QUOTE(Eiraku @ May 7 2007, 08:26 PM) 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.  |

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....

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

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. |

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ May 9 2007, 04:38 PM) OMG i run 3dmark06 & i got 204 marks only...omg..wth..my fps is like 0~1 204 points? Now that's a problem... I haven't had the time to d'load 3DMark06 yet, but Notebookcheck.com's posting 800++ 3DMark06 points for a C2D 2GHz M1210... Even taking into account that they're probably running XP, Vista should be around 600 points, minimum... any of you guys test your 7400 before..& my temp shot up to 101C..siao..i will call DELL..so "dell" la.. and need to change which setting to make it looks cooler..?  And with the temp up to 101C? Thats definitely a problem... The hottest it goes when playing games for me is about 70-80, I think (I dunno how to check the GC temp while playing games, just put my hand next to the vent when playing)... The air coming out is hot, but never enough to burn my hand (101 degrees is definitely enuff to burn my hand somewhat)... Call Dell... They might have screwed the GC heatsink or something... How the heck do you check the GC Temp while playing anyway, I've been wondering that for a while now... On another note, I'm probably gonna go to Lowyat tomorrow to check up prices on a few things, namely Razer's Krait and Logitech's V400 mice (my mouse's still working fine, but both these mice look really tempting); Zalman's ZM-NC1000 and CM's CoolPal P1 notebook cooler; and a few other stuff... And I also found out that you can get NOD32 antivirus at a student rate of RM74... That's a heck of a deal for one of the best AVs out there (Kapersky level detection, even lower system load)... So many things to buy, so little money in my pocket...  Added on May 9, 2007, 11:53 pm QUOTE(ahchew @ May 9 2007, 11:49 PM) XPS owner reporting here... Welcome mate!
