ok , alright ...might be my fault...but dual channel only improve + - 10% only ....

i dun really think that 1.5gb ram will lose to 1gb dual channel ram , am i rite ?   laugh.gif  laugh.gif

running higher capacity ram is better than running 512mb ram x 2 .....
*

NoNo..you wrong..last time model dual channel juz can run in 512MBX2,or same size.Nowadays board,can put 512MB+256MB,or 1GB+512 togther run in dual channel.Its intel inovative technology.If dont trust go see intel website.It begin since the 945 chipset.

isn't it vista can create partition in disk management...something to do wif shrink ur c: then create new partiton wif the unpartitoned size that u shrunk....
to confirm..better wait for other pro to reply...i jus saw this in some forum so not sure work onot... hmm.gif
*

Since the 1st time u dun partioned it,the second time ur only1 partiton cant be extend anymore unless u format. :cool2:Or the 1st time u create 1 partiotn,and another part haven be partioned..then u might can do like that.

Actually last time i bought my lappy also double ram promotion.haha laugh.gif I rather get free ram upgrade than get DVD-RW upgrade.Becuz ram might cost about rm200+ for another 512MB module.While DVD-RW upgrade juz RM80+(not sure,correct me,but im sure is cheaper than a 512MB DD2 module)

just wanna ask what u guys think..i normally d/l torrent and then go to sleep..but when i sleep i will flip my laptop facing down (terbalik) so the air down there will be easier to flow..

so do u guys think this action will cause any harm to my laptop?
*

Better dont..ur lappy organism is design for mobility.No for heavy duty usage..althought u terbalik it..then heat desipate still will not so good.Shorten ur hardware lifespan.

i think he said 2gb jz now..

anyway if its 667mhz rite, but the processor is 533...so it wont work at 667?
*

Maybe his 667 will run @ 533 since the Processor is 533 FSB.

Hello guys.

im really upset with my Inspiron 6400 now.

ive been using pc for almost 10 years now
ok, this is my first purchase of Core 2 Duo[1.7gz 533mhz] laptop. [previously owned a Intel Centrino 1.6gz]

i order with Vista + 1GB Ram / Ati x1400

when i first receive from the package. it was all new and stuff
i boot it up.. and load up to Vista but it was stuck for loading like more then 30 minutes.
then rebooted again, and same thing keeps happening.
well i got pissed, i formated it
then i install WinXP Pro sp2

everything was fine.
but the thing i notice.

my 6400. always have LAG SPIKE in running anything.
even normal window explorer opening folders sure got LAG SPIKE. [ formated twice winxp. same thing]

i can say my old centrino runs even faster and smoother then my new 6400 with core2duo

now this is really pissing me off already.. its worst then any other pc/laptop i owned.

can be this unit be FAULTY?

or do you guys get constant lag spike with core2duo?

sigh.. help sad.gif
*

That fact becuz many of preload software makes ur lappy lag like shit.Me also..last time my 1st time open the lappy.The dell installed many rubbish things to me..like Macafee..and many of rubbish stuff.Then i format it again and install back AVG,becuz AVG will more save resources than Macafee.
