so a replacement 14z that they sent me no longer can go down to .875v, but only to .9250.
I've tried changing between 32 and 64 bit, between vista and windows 7, and it even between different drivers.
I'm beginning to think that it's the cpu itself, because everything inside should be basically the same.
After doing some research and reading,I'm looking to purchase a Latitude E6400 from the outlet.
I can't decide which processor to get. I found two configurations with the same price but different processors.
One has the T9400 and the other has the P8600. Should I go with the T9400 since it has a 6mb cache? If you had to chose , what would you guys consider the best option?
I got a studio 1555 a few months ago, with p8600, now they are coming with the i7-720qm
Which is better, why, and how much better is it?
Do you think I am at a big disadvantage?
Is the i7-720qm core 2 duo as well, sorry I don't fully understand processors.
And what exactly is the i7 technology?
should I buy the Dell XPS 1640 (P8600, ATI 3670). I intend to use the Dell XPS 1640 for web surfing, watching movies, and play some light games online. Would my Dell XPS 1640 with ATI 3670 will have these problems like overheating and throttling?
After reading those horrible stories about XPS 1640 like overheatinga and throttling). I am not so sure about buying them.
Is there a big difference between the 2 not in games and in games(RTS games)?
T9400 - 2.53ghz, 6mb cache, 1066mhz bus..
P8600- 2.4ghz, 3mb cache, 1066ghz bus..
Image you're using your notebook for things like 3D CAD, photo and video editing and of course for travelling. For my purpose I think the M2400 with its 14,1" monitor should fit perfectly. The perfect combination between mobility and performance.
Now I have to decide between 2 processors. As you know the P8600 isn't available and even Dell couldn't tell me if it will be available in the next weeks.
As you know the M2400 can only be ordered with the following processors:P8600 (2,4 GHz, 25W, 3MB Cache)T9400 (2,53 GHz, 35W, 6MB Cache)
So which one would you choose and why? The price difference is about 100$ (71,4 EUR).
Just got a refurb Studio 1537 with a P8600. Using Core Temp, it idles around 50-55 C, and when if it gets to 60 the fan comes on to knock it down to around 45ish, and then it climbs back up.
Should I be using a diff temperature monitor, and also, are those temps high?
Since the P8600 is a fairly common CPU on the XPS Studio 13/16 I thought this would be worth posting.
Stability was confirmed at each FID with Orthos for 60 minutes. I chose to disable SuperLFM and IDA. Under 100% load, at 2.4GHz the reported CPU temp dropped almost 12 degrees C. Obviously the difference was less at reduced speeds, but still worthwhile.
I do not notice any difference in the way the computer responds or performs, so as far as I am concerned this is free cooling. I was able to get 4hr 15min on the 9-cell battery with screen brightness @ 30% and low CPU demand (IE8 with wifi) so it probably modestly improves battery life too.
Is the i7-820QM or 720QM accptable as a direct replacment for my P8600 in my Dell Studio XPS 1640 that is now out of warranty?

Empire total war,I'm sure still carry's out control instruction's much better with the X9100 despite framerates being pretty much identical.....a bit hard to tell as the game AI is soo buggy....
how to overclock the P8600 processor but had no good luck, I know I can't overlclock through the BIOS, but I've heard of using programs such as SETFSB, but I don't know how exactly how I can use this program for my processor specifically. Does anyone know how to overclock my processor P8600 (1006 Mhz)
Here is some additional information:
DELL STUDIO XPS 16
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 : 2.4GHz/1066MHz FSB/3MB Cache
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 Video Card
4GB OF DDR3 RAM
If there is any other information that you need please ask, I would really like to overclock make it to 2.8 Ghz or
P8600 (2,4 GHz, 25W, 3MB Cache)
T9400 (2,53 GHz, 35W, 6MB Cache)
Sony FW 290 CTO:
1. Which should be a better CPU for like normal use (ex. Photoshop, Movie/editing, Gaming, etc..)?
2. How much a different on battery life.. ?
3. Or should wait for a new model FW 300 series.. to come out.. ?
Is possible to enable the Intel Virtualization Technologia in a Inspiron 15 or Studio 17 with p8600 processor
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn looking to pick up a laptop and have it in my hands by late next week, I found that I had to go with the 2.26 GHz processor from the P-series. I was hoping for 2.4 GHz or better.
The reason I was willing to do so was that the notebook is coming equipped with an OCZ Vertex SSD at 120 GB.
My take is that the hard drive is still the bottleneck, so a mere 140 MHz difference in the presence of an SSD isn't going to be felt, and that a 2.4 GHz processor + SSD isn't going to really be snappier compared to a 2.26 GHz one with an SSD for most things.

