@sotong, care to send the link to me, where u can see refurbished units of dell lappies. such good spec at 4k, cant believe that!

haha. wont call la. i'm still using my C1D currently.
how come there so many buyers who are not satisfied with their order, then return back their order, and hence, we have refurbished units.

at 1.4k? are u serious?

guys, i really need your favour here.
how do i install the diagnostic partition back into my hdd? its about 44mb. last time calvin posted a link, the link never say how to install back the partition. thanks ya'll

i cant, and i dont know why. i did download an "iso" file from dell's website, burn it into cd, and tried to run it, but couldnt. it says "couldnt find the diagnostic partition". thats why i posted this question. if anyone has got any experience regarding this, do tell me please. thanks

hey guys, anyone knows how to mount back the "diagnostics" thingy back into the hdd? thanks

today's dell offer, they are doubling the ram, 2x1gb ram! Phew!
ram prices really drop that drastic, huh?

what do you mean by "good" hdd?
notebook size hdd, 2.5", is now available in 160gb in the market, cost a bit expensive though. for desktop size, 3.5", you have to get a casing for the hdd.
its all up to the individual's preference.

this is the response i got from some lowyat shops:
"performance wise, take hitachi. want longer warranty, take seagate (5years). western d is like.. middle"
no one seem to mention about maxtor or samsung though

ask you guys a simple question, will you guys buy one 160gb 2.5" or get 3.5" with casing and get more capacity?

i would suggest a pata 5400rpm. main purpose is to store data only right? a 2.5" casing is not that expensive. get good ones, for eg the vantec one cost about rm50-ish. my college mate bought a 120gb with vantec, rm300. i'm not sure about cooler master though. anyway, u can check the pdf price lists to get the latest price.

calvin, u download dell drivers for vista from dell's support website ya? so far so good? last time i saw my friend's pc, his ram idle usage is about 600mb. what about yours then?

current spec is 512mb ram. given a choice, will you get another 512mb to do dual channel OR get 1gb to have 1.5gb.

em, is 1.5gb sufficient for vista? thanks

1st question, i'm not sure, mine with xp
2nd, mine is hitachi

i thought this forumer is selling desktop rams?
anyone knows the current price for sodimm 1gb ddr2 ram?

fellas, i have a funny situation here.

i'm using bitcomet for my torrenting. my idle usage would be around 500/1000mb ram. after i leave my comp switched on, say 2-3hours, my idle usage left about 200/1000mb. my bitcomet tends to "eat" up my resources. this makes my comp a bit lag when i tried to open up other programs. all i have to do is reset my bitcomet, and its back to normal.
i've checked with a friend of mine, he torrents 24/7 and his bitcomet program is running fine, unlike mine (both using the same version). any opinions regarding this?

P/s i'm asking here 'cause i'm experiencing this situation with my laptop.

i cant use utorrent without port forwarding, i dunno why.
and i cant port forward, cause i'm sharing the line with other ppl.
i guess i'll try with the new version then. but i like the old version more, the interface looks better and easier to handle.

what if some parts or components crashed? and they dont have new supplies, but they have "re-conditioned" or rather used supplies. will they change old parts for you?

kinda worried, 'cause i'm considered from the old batch, using coreduo.

ahha! smart move there. there might be core3duo or sth right? haha

its like owning... a putra today. no more in production, but its a hell of a car.
haha sorry for my bubbling here. just kinda sad that dell wont produce 6400 anymore.

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
