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.

Lol i need explanation too for tat bios skip to A14.. my lappy ady 4 months old, 2 more months to exp the nightmare...hate it

This is a real funny laptop, we buy and start counting the 6 months period to experience it...wth we get it at the 1st place? I lol'ed.

The reason I bought it because of the appearance..now I regret coz counting for its mobo lifespan. haha XD

I play crysis b4 with my lappy but the temp is very critical even with cooling pad. around 85-95..so I only play for few hours not to exceed more than 90. Not sure about call of duty 5 though but call of duty 4 can play it so smooth

seriously? did u guys use any cooling pad? tat really high, mine only reach 73 if without cooling pad

based on this thread, every 6 months even u r light gamer.

really swt, but if want to extend it for RM700, u better sell if off cheap and buy new laptop, now tech market price drop drastically.
I dont think theres a ned to off the GPU since u pay 3-4k for a high performance specs..no worth.. nxt year many new students, try ur luck sell it off

50 seconds coz got antivirus,rainlander,torrent and many graphics thingy

I can't believe theres still people go for M1330 after so many new model came out from Dell, I myself using M1330 since last year July, till now approximately 7 months and I dont feel lag or anything wrong with my laptop. Coz I got monitor the GPU temp must always below 80, if above 85, I will never allow it to run at that temp. Most people I knew who have problem with their laptop, not just XPS, other laptop like HP and Acer, they suffer those problems coz never care about the GPU temp and get blue screen like others.

this laptop not good if run high grap games too long, I never intend to play fall out 3 or crysis more than 2-3 hours or else auto restart or blue screen coz I check with my g15 keyboard can see the temps reach 90+ even wif CM notepal infinite, i got myself a desktop for gaming while laptop for light graphic game like cs n dota n other online games.

I using nearly 9 months n haven't exp the GC error or rainbow

u should hav ask the technician, the technician told me that the XPS itself is very compact and not good ventilation as what u can learn. Cooling pad is a MUST if u intend to play games, and playing graphic games for long hours will affect its life span.. better download those GPU software to monitor the temps. I'm proud my laptop didnt fail me yet after 9 months past ady

extended warranty after purchase really cost a lot, hope mine last until I graduate, and I only have few months left b4 warranty expired. I even see my friend laptop drop once from the chair, but the laptop itself inside the laptop bag but still crap the internal screen till malfuntion. Luckily he still on warranty which suppose to expire next month.

I guess its more about monitor ur temp rather than dont care about it, download HWMonitor to keep them down below 90c,

Anyway 1 more month my warranty will b over, i also hope my lappy will b fine since i havent got any error.

my laptop havent face rainbow yet since last year july i bought my laptop, so it is 1 year old ady, no glitching or color problem as far as i know. as i always told my friends n people here.. always check ur temp. coz I was once told by the dell representative that XPS m1330 slim model hav low air flow and it is easy for gpu to dmg in long term if temp rises. Reliable cooling pad can 24/7 XD, i using CM infinite notepal.

today is my unlucky day... juz now i keep pressing on button and keep appear vertical color line... try 10x and keep showing vertical lines... so confirm nvidia issues rite? I heard theres extend warranty for this by dell.. how to claim warranty for it? coz I check my warranty status in dell site showing all 0... anyway my warranty expired ady last 2 months... 1st time having this vertical line issue after a year.
