oh for sure kazasho... 
i will try later today.

by the way guys,
i can see my HD partitioned into two C (OS) and D (system backup).
My HDD capacity is 250GB.
As we know 1kb=1024 bytes, thus 250GB is actually about 244GB in actual , rite?
but I can only see my total capacity is 230GB.
Anybody can explain? 

U got the bluetooh driver? I have 2 OS, but on XP sp3, there isnit any bluetooth icon or program show up in the control panel. and cant find the bluetooth driver on dell website.
by the way, XP sp3 performs really well.

hai guys..

i just notice that i had one dead pixel of my screen after changing the wallpaper. it size about a particle of sand.

can i request for screen replacement? or there are certain criteria of dead pixel that qualify for screen replacement?

cheers!

Remeber last time I ask dell malaysia and they told me that our lappie cant use that becoz some antenna is not installed, some said the card not compatible with our network....and now we all know that they bullshitting us, our lappie can use WWAN card as long as it's unlocked..

Don't really under stand what you talking abuot, the card can support 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz bands on HSDPA and UMTS networks and those network is used by most of the Telco included Maxis, celcom, digi. As you said like at Australia, the Vodafone are partners with Dell, this is where the card will locked to Vodafone network only, so you can't use it for other Telco.......When the card is not locked to any specific Telco then you will be able to use it, that's y i'm saying what v need is only an unlocked card.

"simple since they din tested and offer this feature here" it doesn't mean that WWAN card is not compatible in malaysia network that's y i'm saying the bullshit us.
Can you read a few post back that I already install an Unlock card and using with the Celcom 3g without any problem. we dun have to unlock the card ourself the unlocked card can be purchase from other country....for the reason they locked the card is because of business strategy not about the privacy.  about using non-authorize device it will be the same scenario as you using AP Mobile phone or you bring the phone from other country and use it in malaysia. So pls dun misleading the forumer if u dun know it.

dopoD810: Is there any way to check the current model of the mobo?

..............
reading replies in this topic make me unsure about my experiment result   
btw, should i ask for mobo replacement to dell? can i get it even i dont have major prob?  btw, its good to have the latest version.

guys,my xps auto shutdown after i turn on for few minutes.i just called DELL,they will send technician to my place on tomolo.
do you guy think they will take back my laptop to reapair?if yes,for how long?
thanks guy!

MrLawKH, what do u mean by the mobo being PU or DU? I recently replaced my mobo under warranty, it was a refurbished unit, but I dunno if it's PU or DU.

hey, got a question here.

My xps m1330's hdd got some noise when defragment, virus scaning.
sometimes, the noise also come out while i doing some file transfer or do something heavy load.

is it normal?? or should i call technician?

my xps using WD 160GB 5k+ rpm

Ok i just got myself a Dell XPS M1330 yesterday, got a pretty high-end one with 2.5ghz 6mb cache, 4gb ram, 200gb 7200rpm hdd etc in it, so far everything's been good except for one thing that annoys the f*** out of me.

When i first got it and played music, the sound will be distorted towards the end of every single song, and they are pretty darn obvious, otherwise when i do other stuff like opening programs, there'll be some very slight crackling sound in the music, i was so irritated at this supposedly top of the line model that i reformatted my laptop and reinstalled all the drivers.

So far it's been good, no more major distortion with the sound but i think i've heard some very minor ones, if this goes on i'm gonna call Dell and ask them what the hell is going on.

Anyone else with the same "luck"?

Ok did that but i'm not sure if it's made any improvement, since there's no more obvious distortion after the reformat i did. It could be me being oversensitive but i think i still hear some very minor distortions, occasionally.

I'll have to try installing other media players and see if there's any difference.

Anyway is Vista known to have issues when it comes to wireless connection? I was at my friend's place and her laptop connects fine and fast with her wireless router and mine was just painfully slow. Or could this be a Dell problem.

But the thing is i connect fine at other wireless spots, i think, or perhaps it could be faster.

haha! jus wat i said, all depend on ur luck!
and congratez tat they finally made ur machine perfect! lets cheer for dell technician support!

the 1st problem is the most common problem, this is wat they call "flaw" or something like tat. most of the oversea user face tis problem, and one of my fren too. they said it was graphic card fault, burn or something.

but the 2nd problem of urs, i not really bout it 
8400 is a discrete graphic card, not integrated. means seperated.

hi,
i was wondering if anyone can put up a picture of their system, esp the tuxedo black, looks 'real' from user's picture than those in the dell website.

I am considering getting a xps 1530 with the following specs
C2D T7250 : 2GHz 800MHz, 2MB cache
15.4 WXGA (1280x800) truelife
4GB 667MHz RAM
160GB HDD 7200RPM
Nvidia 8600GT
6 cell Batt,

i am considering getting it from uk, and where i am now i do not have to pay VAT, which is 17.5% less than uk price, aft conversion is about 3.8k RM, what do you guys think ? may get meself a vn nano mouse as well.

Usage, includes minor gaming, will also be used for programming and other electronics compilation for electronics circuitry and EDAs. and also PCB. So it should be a near desktop replacement.....

currently using a compaq and going bonkers with it,

hi ppl .. i wanna ask..
is there any issues with m1330?
coz my bro bought one.. comes with vista home premium
first thing.. there is a vista bug which it cant install driver for any mass storage (pendrive, external hdd, etc etc)
then.. it has weird thing.. when it is idle.. suddenly it turned off.. the hdd, monitor all off.. then it restart back.. during booting, it said that "windows are not properly shut down"

pls help me 

is that just a vista issues or really xps problem?
right now im thinking to install vista ultimate.. do that will help to solve my 2nd prob?

To know the actual size of your HDD (and also the hidden partitions), right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management.

Since Vista SP1 slipstreamed DVD is now available, can we actually request Dell to send one over?

i think the abnormal sound is a known problem... i think it produces by the mobo. but, it only appear when hdd is present and windows is loading. in bios, no sound..if boot via CD/DVD also no sound. this is from what i have experimented before.

as i got replaced total 3 mobo, all of them got the sound. it is high frequency sound and give me headache if expose for long time.
without this issue, xps m1330 just a great lappy.

solution; use ear/headphone.

what is the highest hdd xps 1330 can support erk? wanna upgrade it..
is it advisable to put in ssd?

price dnt matter

i got multicoloured lines....
