i'm planing to buy 1 of this Dell 1520 model soon, all model 1520 comes with 2.0MP camera right?

and if run vista, wny problems so far?
*
first i find it annoying using vista...the grapical thingy eats up alot of ur memory...now u can configure with windows xp...choose xp first dude...or, u purchase with vista then uninstall it and install xp urself...wait for the sp only u reconsider using vista back...so far im using windows xp without any problem...all the drivers u need is available for download already...thats my point of view u can take as reference... biggrin.gif

I oredy got a Dell 9400 using vista so kinda used to it alredy.. coz both model im taking are going to be having 2gb rams. should be enough to cure the lags.

Uninstall vista and install XP laugh.gif If compare 7900GS and 8600GT GC.. which has better performance on a laptop..?
*
of coz the 8600GT...i scored 4000 in 3dmarks06...thats quite impressive..i play nfs carbon is maximum gc setting without any lagging...going to try lineage with full maximum setting as well...i just have to love this shit... flex.gif

1730 SLI graphic card is upgradable whist 1520 is not if I am correct.
Try not to waste getting a 8800GTS for 1k.Suggest buying a Dell M1730 which can score about 8000 on 3dmark 2006.As you know , when Nvidia comes out SLI 8800M you can upgrade it.
*
XPS M1730 can sore 8000 in 3dmarks06? thats impressive...but its kinda pricey....rm8K plus man.....8K......better use hal of it to built a superb desktop and use half of it to buy inspiron1520....

just got my 1520 inspiron sunshine yellow. so far owning this laptop feels like not owning one....1st time boot up hang, many times boot still hang,reinstalled windows vista my self, i installed Dirt cannot play, installed my NFS carbon cannot play, still got crash. today very very fedup i reformatted the laptop and reinstalled everything again.
so far the performance...still my P4 out performs it. i have no idea why is it like this. is this normal for this spec?

C2D 2.0ghz
2gb Ram
8600gt
vista home premium

anyway how come the video driver detects as standard video card?not 8600gt? not happy with this lappy currently. can anyone help?
*
dont blame dell...i face the same problem with u when using vista...after i installed win xp, no more such problem exist...all the games u mentioned above, i did tried on vista, succesfully installed and get to play, but not more than 15 mins, it hanged and i have to turn off by pressing the turn off button 3 seconds...give up on vista, and i installed only windows xp...it works until now...and i think u got the same spec with me though....it shudnt be a problem if u use windows xp...

u shud have a driver cd with u...try uninstall the standard driver video card driver as u said...reinstall the chipset driver first only u install the video card...thats the weird procedure doing it...thats what i found out...

Any1 got problem on wireless for Inspiron 1520?

After been used the vista 1 month. My pc keep restore back previous.

Before that, using xp so far not problem to me.

But recently, I install program such as  CCleaner.

After that, dunno why my laptop always on start up loading very slow somemore
keep prompt up the window closing program.

"Intel Proset/Wireless Registry Services"

Recently always happen on the start up.

What should I need to do?  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
