Erm... It will void the warranty. For those that already out of warranty coverage maybe you can try this before your GC melt down on you.

I'm using version 156.69 (from Windows Update) for my Vista x64. Average idle around 50-55C depending on the room temperature.
Yesterday tried monitor with HWMonitor in the background while I playing C&C, so far max hits around 85C only. BIOS version A11 & Video BIOS version 60.86.45.00.40 (I doubt you can update the BIOS for 8400M GS, I just show for comparison) This post has been edited by da3shou3: Jul 7 2008, 08:26 PM |

I'm not so sure if I see any improvement. |

QUOTE(tamade @ Jul 16 2008, 02:34 PM) I wanna use native install to get best performance mah... in the process i learn a lot as well, especially to work around to get OSX working with all hardware... though many many reinstall took place... Well, I have tried ubuntu on VirtualBox from Sun. The performance is actually pretty good (very near to native I would say). Anyway, i starting to like uBuntu and OSX... both OS feel very "punchy" lar... like got a lot of housepower...  Now i know y once ppl migrate to apple, then there's no return...  |

Arg. I just tried to watch video from the DVD-RW drive itself for the first time after I bought this laptop. Sound cracks like mad. Same even if I made an image and run using Daemon Tool.
 Tried VLC media player, WMP both same. Both are 32-bit. Then I tried x64 WMP, sound was smooth. WTF??  Never had any problem playing audio from foobar 32-bit. Source was from hard disk though.  Any idea how to solve this??  This post has been edited by da3shou3: Jul 22 2008, 01:26 AM |

Well, I plug my Sony speakers (SRS-D211) to my laptop for music. Sounds are really good.
So I think if you want more out of your laptop for music while on the go, try invest a pair of good quality earbuds or headphones. This post has been edited by da3shou3: Aug 10 2008, 01:44 AM |

QUOTE(ZzZzz... @ Jan 15 2009, 01:29 AM) hey~all DELL XPS M1330 user......may i know how many second that ur M1330 spend to startup ur computer till ur log in window there???... Who cares about boot up time when overall performance while using Vista is more important? As long as it doesn't take like 15 or 20 mins to boot up, I suggest you just live with it than trying some weird tune up which end up making your overall system performance suffer.

QUOTE(ApocalypX @ Jan 22 2009, 09:01 PM) hi im plan to buy M1330 Probably should consider one of the newer model. Like XPS Studio 13/15 with an ATI chip instead if you're looking for a better laptop GPU.My suggestion sec is: PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T6400 (2GHz/ 800 FSB/ 2MB Cache) DELL SERVICES: HARDWARE MAINTENANCE 1-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover DISPLAY 13.3'' UltraSharp™ WXGA (1280x800) CCFL Display with TrueLife™ MEMORY 3GB (1X1GB+1X2GB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM HARD DRIVE 250GB SATA Hard Drive OPTICAL DRIVE Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities VIDEO CARD Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 AUDIO SOLUTION Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio Software WIRELESS NETWORK CARD Intel® 4965AGN Wireless-N Mini-Card Do you think my plan spc is OK. actually im looking for NIC that can support 1000g base but no option for upgrade it. Then my last prob is either choose using mobo display card or upgrade to GEforce.coz of many user facing GC n MOBO prob. Online Price RM 3,204.001 My M1330 nVidia GPU chip just went dead yesterday. :S Waiting on Monday to get the tech support to get over here. I hope there'll be no problem as I'm in Korea right now. >_< |

QUOTE(yongkailoon @ Feb 8 2009, 10:10 PM) When you say dead does it mean that your screen just don't show anything anymore ? Nop. Actually it's the famous "Rainbow" Screen of Death. I'm still waiting on the contact from Korea support team. Damn I suppose to have weekend+night support but they don't work on weekend even. |

4GB support is not hardware constraint but more on software. Use 64-bit OS. =)
