haha...
i have a friend who doesnt play game, but likes overclocking and stuffs like that.... LoL...

well at least thats a lil faster than what's estimated in the website hehe...well i'll mess with the settings alright...dun mind bumping down reso if can see pretty effects hehe...btw...can this gpu play cnc3?...i hear can play at med settings...and the dedicated memory confirm 64mb?...i read all over the place and some says its 128mb dedicated..pretty noob with this things hehe

hi, xps user here. any brother or sister here ever played Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars with xps ? i wonder can play with xps or not with Go7400.

should be able to play C&C3 with 7400.... i have a friend with 7400 who has finished the game using sony vaio sz series though....

It's 64MB dedicated, up to 192MB Turbocache (dynamic shared memory) which means you can have up to 256MB video memory, depending on your needs... That's why you should get as much memory as you can (well, you already get 2GB for free if you order now, so it doesn't cost you one cent = as 2GB is currently the sweet spot for memory)...

And you can play C&C fine at medium, 1280x800 resolution... Nothing slows down too much...

Keep in mind that I'm on Vista... XP users have better nVidia drivers, so expect faster graphics...

unless s u got the moola and buy 2GB x1 ram sticks that would make it 3gb

And that would stop the double data rate thingy...

hmm...funny i read the forums on notebookreview about that card and some say it's 128 dedicated..oh well dun care hehe

lol the free 2gb ram is the 3699 one...but if i select the 2999 one and add in 2gb ram with the built in webcam the price is like 3650+...so the promotion kinda pointless.

The performance increase is marginal. Not much of a point for laptop owners to really worry about their RAM running in dual channel.

For dualchannel, it only good if your machine is equiped with GMA950 or those intergrated graphics chip. User will notice a big boost if got dualchannel ram. But if using any good gc, user won't notice any performance hit eventhough it is not in dualchannel. So don't worry

wow i didnt know that...............eh then how do we identify what is the "built in" ram?? i turn at the back got one slot empty...what happen to the other slot?? wanna identify what chip is that

Well, you don't need IDENTICALLY identical SODIMMs... As long as its both the same capacity and the same speed (533MHz, 667MHz), you'll be fine...

And the other slot is located deep inside your M1210, behind the keyboard... The instructions are included in your manual, IF you wanna try...

But as the others have said, it seems that dual channel's not really increasing performance by much... Hmm... Gotta go research on that...

thanks guys for the reply

what thingy again? DDR is double data rate thingy. you run single channel, dual channel, you still have the thingy going on

yea, rite... any data to back that up?

ok. just to make it clear - dual channel is OVERRATED. only in benchmark you can see the speed gain from DC over SC. or in some rare cases, during loading of an ultra-huge map to play BF2 or the kind.

and NO. it won't make your crappy GMA950 run any faster. GMA950 is for basic applications. no 3d. no game. even quad channel won't help. enuf said.

the xps screen size is jus 12inch...is it big enough for gaming or wathing movie??

It's a matter of getting used to it. I'm playing Guild Wars and Dawn of War on my XPS

to me not big enough for anything accept msn or firefox.....i am using it combo with a 19" lcd monitor....drag un necessary things onto this xps screen easier..

thx for clarifying the ram....might wanna get one 2gb stick soon....

hey there ya'll,

Is anyone suffering from the same problem that i'm facing now which is that i can't seem to play ANY and i repeat...ANY games on my XPS M1210 . Is there some driver that i need to install?

no ark i dont have that problem....maybe u provide us your specs?? ram, processor + GC ?? the pros here might be able to help.....

u got direct x9 ?? thats like basic requirement lo

Ok... First, what Windows are you running? Second, what games is it that you seem to not be able to play?

If you're running Vista there's a few games that just wont run...
