are we allowed to have 8gb or ram at max for 32bit vista then?

lol 8gb, why need so much, i hope they come out with better idea to cool off the gpu, always play full screen game can till 90+ temp.

the warranty suppose to be extended by dell for a year rite..hihihi

of course not 8gb. i plan to have 4gb memory. now running 3gb. but last time around. system will only detect 3.2gb i think. so now can run full 4gb?

yap2..mine can detect n run 4 gb ram..

@ruffoundation:
You're only partially right. Now it can detect 4gb ram but if you're running on 32bit you can only utilize 3gb. Only with 64bit os you can make use of all 4gb ram. So the only advantage if you're using 2x 2GB RAM is you'll have dual channel speed.

It's a 32-bit OS limitation in addressing. No matter what, you can't make use of all 4GB... unless you want other components to not work
With 64-bit OS, you can go up to 128GB.

thanks sifuS

is the problem with nvidia 8series gpu solved? thinkin of buying used m1330

it will eventually happen in 6 months time.

i just checked dell website, the BIOS A13 has been removed from the list. it revert bak to A12. not sure why.

btw, other few drivers also got update. such as nVidia and UPEK driver(touchreader).

ya...no wonder why dell website removed the BIOS A13 away...is it got any error on it?

No idea but I'm using A13

EDIT: You can still download from the link I posted

Fixes/Enhancements

1. Added enhancement for Wifi sniffer function.

Ok my Dell XPS M1330 has finally succumbed to the dreaded graphics card getting fried problem too, and guess what, it is exactly around 6 months!

Zz had i known about this earlier i might reconsider buying this, right now the technician is here replacing the motherboard, and he said the problem is still probably not fixed yet despite having a newer motherboard.

Fortunately i have 2 years of warranty, it's just damn mafan if this happens every 6 months zz, might need to get extra warranty.

told u so
but mine is 1 year only. wanna upgrade. waaaa

nway just change mobo yesterday. charger ok. batt ok. just cant on. lightning? forgot to unplug when Im mia for 3 days. lucky I unplug for ps3. call them and they send dell tech and change the mobo
