jus called dell for a replacement for the adapter and questioned them on the light leakage. the guy put me on hold then when he got bac, guess wat he told me.... "the screen is normal. its due to the design of widescreen lcds".. i was like WTF!@ noob tech support. then told me dat eventhough he changed it for me, the result wud be the same.. *sigh*.. in the end.. i jus got adapter replacement only...

thanx for d info. *cheers*

using x1400. yes. got differences. but not significant.

1) yes.. definately have improvement.. but IMO, not significant enough for us, normal users to notice..

2) SATA is sufficient.

its perfectly normal bro..

add me also la.. been using for 2 weeks already

i doubt intel's GMA950 can handle NFS Carbon.. if yes also, you wudnt be pleased by its performance..

wat is NTLDR??
after the format, is shows HEALTHY and with a drive letter.
after the restart, the drive letter "dissapear"

no one willing to help me here???? *sob sob*

the DMD did not cause d problem of the "disappearing" partition. i jus tested formatting the DMD partition.. combine wit the unallocated partition.. then created a new partition (total: 1.winxp 2.diagnostic 3.remaining left)..
but after restart laptop.. prob occur again. the remaining partition hilang again.. *sigh*

guys, IMHO, if u guys wanna format ur laptops, dun download drivers from dell MSIA website.. get it from DELL USA website.. their much more complete..

er.. i tink u can disable in the bios

or use NHC .. set to max performance.. then it;ll go full speed always

then use the NHC method.. dat will work

dude, he's jus showing to us dat he managed to complete NFSC using he's i6400 wit x1300 graphics.. dun make it a big deal la..

btw.. try to quote and post in a single reply.. (to avoid spamming)

not bad for 3dmark06.. wat bout 3dmark05?
