Just ordered mine! Estimated arrival at 8 Aug 2007.

But I'm really starting to worry about the 1520's weight. Is it really THAT heavy?

I've searched high and low for the solution and I found that there's some people facing this kinda problem too. There are two possibilities I can think of:
1. The game itself, but not everyone is facing this problem.
2. The GPU is too hot to handle the game.

Yeah, there isn't any widespread C&C3 crashing issue I can find.

Well is there any fix for this?

I can't find any so far.

By the way guys, what're your temperatures?

How do you measure that?

One thing I notice is that finger print can be easily seen on the colour portion of the casing

Yeah, mine had finger prints on my jet black casing too.. blink.gif

Yeap, I'm still waiting for Dell/Nvidia/MS to release a suitable driver.

I tried installing one of Nvidia drivers that support the 8600m gt card and ended up with my Aero theme gone. windows experience index went down from 4.5 to a bloody 1.0..

Had to pull out my Dell's display driver DVD.

You mean ForceWare? I've updated mine to 163.11, no problem so far.

Yeah, mine was 101.xx. I'll try to get that version installed. But it seems that updating drivers still doesn't solve the C&C3 crashing problem.. sad.gif

I collect mine from some DELL linked PC company when I got the call. It arrived 3 days earlier than the EDD so no complaints. biggrin.gif

God..my 1520 just BSOD'ed again last night.. It happened like 3 or 4 times before but i just wrote em off as random hardware errors but this is seriously starting to worry me.. cry.gif

Another thing, my wi-fi never resumes connectivity after i sleep or hibernate my laptop. bringing up the 'connect to a network' windows jus results in a blank white screen! And whenever i try to shutdown after that happens, the shutdown always freezes and i'd have to force-shutdown it. GRRR..this is really getting on my nerves... So much for all the hype on Vista/1520? sad.gif

I have a question..i somehow forgot to include the bluetooth option on my 1520.. Just realised that it could be useful.

anyone knows how and where can i get a dell bluetooth module for the 1520?

actually you can just get a USB bluetooth device for that

Added on September 11, 2007, 11:55 pmit'll cost you few ten bucks only

but i'd prefer an internal one..so that i dont need to plug in anything extra..

I found it on the US dell site but can't seem to find it in dell.com.my. sad.gif

Call Dell and see if they can add the module for u at an extra charge? It's still under warranty anyways, so u can always either pay a bit more and exchange for a new unit with the bluetooth module or ask them to add it to ur current lappy.

Ah..ok, will try that. Thanks! biggrin.gif
