QUOTE(Gaza @ Aug 21 2007, 12:18 AM) Yup i heard riva tuner doesn't give correct memory details for laptop GPUs as well. And hao, do you mean when you press the laptop at that area, there's an area that doesn't flex while the rest of the area around it flexes? Yeap! QUOTE(dzi921 @ Aug 21 2007, 09:40 AM) I think is some minor cosmetic problem. No harm done  Anyway, one question, how do you guys clean the keyboard (especially the things stuck underneath it)
Added on August 21, 2007, 9:42 amI think the colour of the interior won't last long. Either the colour will fade or gets dirty very fast  Miscalculation of the hardware dimension? lol |

QUOTE(coolermistress @ Aug 30 2007, 05:12 PM) Thanks for the link.  Where do you download the driver btw? Do you download it at Dell website? Or do you used the so called 'modified inf' version? Interested in increasing my 3dmark oso  laptopvideo2go.com Have to use the mod inf file if not it doesn't recognize mobile graphic card. |

QUOTE(coolermistress @ Aug 30 2007, 05:30 PM) Thanks, can't wait to see if my 3dmark score can go up or not. Maybe after this can beat my bros laptop in all 3 benchmarks! Good luck, but I guess the score is around the same. |

QUOTE(Lance8431 @ Aug 30 2007, 09:11 PM) hao, the 163.44 driver u put here right, i either get the message it says my vista is not 32 bit (but my vista IS 32bit O.o) or say the software cant detect the driver to install, can you please assist me in this?

QUOTE(Lance8431 @ Sep 1 2007, 01:39 AM) how arh?  sry, noob at here Haha, no problem, anyone is a noob before. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index....showtopic=14562So i assume you want to try 163.44 and you are using Vista 32bit now. Download the driver from the link I provided and modded INF. Extract the driver you've downloaded. So now you have a folder, what you need to do is just to copy and paste the modded INF into the folder to replace the existing file. Go into the folder, and click the setup file, the rest you should know what to do  |

QUOTE(Lance8431 @ Sep 3 2007, 02:16 PM) hao, about the 163.44 version graphics update for geforce8600 i still facing the same problem after see the link u give me. not compatible or it says my windows is not 32bit  finish google out but cant find any solution yet  by the way, after i reformatted my vista and change the partition and stuffs, i notice the blue tooth function was not included in the drivers. how did you guys turn it on after reformat your laptop? please do let me know k. thanks  Even after you replaced the original INF file with the modded INF file? Hmmmm... I think it's the driver problem since it's still in beta. No problem for me though. |
