QUOTE(justinSS2 @ Jul 22 2007, 10:48 PM) has anyone using this lappy with windows xp? i'm an avid xp user and wish to continue using it till vista is mature/stable ( hardware's driver issue ). thanks in advance. QUOTE(tslim2531 @ Jul 22 2007, 11:36 PM) I am the one who immediately format my 1520 and install XP PRO into my laptop. Initially getting drivers problems, but all solved thanks to all answers I got from LYN, You can sourced back the questions that I asked and those useful answers from the thread "Dell New model Vortro,1520,1720,1521,1721 updated ". Hopefully you will enjoy using the laptop with XP!! Seriously, I don't have any drivers problem until now. As for game, I just installed CnC3 and it works like a charm. I have no problem with Vista, wait maybe there's, but just a minor one, so far so good. |

Hey guys, apparently the irritating "ringing" noise is not just confined to Dell, but other brands as well. Seems it's a Core 2 Duo problem:
http://www.dignews.com/preview.php?story_id=24171 Added on July 25, 2007, 12:56 amAlso, was anyone able to choose their sound card? When i try to configure the inspiron 1520 there's no category for sound card.. But in the US website you're able to customize the sound card..

Btw, I'm thinking to get a cooler pad for my 1520, the temperature rises a lot from my 8600m GT when playing game (CnC3). |

Wait I get my hand on some temperature monitoring software. This is my second laptop and I din get to play my first one before it got stolen. Wait til I come back from my class before letting you know the answer can u verify this?  |

I've hit a major problem....during the first week when I was using my 1520, it can detect any wireless networks instantly. Now after booting up windows Vista, it takes about 45mins - 1 hr before it can detect any wireless networks. What gives?

I also upgraded the Wireless controller to support Wireless N too.
Hope that doesn't create any compatibility issue since it does support other modes. |

Enhancement the coverage and directivity is what I need when there's no streamyx back in my house at my hometown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11 I think Wireless is enhancing currently WLAN A/B/G with MIMO capability (antenna coverage/directivity).  |
