5k+ in 3D Mark 06 is consider decent for today's laptop...

HD 3670 basically fills up the gap between HD 4570 and HD 4650... and considering it's also 55nm (so is the HD4000 series less HD 4860 and HD 4830), it will still be in the market for quite sometime, since TSMC can't ve enough good quality of 40nm chips to even meet the desktop demand..

i thought u can customise???

well, it all depends on how u want to balance cost, performance and mobility...

i would call it decent instead of good....

look for HD4600 if u re thinking abt latest games...

u can help us by calling Dell and ask...

i think many ppl are interested to know also...

y dun u do us a favour and call Dell to ask??? i am sure many want to know also...

next time tell her (if there is)...

ok lor, i go buy HP dv6... u juz lost a customer...

up to u... but now everybody's going crazy abt the free upgrade to HD4670...

can't see a thing at Futuremark...

GeForce 9400M only???

9200M + 9400M... hmm... both are different spec, sia...

9200M should give u abt 1k+ to 2k, while 9400M gives u abt 3k...

but i thought 940M is integrated and 9200M is not???

bro, mind contributing here???

nah, my guess is that only Hybrid Power is working... GeForce Boost cannot use at all...

but the funny thing is, iirc, 9200M is a dedicated GPU with 8SP, while 9400M is an integrated GPU with 16SP... meaning the integrated graphic is even better than the dedicated one...

becuz if 9200M and 9400M works in GeForce Boost, only 8SP+8SP are working...

and remember for dual GC, 1+1 do not give u 2, so overall performance is even worse than 9400M alone... thus the lowly 2k+ 3D Mark 06

that's a reason y Dell throw in a 9500M GE into the SXPS13 now, since it's also got 16SP like the 9400M... this config should give u abt 4k 3D Mark 06...

that's y i am confused y Dell would put a config where an ok integrated GPU to go with a dedicated GPU that's even lousier than itself...

go get Mobility Modder....

i am using Catalyst 9.8 for Vista x64 for Radeon HD4000 (read: not Mobility Radeon), modded with Mobility Modder to work for mobile cards...

i would say WiFi Link 5100 is a downgrade from the previous 4965AGN... since 5100 can only do G and N connection only, thus limited to 2.4GHz... 5300 and 4965AGN can connect at 5GHz and thus, more stable, faster (on N only) and further...

my Asus laptop also got the slot, but i think it's pre-configed by Asus not to include the modem... i ve peeked inside before and can see it's empty...

that's a WiMax + WiFi card...

try ebay...

oops... srry, my bad...

thought saw 5350...

got update driver???
