yea compatible...dell have updated a newer driver oledi...
but somehow the new driver has less settings compared to old one...powermizer n screen color settings are gone

as far as i know...Dell didn't provide any cover for the battery "hole"...

It probably means that the network card can turn the computer on if there is any network activity... That setting actually made my old desktop turn on and off at will, kinda scary...

Erm,ok,thanks.

dissappointed to hear that ... my old dell 4150 has a blank module casing to cover up the "hole"

Got a call yesterday morning from dell delivery, they said they will be delivering my xps on tuesday instead... that's today

congrats...congrats...
it should arrived latest by this evening...
maybe could give a call to Dell asking if they provide any casing cover for the battery part...

how do they name the version of the driver ar??
how come newer one has a lower value? 94.22
while the older one has a higher value? 97.46
should i install it eh?
i got 3.4 for gaming graphics and 3.7 for graphics currently...
scared later drop after installing the newer version....
coz maybe it's juz compatible with vista, but not optimum and maybe that's why they didn't list it under the vista os?

mine is 3.4 for gaming n 3.6 for aero...i dun think it makes lotsa diff la...my fren using intel media accelerator one having score at 3.1 oso almost same performance as mine in terms of aero smoothiness...wont differ much unless u having an ATI X1600...lolz

wanna ask ur nvidia control panel still got powermizer n TV settings onot? after installing vista the control panel driver i upgraded only hav 2 types of settings duno why

yealor... not much settings...
wan set like overlay, can let other ppl watch movie on the tv and me continue doing my stuff.... but cannot.... can make two screens though, but a bit mafan....

kwws u get 3.6 is because of the hard disk u're using. i think it's a toshiba which has a slightly lower speed i guess. u get 4.3 for hard disk rite? if yes then i guess it's a toshiba.....

the replacement unit i got is using toshiba hard disk and i got 3.6 for graphics also... but after swapping the hard disk with a hitachi that has 4.4, the graphics rating rose to 3.7....

Added on May 9, 2007, 1:12 amWell, I've checked around, and it seems that Coolbits (or NVTweak/NVTray, as it is called now) can enable the hidden OC component in Dell's drivers... I wonder if it can work under Vista... I'll check that out and report in later...

On another note, about the Total Satisfaction policy related claim I did a few weeks ago, the cheque came in already (actually, it came in nearly a week ago, only I didn't notice... )...

It's for the price difference between the M1210 when I bought it (free delivery), and when it had the 2GB RAM + DVD Burner promo about a week later...

For all the crap that Dell sometimes gives us, who else refunds your money when the lappy you just bought becomes cheaper a week after buying it? Excellent psychological tactic right there, go Dell customer service!

If only they can buff up the design, quality assurance and on-site service departments as well, they'd be perfect...

Here's the cheque...



That's total satisfaction for you...

Got my xps already!! So far, I'm loving it. the build quality is surprisingly quite solid... i was expecting it to be flimsy like fujitsu 12" lifebook. The keyboard and touchpad are quite comfy to use.... just like my old dell 4150. 1 thing i notice tho is the xps gets heated up quite fast. Well.. i'll give a lengthy updates once i use this baby more

Welcome to the club then... Adding your name frontpage...

in terms of color saturation it performed well i believed so...lastime i asked for replacement unit i swap the old yellowish lcd with the new one which has cooler colors...some good XPS lcds are kinda yellowish...can change the color settings in nvidia control panel one...i changed become nicer b4...but such setting not available on vista yet

What are you doing to make ur GC to hit 101C temperature? I played the heavy graphic games like Supreme Commander or C&C3 for few hours, the most I've hit is 81C temperature.

lol..i just run 3Dmark06 benchmark..even my GC on idle its already 81C..play BF2 will hit 101C also..something wrong with the GPU or fan or heatsink..cause previously i had change twice mobo..

anyway do benchmark ur 7400 with 3Dmark06,i would like to know the marks you get..

just noticed that you change to Vista Ultimate...how's the changes goes with Vista?
what do you mean can "change the color settings" in nVidia control panel?
is the yellowish thingy or other color thingy?

erksss?...are you boiling something on XPS?...
that is sooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooootttt....
yups...better call Dell...

yups...mine,highest around 70++C...
