Heh my media direct partition gone long time already.

Anyone use vista on a core duo? Does it run well? Are there drivers for it and the x1300 graphics card?

You won't get negative impact but just remember, you cannot push the media direct button la
if you push, just pray you don't push it lah

using vista on 6400 core2duo, satisfied wif it. the driver u can find it in the 1st page of the thread, but u also can install from the cd gave by dell when u purchase the laptop.

the only thing im upset wif my 6400 is the dying graphics card

I thought i6400 is for light user coz DELL already got models that have better graphics card right?

Hello all Dell owners and (Dell employees lurking in this forum)

My adapter rosak adee, can use but cannot charge my battery.

is system still under warranty?

Try call DELL to replace it
if under warranty, can change it for free
if not, have to pay laaaa

Guys,
What is the main reason my i6400 responding so slow?

what interface does our wifi card works on? PCI-e or mini PCI ?

is mini PCI-e card slot.

My i6400 is getting Kernel Instack Page Error
but managed to login into windows

I read somewhere, this is because of the HDD?
DO i need to buy new HDD now?

better run test on HDD before buy new hdd.

I managed to logon into windows using last best setting something like that

How am i going to run test on HDD, any link bro?
FYI, i've already ran the test last night & it says something wrong with my HDD
i'm using Dell CD to run the diagnostics
when checked the HDD, got some issue with it but can't remember what it is

maybe you can try call the dell service man to come over and check for you?

well.. i'm new to this thread...

Welcome to the thread sis (or bro)

Actually my problem solved d
i changed the virtual memory in My Computer properties, changed 3048 to 2500
then took out my HDD and put near the fan to cool it down
noticed the HDD totally hot when i took it out

problem solved!

haha.. good then...
but your HDD so hot??
which means if you bring to work or study (i mean go out) you have to bring along you mini fan as well??
btw... just modified my lappie desktop... plus side bar... objectdock...
scared my RAM cannot support...

I don't bring my lappie to work but i did use it heavily, totally heavy user
sometimes on for more than 36 hours

I really need a mini fan faster

being running my 6400 for almost a week and its still working, didnt put into sleep mode, juz switched off its display.

Hey guys I'm new to this thread. I've had my 6400 for more 2 years already. I'm having the 3 years complete cover, but recently I'm thinking of upgrading (adding 1 or 2 sticks of RAM). I searched on dell's website, a stick of 1GB DDR2 costs 364RM inc delivery.
Have anyone tried upgrading through dell? Or shall I buy the ram outside (which I suppose would be much cheaper) and install myself? Is there a seal on the laptop's cover which would void the warranty if it's broken?
