You can also use it yo view your battery info. Here's mine with my 6 cell battery. Check out the stats/info.

I highly recommend this program because it is really small, simple to use and also very convenient for me.

NHC has this function, but I don't need the other stuff, and I find NHC slow at startup. This on the other hand is just great!

To get it, you can go to http://www.snapfiles.com/get/Notebook-BatteryInfo.html

or just get it from here. I uploaded it.

Want to ask, can i use ram with different speeds and sizes? What brand ram known to work with 6400 no prob?
*
Yes they can!

Any brand would work......

But it's best that you get both of the similar speed and size. To utilize the dual channel function!

didnt know their service improved so much..

4 years ago i had an inspiron 5150 or something cant remember the model..
took 3 weeks to arrive..

btw, the motherboard for all inspiron 6400 is the same right?
im worried if they giv me 533mhz then next time i cant add 667 mhz ram type.

Added on April 14, 2007, 12:00 amand howcome im seeing people using dell 6400 with 15.4" WSXGA TFT TrueLife with 1680 x 1050??? howcome i cant find that option on the website???

Added on April 14, 2007, 12:00 amworth it for me to change from 1440x900 to 15.4" WSXGA TFT TrueLife with 1680 x 1050 if there is an option?

Added on April 14, 2007, 12:03 ambtw, does inspiron 6400 have a 5 in 1 card reader built in?
*
The current all 6400 models will support 667MHz rams. Only in the past the 6000 model supports up to 533MHz only.

I am using 1280x800 truelife only. I think tis resolution is prefect! laugh.gif

If you go for higher resolutions, your desktop and all will look really really small. You wont be used to it.

These resolutions are best for graphic designers.

Are you on windows XP?

If you are, try installing http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php

Remove your old ati driver before doing so.

Hey ppl
6400 can use bitcomet?
I tried installing it after that it will never launch the program. i ever tried to install a few older version and none works. After i restore back to original setting also cant use. I'm using utorrent atm.
*
I have both bitcomet and utorrent on my computer.

Both working fine.

Maybe there's something wrong with your registry. Need to clean it up using some utility.

try getting RegscrubXP.

Well, maybe he just wants to ensure that you dont waste your money and may spoil your laptop. Or on the other hand, he wants you to get the ram from dell. :-p

Gosh, rams are cheaper by RM100 compared to the time when i got them.

yeay!

I've ordered a inspiron 6400 today..

c2duo 1.83 ghz
512x2 ddr2 533mhz
100gb 7200rpm sata
vista home premium
x1400 256mb
15.4 1440x900 truelife
3years completecover
dvd burner
a bag?
a printer 926 or something

rm4270

i went over to another shop to get 2x1024mb ddr 667 for rm330.
so altogether about rm4600
wana ask u guys.. if i put the new 2gb kingston to my 6400 right..it wont void my warranty right? as long as i put back the old original ram into the unit when i call dell..
*
Yes, what you said is true.

No problem.

But if really got problem, try not to tell dell that you fitted your own 2GB rams, later they blame the 2GB of ram.

When they fix your laptop, quickly put back your original 512MB x 2 configuration.

Configure a Dell 6400 now with True Life and you will notice the price has dropped a lot.

And it's best that you get it now during PC Fair promotions.

I think any bios upgrade is not noticeable at all. The changes are too abstract for us no notice it. icon_idea.gif
