How to clean the fan? Using vacuumn cleaner?

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?...l+Inspiron+6400

is this true ar? 5mb cache?

Use blower for laptop

Speaking of temps, mine maxed out at 57 degrees, and averaged about 40 degrees. This is with normal online surfing on wireless.

Have YET to try with gaming though.

Im using Inspiron 6400, overlooked when i purchased 2 years ago, bought it with on board graphic, currently upgrade ram to 2.5GB Ram, PROC 1.66ghz T2300.

Now my question is how to increase the on board graphic memory, currently i checked out in BIOS is only 8MB and guess that is making my junkie really slow.

Anyone can suggest on increasing the Onboard graphic cache as I tried from BIOS, i just cant find any solution....

Why not u just google it OR look another DELL forum?

I have installed 2 x 2GB Kingston PC5300 667Mhz ram recently.

I only get 3.25GB shown with Windows XP. I have seen people mention 3.5GB and 3.75GB. I wonder what makes those differences?

My processor is the T2500 Core Duo 2.0GHz 667Mhz Bus speed

Graphics card is 256MB Mobility Radeon X1400.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Thank you.

Calvin,
How much for 1 piece of 2 GB RAM?

I bought for RM110. Last time I bought 1GB it was like RM300. Damn sakit wei...

DDR2 right?
So, nowadays 2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM is only RM110?

I also dont know. It will reach 70+ even tho i'm using coolermaster coolingpad.
Is it because i'm using the old version of I8kfanGUI?
But sometimes, its ok around 50+

I'm waiting for the 2gb ram to drop to rm80+ then buy.
Got broke after buying the warranty. 1k T_T

Thanks for the info calvin

May be i just settle for 1 piece of 2GB RAM

My i6400 temp going high lately, reaching more than 60 sometimes
average is between 45 to 55

Are you using XP or Vista?

When I used Vista, my laptop is generally hotter as opposed to XP.

was wandering if we could "tighten" the hinge own self? called up dell, said its "under wear and tear" so not covered under the warranty.
'cause its very loose now, its like "swaying" under the fan

and ah, what's the cheapest 2gb ram in lowyat shops eh? saw viewnet, kingston 2gb @ rm130. good price, you think?

I'm using Windows XP
nowadays the heat is getting hot a bitI thought the link Calvin_gsc gave me is the cheapest, RM110 per piece
