QUOTE(steventan85 @ Apr 11 2007, 07:14 PM) ok , Truelife LCD , ATi X1400 , C2D T5500 or T5600 is a must when getting a Dell 6400 if u budget is high... 2gb RAM from Dell is not advisable bcoz the price price from outside market is only cost Rm360-380 while upgrading through cost more than Rm600++ so i advice u getting 1gb(512mb x 2 ) and then keep it in ur storeroom and buy another 2sticks of 1gb RAM ... Other stuff u mentioned is very gd d... for processor , if ur budget is high , then opt for T7200 but since u r doing normal office stuff and movie , T5600 is more than enuf d... ok dude,. thanks.. about the ram? its only rm200 per stick of 1gb ?/ wow.. |

Ok guys, I haven't used a laptop / notebook before. Never. I plan to get one in conjunction with DiGI EDGE for wireless broadband. Dell Inspiron 6400 is one of models I'm looking at. However, the DiGI Edge faq http://www.digi.com.my/data_services/gprs/...b_faq.do?page=1 states: "An EDGE PC card is a PCMCIA card which allows laptop users to work efficiently and effectively when they are on the move or out of the office." The Dell Inspiron 6400 tech spec http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/p...dhs1&l=en&s=dhs says: "Express Card Connectors: One ExpressCard slot 54mm 1.5 V and 3.3 V Please note that this model does not support the older PCMCIA Interface." I'm confused, does this mean the 6400 can't use the DiGi Edge data card? |

Added on April 12, 2007, 9:56 pmQUOTE(darrencw @ Apr 11 2007, 02:22 PM) After installing the latest driver,my laptop reverts back to default drivers.When i wanna install the x1300 driver it says incompatible.Now my lappy cannot view nicely.Please helpp~~ QUOTE(tplcaik @ Apr 12 2007, 03:26 PM) U using vista OR win xp? The driver u downloaded from web is for xp 1.
I would assume that your using Windows XP home/pro (unless your running on xp media) because your using ati X1300. Dell only provide ATI X1400 onwards for windows vista. you could get it manually from here http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.htmlor from dell http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloa...6&fileid=171079This post has been edited by utopian86: Apr 12 2007, 09:56 PM |
