maybe we can use msn/yahoo messenger to chat? i believe most of the 6400's owner also use messenger. then we all can have a conversation together.

let me start first, yen_sen1985@hotmail.com

i quit irc long time ago. don't like to use it.

it depends. saw some forum still very active although they use msn to chat. because the msn conversation just schedule for sometimes only. maybe once a week so other time, the forum still active.

haha...i quit irc after i graduate my secondary sch. last time got my own channel, just same class friend can enter

quite troublesome to create a channel, don't like to use it because got a lot of advertisment, very annoying.

no. it sucks out air to the behind vents. the bottom vent is used to sucks air in also. try turn on the fan to high speed by using ik8fangui, then put your hand on the beside, bottom and behind vents, you will know the different.

definitely it is not worth. so expensive...

you see mine(in AUD$):

same as me. only got 1gb ram upgrade, include delivery need rm3.3k

Maybe you can ask if there any possibility to self collect?

guys, i just receive an email from dell. dell offer me to upgrade the warranty, very worth the price i think. see below!

1 year Next Business Day1 + 1 year Complete CoverTM 2 Price RM 340.00
2 year Next Business Day1 + 2 year Complete CoverTM 2 Price RM 530.00

offer ends on 3rd November 2006, i think i will upgrade it since it is not expensive as RM800!!!

May 2006. Yes, it is quite worth the price.

You also receive the mail from dell? Offer you to upgrade your warranty, right? For me i think it is worth and I going to upgrade it. Look at the mail properly, it is 1 year next business day + 1 year complete cover. I think dell offer 2 kind of warranty, 1 is complete cover, another 1 is limitted warranty which not complete cover some damage.

I also feel that the Intel PROSet/Wireless software eat a lot of resources, changed to windows before but i changed back. Because I like the icon

I know those processes, I knew it for long time ago. Tried to disable them before and change to windows wifi manage. But I changed it back because I like the Intel Wifi's GUI than windows.

Will 40MB recourses improve the system performance a lot?

That's for a new system. If you are not getting a new 6400, you won't get RM550 offer. Check the warranty extension on dell website, it stated there,

1 Year CompleteCover With NBD(8x5) Onsite Response(Parts + Labour) Extension 536.00

2 Years CompleteCover With NBD(8x5) Onsite Response(Parts + Labour) Extension 936.00

If you use this to calculate, it is 936-530 = 406 ringgit different.

If I'm not mistaken, steven extend his warranty before. Steven, can you please let us know what is the price that dell offer to you last time for the warranty extension?

For me, I will show the dell logo, core duo/windows sticker.

If you got time and patient, put sticker for the speaker there sure very nice

Thanks for the info. So confirm this offer from dell is really worth the price. Definitely I'll take it.

Btw, should put this as a note at the FAQ, let others know that getting the 3 years CC when ordering their 6400 is always cheaper than extend it later.

Because even though dell offer the price for the warranty extension is cheap but compare to the price when I order my 6400, it is still a bit expensive. Around RM4xx something that time, and now I extend it for RM530.

bro, your link is not working And I don't think the dell website one is the same as the dell email's offer. The price is different.

you just get the basic system? why didn't upgrade processor to core2duo, truelife screen?

I think you make a mistake. The website you gave, is different than the email I receveied. The website stated there RM9xx for 2 years complete cover extension. The offer that dell gave me, just RM530 only. I think some user get the offer, some not. Maybe because I order mine for 1 year complete cover only so dell offer me to extend it.

It is a offer that dell email to me. Did you receive the mail? I think some got some don't.

It depends on the user. I don't think core duo will obsolete so fast. 64bit still not popular yet. And most of the company won't simply change their pc.

IMO, core duo can still survive for at least 2 years.

If you receive the email from dell, I think you will get this offer. Else, you may need to email/call dell to ask whether you can get this offer or not.

No. It is my first time to buy dell items.

Your spec is good

My gf got the 640m for RM3.1k, T2400 and 2x512MB are different than yours, others is the same. With RM400, can get core 2 duo and 1x1GB, not bad

Just 1 day didn't visit the thread, few pages post added... and also saw steven get shoot by others...haha funny

I think I also having the same problem for the LCD screen. Going to ask for replacement after 1 year.

Nice spec. But your budget are quite high, you should go for core2duo and 1x1GB 667Mhz.

If no special case happen, you should receive your unit at Thursday or Friday.

More RM700, different is core2duo->core duo, dvd combo->dvdrw, x1400->x1300, 6cell->9cell, 80gb->120gb.

No, credit card payment is faster than you used other types of payment. I already use the 12mth 0% installment payment.

That time I ordered mine, dell send email to me the next day, replied and confirm the order. After confirmed not long time, bank called and ask for payment approve, approve it and done the payment already. Then Thursday called for the delivery but no one pick up the phone call, called to my dad handphone, confirm the delivery at Friday.

Why didn't upgrade the RAM to 1GB. 512MB really not enough one..

Try look for polo backpack. Friend told me it is very cheap, below RM60 only.

Guys, check this out, dell just sent me an email, told me my warranty extension already success, payment made.



Anyone that received the email for warranty extension offer, act fast, its end at 03 Nov.

I bought it at May 2006. Around 5 months ago.

So far, not many people receive the email from dell. Wonder it is just some offer that dell give to some buyer only or it is open for public. Try call dell SA and said your friend got the offer, ask them whether you can get the same offer or not.

Sure you can upgrade it later. Just buy another stick of RAM and put it inside. If you don't know how to add, look the manual, it is just like 123 steps only. If you going to upgrade it, make sure you get the 667Mhz RAM. I'm going to upgrade the RAM to 2x1GB 667Mhz, now waiting the price to drop only

Try look the laptop backpack thread. Inside there are many different backpack photo and price.

The promotion they offer to you is 3 years complete cover or 3 years limited warranty? If it is complete cover, it is a waste that you didn't upgrade it. But if you always chase new technology, not prepare to use the laptop for more than 1 year, no point upgrade it
