wah!...congrats...congrats...
erksss...cheque reached your home last week,but you didn't noticed?
guess...you're still busy with your exams that time...
so,planned already what to use for the amount of money?

welcome to the club...
do share with us,your reviews and feedback about your XPS...

weird..when i compare my xps lcd with my samsung lcd...when on white color display for both lcd panel I had compare them both..i notice the xps look alittle yellowish,while the samsung is real white..how come the xps look alittle yellowish?

something wrong ah?

mine oso abit yellowish...actually tats normal la...its just the colors appear warmer
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

OMG i run 3dmark06 & i got 204 marks only...omg..wth..my fps is like 0~1

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..?

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...

XPS owner reporting here...

Don't mind i copy the nice usedbar from "Eiraku", "unknowndevices" and also from others....

Nice to meet you all and this is a nice thread

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...

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...

one of our fren here says his LCD yellowish color so i try to enlighten him
but im not sure my LCD is truly yellowish onot...only when i compare with other ppl's LCD then i see the difference...lol...not to say yellowish, jus tat the colors are warmer, the black colors in my LCD somehow is darker...more saturated
but heck so far my LCD is in tip top condition...good colors, no leakage

generally vista is good...u need to work out with the tweaking of the 3D settings for ur nvidia awhile to master it...sometimes when settings are not in good mode, the animation of Aero lags abit more...overall still ok...hehe

i will try to help out if anyone having problem optimising the aero effects of vista

I'll try...

this compliment should goes for Eiraku...he's the one doing it...
yeah!...welcome to the club...
guess...you did have a nice specs of XPS...and currently you're the only one with HDD@160gb(correct if im wronged )...

wah!...Eiraku would be going for shopping at Lowyat tomorrow...
who wanna accompany him...make sure you prepared your pockets with money...
do update us if there's any promotions or good deals on PC stuff...

yeah!...Eiraku don't forget to check for our friend here...if you're not in hurry...

wah!...looking forward for your good jobs and any reviews/feedbacks about Vista to share?...

Cant u use Alt + Tab ? (assuming u have Nvtemplogger or Rivatuner; temp display on desktop for Nvtemplogger or temp display in either barchart or textvalue for Rivatuner on the system tray) u can see the temp shows on the system tray.. if u use Rivatuner i think u can record ur temp so after u finish or exit ur game u can see back the history how hot ur GC went during ur gaming.. usually right after gaming the temp will display the best range of temp while ur gaming.. in other word just after 2-3 hours of gaming when u exit see the temp on the system tray and thats basically ur GC temp while gaming..

i hope this help..

I'll add more if there's a need for how-to use Rivatuner.. If not im assuming we all somehow know..

Im more an ATITool guy, but thanks... I'll try using both..

will call them after I had finish downloading my drama,i don want my hdd incase get screwed up..then my 17.88GB drama will gone..haha

Oh i see, sorry i was assuming XPS m1210 using nVidia card.. but the new Rivatuner v2.01 works with ATI.. but thats something i still couldnt figure out.. since my card is not ATi..


I'll check on for ATi later on.. if anyone needs help about Rivatuner, i'll do step-by-step tutorial by request.. and the fastest i can post for it will be tomorrow afternoon.. i mean today's afternoon by today's date.. It's not that hard but if u never used it before u might not be able to make it appears on the system tray.. so..

and of course its all freeware.. im here to share .. not to sell..

Added on May 10, 2007, 2:24 amare u sending it to depot? if u do it is always a good idea to format ur system before let anybody touches ur pc.. for security and privacy purposes.. unless all u have is nothing important. good luck to u..

Well actually, ATiTool can check (and OC) Nvidia cards too (even in Vista, that's the + point)... But just post the Rivatuner tut when you're not busy, and we'll have the first how to for this thread!

I'm using NVIDIA nTune to monitor the status of my GeForce Go 7400 graphic card on my XPS. It can also monitor the RPM of the fan, its quite usefull. It integrated with the nVidia Control Panel software.

Visit this website to download:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.25.00.html

I have no 3DMark software yet, I will see if I can download it and benchmark my XPS. I kind of wonder what is the score .

if completed the 3dmark06 then post here can? i also curious about XPS with 7400..
