guys, issit possible to upgrade the Norton IS 2008 bundle with my lappy to Norton IS 2009 by using the same key?

the heat problem can be solved by undervolting ur laptop, using a good cooler like zalman nc2000.. however, its now more to whether u prefer vista over mac os X although u can dual boot a vista in a Mac

vista sp1 is already an excelence os in terms of compatibility and performance... i believe what u meanas not compatible is the vista without its service pack... heating problem like i said before all u need isjust to do undervolting... according to those that succesfuly did it, temps go as much as 15 degrees lower... add urself a laptop cooler should add additiona 5 to 10 degrees.. but one drawback, th hd 3670 is not as pwerful as the newer hd 4600 series nor the 9600 gt... vid editing should be fine

one thing good about macbook is that they have the finest build quality among all laptop brand.. dell is way inferior compare to mac in terms of quality and design

here is the answer to ur question

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

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

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 ...

maybe and maybe not.. but oh well.. its hard to catch up with technology nowadays. by the time we get tha hd4670, a few months after maybe hd 5670 will be out.. just that i hope newer games don't get too demanding like the gta iv.. any higher than that, our laptop can't run even on the lowest setting..

ati radeon hd3670 average score 4375

ati radeon hd4670 average score 7620

both based on 3d mark 06

quite a hefty diff for a step higher upgrade of gpu

how did u do that? i don see any option in their website?

did u use the modded catalyst driver or standard dell driver? i heard got diff in performance, but can't find the details

mine have no problem... ask the gurus around for help

depends whether u a gamer or a traveller... b ut the sxps 16 is better for movies rather than the smaller xps 13

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

the biggest problem for us now is that no manufacturer release laptops with good specs and good design.. either look like a brick with good specs... or look fashionable but performance subpar.. the only thing that make the sxps 16 stands in the crowd is the full led screen with backlight and latest montevina chipset and ddr3... too bad the gc not up to par with the market's current trend of 9600gt
