gpu
m17x r2 = dual gpu
m17x r3 = single gpu

yes, u may can upgrade more better gpu in future.

why they change to single GPU for r3 o...isnt dual gpu better than single?

my 2 years old M15x can boot in 29secs after changed to SSD, so i think ur one should can get less than 30 sec also.. =]

Guys, is it normal to receive 2 confirmation email from Dell with different delivery date?

hmm what u mean by that?
can boot at 29seconds using ssd?

^ i mean after change from HDD to SSD, ahahaha.

btw, can somebody here help me diagnose my problem,

tonight i bring out my M15x out from my room and turn on without plugged to charger, it turned on till login screen, but suddenly the screen black out and all LED turned on RED color, and it stucked like that. I can't even turn it off without unplugging the batt.

So i unplug&replug the battery and try to turn it on, but it refused to power up, again only all LED is on & all is red color.

I try to plug to charger, same thing, no luck...

try shuffling RAM memory & Unplug the CMOS batt, same thing happen

Quick Google say it probably loose connection of LCD or my graphic card is died,

so i dissasembly my m15x, checking LCD connection, open graphic card, released & cleaned it and assembly it back,

yet, same thing, can't power up, only all LED turned RED.

when already desperate and plan to order new GPU soon, i try unplug the battery and plug only to charger, and try power it up, and BING, it ON... =.=

so i think it's my battery, but then i try put back the battery, and now it can turn on also...

Now i'm confused what actually the problem is... aarghhh

I read from some website, saying that M17x r3 hdd port 0 got some problem in loading ssd. sata3 ssd installed in port0 will get sata2 speed, is it true?

Yes, u r rite.... Sata port 0 is design for sata 2 and 3... But the solution is, if u with sata 3 ssd, u must install the sata 3 ssd on hdd 1 slot to get full speed.
