I am not really satisfied with Windows VIsta on 6400... seems not really enough for the spec...

but one thing I am very curious about the graphic... not as what I was expect earlier, it just like normal...

what do u mean seems like not enuff for the spec? lappy's spec can't support??

Why cannot?U have an ATIX1400..and 2GB of system memory.And also a dual core C2D mobile.

donno, maybe I left out something which I never did, and my Windows Experience Index is just 2.0 only...

how can this be?
mine lower specs compared with yours also scored better..
The difference between yours and mine :
1 GB RAM
T5300 C2D 1.66GHz
the rest same..

ya... that is why I was wondering...
or is it something needed to be done 1st?
by the time I got my lappie, I did not do anything on the graphic card, just leave it by default...

Vista runs pretty slowly on my 6400 ever since I upgraded to it from XP. And I'm running 2GB of ram etc.....Since that, I have downgraded back to XP.

My bro's new acer laptop running natively on Vista runs so much faster, I don't get it, plus our specs are so similar.

Maybe there is a difference when the laptop is either configured for XP or Vista natively, I don't know.

hmm..which part has ur lowest score in it? supposely with ur specs..shouldn't be a prob rite?

teikwing, overall performance... i forget which part d as this has been quite some times and I did not check it recently... maybe tonight I will check and see again...

I can get 3.7 in there u know?WHy yours so low?

I really got no idea how can it be...

Ya..mine is 3.7 too..the lowest being graphics and gaming...lol..

Anyway...wanna ask u guys here...I just reformatted my C drive..and reinstalled windows with the Dell OS DVD...then there is a problem with my bluetooth adaptor..i dunno if its cos it clashes with windows installation? I installed the latest drivers from the DELL website...but a warning message keeps popping up saying that the software doesnt have a digital cert...and i clicked "install anyway" cos it is from the DELL website...so should be safe...but somehow..it doesnt want to continue installation? The warning message keeps popping up?

What I want to know now is, can u guys teach me how to fully uninstall the bluetooth software and reinstall it so that hopefully everything is back to normal? which software in the dell website should i download? Thanks

Maybe u enable power sawing mode izzit?SO causing ur system performs slower?

hmm..which bluetooth driver u installed? tried the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack? the most stable one i've used so far. try to some System Restore or manually uninstall from Control Panel.

can get the bluetooth driver from Dell Support website if not mistaken. good luck.

btw guys..just upgraded to Mushkin's 2 X 1GB DDR2 667Mhz. feel like no difference with 1GB when using XP. anyone got experience with this brand?

Previously..u also using 1GB of system memory?

EDIT : 2GB shows significant difference compared to 1GB when doing video editing,converting & pictures editing. it's much faster too when doing system checkup. last time when on 1GB, RAM usage will till 80+% with Winamp,uTorrent,Firefox,Vista Sidebar,ObjectDock,MSN etc. but now, max only 55%. tested with both XP & Vista & happy with it.

Sure..more system memory meanz more task..higher clock speed meanz faster.

Guys,
let say i wanna change my memory
err...change it to new RAM manufactured, what is the best nowadays?

go for either Corsair or Mushkin. Kingston is the most normal one nowadays. 1GB is like so cheap nowadays. just upgraded mine yesterday.

im getting a 3.8..
