wow. you skinned your laptop. how much does it cost u?

Just bought the skin at Penang PC FAIR at RM 38.

that's a bargain. does it include screen protector?

Nope, just the skin. And the palm protector is bought at RM22 (Dont know whether it is worth it or not....)

Anyone here with 8600M GT plays CnC3? May I see the settings and the screenshot please?

mm... palm protector does sound a little overpriced.. what kind of protection does the palm protector offer? scratch prevention or thermal barrier (when hdd or system gets hot you wont feel it)?

does anyone has the grainy LCD problem ? I heard some say the LCD look grainy

That sounded a little weird. Have you confirmed that your burning procedures are correct? What software are you using? Have you tried on DVDR yet?

I read that over notebookreview.com. Many people (not all) complains that the screen looks grainy and a few had issues with lighting leak.

Other than that, this person (matt_h1) at this thread complains about failed DVD drive.

Can anyone who owns 1520 confirm this? This laptop has great spec at an unbelievable price. matt_h1's 3DMark06 benchmark is also amazing. But the above issues made me think twice before buying it.

Dell Inspiron 1520
8600 M gt 256MB GDDR2

Graphics Memory Interface 128-bit


Dell Graphic Card Recommendation

This lists the
Graphics Memory Bandwidth 22.4Gbyte


GDDR2 run on 400Mhz
Graphics Memory Bandwidth = 2x400MHzx(128bit /8)byte = 12.8Gbyte

GDDR3 run on 700Mhz
Graphics Memory Bandwidth = 2x700Mhzx(128bit /8)byte = 22.4Gbyte



Refer to Dell Community Forum


So should Dell give us 8600 M gt 256MB GDDR3 ??????????????

dell only gives ddr2 for the 8600gt, hence the price difference with asus g1s/macbookpro15"

but since they said graphics memory bandwidth is 22.4, i think we can sue them for false advertising

wat we need to do 1st ? phone call?

this is dell's mistake. even if u call them they will just tell u they are sorry and in the terms and conditions has been stated that dell reserve the right to bla bla bla..

they should get the facts right before making such ad.

Just the 'Learn more' button show error on the GDDR3 , all listed as GDDR2 at the main site on Malaysia Dell.No use calling Dell , you can't get rebate since only one page they display wrongly is the bandwidth.

yeah and my sales agent specifically told me it was gddr2 >.<
