I not sure, but the 4570 is 256mb no?

The hd4570 from studio 15 is one step slower than hd3670 based on 3dmark06.

3D mark 06 wise, 3650 should be abt 5k+ (if using GDDR3), 4570 should be less than 4k...

here is the answer to ur question

Is the notebook reliable?
I thought getting it with 2.66GHZ, 4GB RAM, Home Pre, 500GB Hard Drive , Integrated CREATIVE Sound Blaster® and rest all normal.
Was wondering is this spec high enough to support high performance games? Will it lag? I also use photo shop too and I'm a heavy multitask-er

only feels warm when you start playing games for about an hour plus or so for me. but if you get a reliable laptop
cooler it would be great.

For me now , just finding a hard time to download the drivers from the website , wonders if anybody know any other alternative?
its very slow

im using the t9550 rite now and i don feel lag even with photoshop cs4.. games depends.. as for the heat, get urself the zalamn nc2000... its pricey but worth the price

LOL. Don't get that CREATIVE Sound Blaster thingy. It's useless or NO? I can't get any benefit from that. I thought it improve the speaker, afterall it's just a software. Duhs.

With my specs, I could max out L4D perfectly, handle CoD4 in high details. Yours might be a cool one.

According to notebookcheck, ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 only scored in the region of 4k+ on standard 3DMark06 benchmark. Only when OCed can achieve >5k points according to notebookreview forum

http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-...650.8839.0.html

3D Mark 06 has a lot of uncertainties...

CPU being 1...

anyway, 4k+ is still acceptable... considering that 9600M GT scores in this range as well...

Yes for DDR2 version of 9600M GT. By the way 4147 points is the maximum recorded score for HD3650 according to notebookcheck.

i think you guys wanted to compare the HD3670 from sxps 16, not the HD3650 right? that one scoring nearly 5k to me.

Talking of HD3650. For HD3670, no doubt it is faster.

Hm.. why talking about the HD3650 when it's not used here?

maybe using 3d mark vantage is more accurate.. since my 9600m gt scored 1.1k in performance mode(settings in 3d mark vantage) lol..

my bad... forgot which model is used in SXPS16...

your mind now filled with HD 4650 one lor....Asus is coming to you..

*mistaken 3670 with 3650..

i don’t have Studio XPS 16 but new BIOS A07 is out!!

expect GPU upgrade?

there is no news about a new gpu anywhere ,even at the US dell website..

normally Dell will not publish news if they want to upgrade/refresh their laptop hardware

new BIOS A07 explanation is a hint.
just like when Dell want to upgrade Merom CPU to Penryn CPU support for XPS M1530.
