QUOTE(adrian7386 @ Jul 4 2009, 11:58 AM) can you teach me how to turn the start up thing off?newbie here... Try this. Click "Start" button > Type msconfig in "search program and files" and press enter > Select "Startup" tab > uncheck ithe bttrat if it is in the list > restart the computer QUOTE(zorbyss. @ Jul 4 2009, 12:03 PM) LOL. My friend did that for me. I'm newbie too =D. just here to learn some IT stuff. What I found now was different from what he's using. GO control panel, type "startup" on search. Should be able to see "Windows Defender". Click the underlined sentence. Find that "bttrat.exe" i guess. Added on July 4, 2009, 12:23 pmAnyone has any idea how to check my DVD drive type? There're 4 driver types in Dell's site. I don't know which one to download. Try this .Click "Start" button > right click "Computer" > select properties > select "Device Manager" on the left menu > Select DVD/CDROM drives in the list.

LOL. Everyone had the same question while buying it. Well, it's a software. It's kinda useless for me or perhaps majority.

4670 is more powerful than 3670 alot...even there is possible to upgrade...i think dell will charge very expensive!

HD3670 is not really a gaming card... It can play most games with medium settings except super modern demanding games like Crysis or Far Cry 2...
HD 3670 is OK for video en/decoding, editing etc.
HD4670 is somewhat better for games, it can play older and most new games with high settings, demanding games like Crysis will need medium to run smoothly.
BTW anyone know what model the 256GB SSD is in the XPS 1640?

4670 is definitely better than 4650 man.... I rather wait for SXPS! SXPS has a better design. Looks more like a PRO and LUXURY!
