V-sync was never on in most of my games anyway..
765 ain't that powerful after all

Ic ic.... How about the Alienware programs like CC? Any problems with Windows 8.1?

have no problem so far with both on Win 8.1 but I haven't been using 8.1 for a long time. Less than a week for sure

By the way, would there be a new driver updates for the GPU since it's Win 8.1 ?

hello guys, i need an opinion about the warranty, my alienware warranty will expire on 24/1 this friday, do i need to extend the warranty now? i m planning to sell this laptop after my degree finish on late july and buy the new y50, so issit worth to extend my warranty? my alienware spec is like on my signiture, what is the fair price i can potentially get? thanks guys

there seems to be alot of updates for my AW14. Should I update all of them?

Yeah, I've checked the site that they've added Windows 8.1 drivers already. I might be able to update to Windows 8.1 without any problems (I hope).

Guys, what's your settings on this? Do you enable or disable it?

Ic ic.... Well, I'm just waiting for that moment when they release Windows 8.1 drivers then I'll upgrade to Windows 8.1. I think now it's the time to do so.

Finished updating to Windows 8.1. No unexpected events fortunately. Everything is smooth. Now to try out some games. 

Somehow after updates, the same items still reappears in the Dell website. I guess the detection doesn't really work

Right-click on the battery icon and you'll have that option. If I'm not mistaken is the first option after your right-click

horns Yes, it is the first option. It's called "Desktop mode battery change".

HAHAHAHAHA!!! 

Urs is special one issit?

Resolution: 1920x1080

Lighting Quality: Medium
Effects Quality: Medium
Post Process Quality: Low
Mesh Quality: High
Terrain Quality: Medium
Terrain Decoration Quality: Low

also put your FoV to 90 which is optimal for 1920x1080. it will make your game a tad more pleasurable.

Windows 8 is to much trouble. Anyone here know how to install Windows 7 under EFI? Installs without a problem for legacy.

Dell doesn't provide a driver for Windows 7 for the Broadcom wireless. What the hell? Let me try the Dell US drivers.

I thought UEFI is for windows 8 and above? I don't think windows 7 can be installed using UEFI.

I've tried but having issues getting it done in EFI. I think I'll just have to do it legacy or something for the meantime.

First time, it said boot issue after the first restart.
Second time, screen goes black when it tries to boot.

Finally I just legacy installed it. I'll try again later once I have more information on this. I'm guessing installing EFI with Windows 8 is a breeze?

Doesn't say UEFI in msinfo32. I switched it to legacy in order to be able to detect the DVD, etc initially. Tried a few sets of instructions from google plus your link but still having trouble getting Windows 7 installed on UEFI. Secure boot won't work for Windows 7. I don't want Windows 8 until I have no choice in the matter, so I'll probably only go with the new OS next machine upgrade (in a year or two).

Anyway, don't have a second machine to hold me off while I try so I just installed Windows 7 like normal on legacy. I'll go back once I have some time. I had to put the stock hard drives back in and the stock ram and the Dell delivery fellas are coming tomorrow to pick the box up. Lucky I didn't get rid of the stock items.

Because I had to give up the M17xR4, I have 2x8GB (2x) of ram for sale, it'll work on the older generation of the alienware machines that don't have a lower voltage requirement.

CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10, 2x8GB DDR3, 1.5V, 1600Mhz, 10-10-10-27.

What a waste, let me know if anyone is interested? Sells new for RM519++ but it'll be significantly cheaper since it's used and has a lifetime warranty.

Sure thing man, please sapu the ram

Installed it already? 

horns Ic ic.... I totally forgot about that... Wah, u help ppl to sapu stuff. Sapu mine also. XD

LOL!!!!

Anyways, anyone interested in this?

Let's all get Alienware 18s! 

Actually, I did think about getting AW18 but sadly not available in MY. I don't wanna do parallel import cos of warranty sake.

HAHAHA!!! Come come, let's all go crazy! 

Aiks, how you know I'm crazy? 

Yeah, if it was officially I wouldn't hesitate getting one. What a shame!

Best thing to do is to confirm with US I think, since the warranty originates from there. If we're talking illegear. Have to see if can extend to 2-3 years if not it's really worthless.

Singapore I'm guessing can get a complete cover type warranty.

so when is Alienware 20 coming up?
