QUOTE(minghao @ Jul 15 2007, 02:40 PM) Thanks!They will take back my old battery? yup. they will take the old one back in exchange for a new one. whenever Dell services or do parts replacement for ur laptop..they will take back the faulty parts. that's what happened in my case. |

QUOTE(oyama @ Aug 4 2007, 10:39 AM) hello guys.. ur current configuration is 2 x 512MB or 1 x 1GB? there would be no problem running on different brands of RAM. but if want them to run on dual-channel effectively (let's say 2 x 512MB or 2 x 1GB)..it is recommended to get RAMs with same brand, frequency & speed. my lappie using Windows Xp now.. i want to change to vista ultimate.. but my RAM 1gb.. i juz want to add my RAM to make things smoothly.. if i use kingston RAM instead of DELL RAM..is it ok? |

QUOTE(oyama @ Aug 4 2007, 10:13 PM) hmm..my RAM 2 X 512MB.. juz tink i plug out one of it..n add another 1 gb RAM.. take 1 512MB out & replace it with 1GB should be no problem.if in that case.. may i know..wat is the speed for DELL laptop RAM? DDR2 533Mhz? or DDR2 677Mhz? which speed u chose when u bought ur laptop? by default should be 533Mhz unless u upgraded it during ur purchase. try to look at ur Dell purchase invoice. or u can try to download CPU-Z from here : CPU-Z can use the software to check the RAM's speed and gain detailed info about ur laptop. RAM Frequencies : 267Mhz = 533Mhz 332.5Mhz = 667Mhz read more about RAM from here : RAM Handbook This post has been edited by teikwing: Aug 5 2007, 02:46 AM |

QUOTE(tutiger @ Aug 6 2007, 01:42 PM) Long time no chat people until the laptop freezes? man..that's serious. mine didn't have cooler also running normal. used BIOS to control fans & I8kfan only to monitor the temp. tried calling Dell?Well lately I have been bugged with a hot lappie. Although I have a laptop cooler, I needed to run the i8kfan to cool down the processor. But I wonder why the BIOS won't auto start the fan, until the PC freezes leh |

QUOTE(utopian86 @ Aug 7 2007, 11:33 PM) I'm just worried about ur GC. other specs are fine. nero,acdsee,msn all are vista support yup. that's what i'm worried about. later bought for few hundred bucks dy laptop laggy can't support. anyway..although 2GB RAM is recommended, is 1GB sufficient enough? btw, anyone know how much does dell remote control cost? does it use bluetooth? cause our pc doesnt have bluetooth, http://support.ap.dell.com/support/topics/...D5&doclang=en#1 the remote looks nice. is it available in malaysia? some of our laptop comes with bluetooth rite? EDIT : i tink the remote needs laptop with IR port. our 6400 doesn't have it. This post has been edited by teikwing: Aug 8 2007, 01:02 AM |

QUOTE(utopian86 @ Aug 8 2007, 09:50 AM) 1gb is the min requirement for vista so u shouldnt have any problem. sure? i heard like its 2GB. craving for Flip3D & Dreamscene. but sure my Intel GMA would be dead.  Yes, the remote is available in malaysia. It comes free with the new purchase of inspiron. that the IR port, thats what i'm afraid of. Most of us have buildin bluetooth but no IR. I never saw inspiron comes with IR.  wow..means the remote is free with 1420,1520? maybe have to get an external IR thingie?? |

QUOTE(calvin_gsc @ Aug 12 2007, 01:00 AM) C2D can support 32bit and 64bit. means when buying Vista..i should go for the 32bit version only? thanks for the info. Core Duo only 32bit only. currently how much does Vista Ultimate & Home Premium retail? is it possible to get OEM version from Dell (w/o buying a new PC) or from shops? |

QUOTE(hcbing @ Aug 24 2007, 07:29 PM) Hi peepz...got a very quick and very basic question here (can't find it anywhere in the thread). i'm not sure but i'm on 1280x800 on my lappy now & tried running on same resolution on a LCD projector but failed. the sides are cropped & screen not able to project fully. it only chose to run on 800x600.Got a 6400 15.4" 1280x800 native running X1300 on Windows XP Pro. Thinking of doing dual monitor with LCD panel 1680x1050 native. Will I be able to run 1280x800 AND 1680x1050 simultaneously or izzit gonna be 1280x800 both sides? Thanks and cheers! p/s : guys..planning to install/dual-boot Vista on my lappy. do i need to download latest drivers for Vista from Dell after i've installed it or continue using those originally given? will some be incompatible? |

QUOTE(popiah04 @ Aug 25 2007, 12:05 PM) guys, this might be off topic, but i just wanna ask, what webcams do u guys use for I6400 and how much? i see that teikwing is using a v-gear. how is it? what sort of features that it has? thanks QUOTE(swanchew @ Aug 25 2007, 01:09 PM) Recommended to get the latest driver.Updating your latest driver such as wifi is worth because you will get a wider range of wireless signal. @popiah04 : currently is the best webcam i ever used so far. very sharp&crisp image. not sure about other brands like Logitech tho. bought it around RM175 @ last year's August PC Fair. You still can use the older driver if you are too lazy to download. @swanchew : means some old drivers are Vista-compatible? |
