so the speed is slight increase and the power draining is slightly  lower?am i correct?

I believe that the use of ddr3 should be put into consideration as ddr3 does make alot of difference. Most ddr2 laptops have 667 rams or at most 800 rams. Only certain laptops like the M1730 has 1067 ddr2. Ram performance between 800 MHz & 1067MHz is very far apart. Another plus to this is that ddr3 is able to give that performance without using much power,typically a ddr3 ram will use 1.7 or 1.8 volts. whereas a ddr2 ram would use more than 2 volts.

still bottleneck if the CPU offer 1066 FSB?

If its stackable,then ill be able to get it with 100 cheaper,100 means a lot to me...hehe...now since cant...will forget about it.

Why?u think s57 is better compared to dell too?haha...

If you're talking about specifications and not price point, it's debatable.

CPU options:
BENQ - Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)
DELL - Including and up to Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9800 (2.93GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 6MB Cache) **

RAM options:
BENQ - Up to max 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM
DELL - Up to max 8GB Dual Channel 1067MHz DDR3 SDRAM **

HDD options:
BENQ - 250/320/500 GB (5400RPM - SATA)
DELL - 320/500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive & 128GB SSD **

GPU options:
BENQ - ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4650 **
DELL - ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3670

WIFI options:
BENQ - Intel® WiFi Link 5100
DELL - Including and up to Intel® WiFi Link 5300 **

Screen options:
BENQ - 15.6" WXGA (1366x768), 16:9 LED backlight, UltraVivid widescreen display with 220nits, Response Time:8ms **
DELL - 16" 1080p WUXGA (1920x1080)**, 16:9 RGBLED Full HD Display**, average 232.1nits**, Response time: ?

Audio & Mic options:
BENQ - Built-in 2.0W speaker x2 + Built-in Microphone x1
DELL - 7 Watt Integrated Stereo Speakers with Subwoofer + Dual Digital Array Microphones **

Dell Studio XPS 16 can be customized to a powerful machine and in many aspects even better than BENQ Joybook s57; the only thing the s57 win hands down is the GPU, that makes the s57 a boon for casual gamers. BENQ Joybook s57 is a good notebook, I'm not saying otherwise.
For price point, that's a different story. There's always a reason why you pay more for the Studio XPS 16, the technology implemented in this notebook are more advanced plus the leather etc.

Personally I don't like tinkering with voltage and clock speeds that are out of the manufacturer's recommended values. Forcing the CPU/RAM etc to work harder (overclocking/increase the voltage) or not giving enough voltage or underclocking will cause system instability.

This is a crap analogy, so don't take it too seriously: overclocking = pushing yourself too hard during a marathon; undervolting = eat small portions even though you're hungry enough to literally devour a cow. Both these situations are not healthy, it's somewhat similar to notebooks as well.

well. erm. for lowyat retailer. don't buy from JustPC or the one at the entrance. They're not professional and not honest.

Hmm. Just a lil' question here, if compare gaming performance, Studio 1555 with HD 4570 and Studio XPS 16 with HD 3670, who wins?

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

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

maybe it'll be release the second half of the year.. too bad for the rest of us who gotten the sxps16 earlier on... the diff between hd3670 with hd 4670 is around 3k points according to 3d mark06... but i wonder how much heat will the more powerful gpu produce since the hd3670 already producing significant heat ...

Actually i like more dell xps studio 13 compare to xps studio 16, i hate wide monitor!!!!!!!!!

I am wondering y would dell make studio xps, sounds like a hybrid of xps and studio...
I like more xps, the matter i am not going to buy xps is because xps dun have ddr3 ram...

When would dell implement ddr3 ram in xps?????

oO Ic.. Anyone updated to ATI Catalyst 9.5?

-Deleted-

Potential buyers take note; 9-Cell (85WHr) Li-Ion spare primary battery is available for purchase under "Accessories My Dell" -> "Additional Power".
Will cost you RM 680.00

Is dell services is as gud as all people said???

price for the sxps 16 keep on increasing..  those that buy it previously are consider lucky to get it for a cheaper price
