it is used as a cache, which is why it can't be reassigned.

edit: If it's working correctly you should be able to open a elevated permission command prompt windows and type the following command: "eccmd -info" without the quotes.

It will show you how much of the msata drive is currently being used for cache. Unless you have changed something in the settings.

i dont think this cmd works in aw

i dunno bout him...
but i decided not to use the dolby...
i m using Razer Surround as my surround sound processor...
biggrin.gif
Now i noticed something else...
normal graphics intensive games...no problem..
the problem comes when i am playing DOTA 2...
that is even weirder!!

some say DOTA 2 is running on inefficient engine that actually stresses the CPU more than GPU.
But CPU is not at the palm rest yes?

it could not be, i play dota 2 without any heating, maybe i m using custom control fan.
at the bottom is just hdd and off for ur case is ssd and odd

if yours also heat up maybe something else is causing the heat,the motherboard chipset? coz chipset heat up pretty fast

I just ran thru the Owner's manual..
there's nothing underneath the right-hand side palm rest.
Just HDD/SSD.

Weird.
Where's the heat coming from? sweat.gif

and i just saw that it is possible to upgrade the processor in AW14! biggrin.gif

yes, but it only make sense if you go for 4900

Another helpful link for u peeps here: http://www.alienwarearena.com/forums/topic...a-boot-option-/

I didn't post this initially is because I don't have a machine to try so not sure it can work or not but the person who posted this seems to verify that the steps are legit.

This link is useful for new alienware owners who wanna do msata as a boot option.

thanks~!
i do have this idea in mind

Is the new BIOS by Alienware themselves or they modded it? If it is by AW, where can I download it from?
*
by dell themselve, you can login to dell and add your product to their website. by then u can always check the latest driver n bios