Not sure about the dimensions of the M4500, they look good on paper but bulky in picutres.

Is the Acer Timeline 3810T with 1,4 ghz core2solo cpu, Vista home, capable of playing full hd 1080p .mkv movies without breaks?
I'm searching for hours but didn't find anything about that.
My plan is it, to connect this notebook to a fulll hd LCD over HDMI and to play all my .mkv videos on it.
Is this possible, using the right player (vlc or media player classic etc.) which supports the 4500MHD graphic-chip of course... ?
And if the core2solo is to weak, will a core2duo the solution?

Whenever I play HD videos in youtube, they lag a lot on my dv5t. The lagging is even more obvious when it's full screen. I noticed that everytime I play a HD video from youtube, my CPU usage shoots up to more than 90%. Does anyone else have this problem?
My brand new dv5t has a 526 MB GPU, 2.4GHz CPU and 3 gig of RAM. I do have quite a slow internet connection though. But I let the video load completely every time before I play it, I don't see the internet connection is the reason for my problem. And why such high CPU usage?
I tried to go to iMovie tonight to edit some videos, but when I went to import the video, it wouldn't import them. All it did was say "importing video," then it would say "processing video," and then just quit. It only attempts to import a video for about 15 seconds, then stops.
This is iMovie 08 from the iLife 08 suite.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron N5110. After two years, my laptop starts to have reduced performance in gaming and watching streaming videos. I did a factory reset. Everything seems fine.
I did a test by installing Warcraft 3 which I played with no lag at all. After that, I started to install/ update the Graphic drivers, Windows updates and installed Starcraft 2.
Then I played Warcraft 3 to test the performance and it lags like for every 2 seconds in game.
Please note that I test my system by playing WC3 after installing the following individual items:
Item 1: Graphics driver
Item 2: Windows updates
Item 3: Starcraft 2
Please note that I did three (3) factory resets.
This means I install WC3 and played and there is no lags. When i do Item 1, WC3 lags.
This means I install WC3 and played and there is no lags. When i do Item 2, WC3 lags.
This means I install WC3 and played and there is no lags. When i do Item 3, WC3 lags.
Please note that I did a hardware diagnostic test and I pass all the tests.
I also did played around with:
1) Power Settings
2) Nvidia Control Settings and used the my graphic card instead of integrated video card.
But I am still facing the lag.
At the moment, I am using my laptop at the factory settings and not installing any drivers or updates.
As i am interested in getting the Envy maybe like other people? i was wondering if some of you lucky people that already have the Envy, would mind sharing some Screens (with FPS) as well as some videos of some of the games, it would be nice to know what the settings are as well
I know there are benchmarks for it but i want in GAME screens and videos
benchies like 3d Marks and the like dont interest me - ONLY actual in game performance does
I was just streaming this 500+MB video of Starcraft II off their website, and I was wondering:
Since the video is completely streamed, that means its downloaded, right?
Where would I find the file on my HDD?
I wouldn't want to have to download the whole 500+MB again.
I cant watch any videos in hd on my hp pavilion 15-d069wm. Netflix or any thing.
