I have just finished installing my vista ultimate with sp2.
i have been trying to install the latest version of Intel Matrix storage manager but amazingly found that the .
exe file is not executing. is this for sp2 installed or something wrong happened with my laptop.
Anybody in here that can tell me how I update the intel matrix drivers to my E6500?
When I download the files unzip I dont find a exe file in that folder.
Just alot of files?
I went and put in an SD card to download pictures... Usually i would get a pop-up that asks me what program do i want to open it with.
I would always use Picasa 3. I don't get that pop up anymore nor can i access anything to open it up with a 3rd party. I have to go in and click on Computer and right click on drive F to open File from there manually..
I've had good results from installing the Intel matrix storage driver v8.5 direct from Intel (newer than the Dell version) but tonight I tried the even newer v8.6 version from Intel and have had two blue screens, so having to revert.

When installing the driver from the dv3t latest driver thread ([Drivers] HP dv3, Compaq CQ35 / CQ36 (INTEL)) my computer refused to start up. I had to system restore to start up again.
I want to get this driver because of the performance advantage it states, or at least find out if there is an advantage.

Well when I opened up my E1705 to install it, I saw there were only 2 power cords (I dont know what to call the small power cables). Anyways the 4965 has 3 ports for power as you can see in this picture
I upgraded from a Dell 1500 draft N, which has only 2 of those powers, one on the left and right, but not one in the middle like the Intel has
I tried installing it with only the left and right ones, the same way the dell one was installed and it seems to work fine, but the Wifi light blinks like crazy if im ever doing anything (such as gaming, or everytime something is downloading)
I'm planning on installing an Intel X25-M G2 in my UMBP. Do you guys have any before/after installation tips? Also, the company I purchased the drive from has a very limited return policy, so I want to push the SSD to its limits within the first week. What tasks should I perform? Any signs I should look for indicating a bad drive?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI periodically check Dell's site for updated video drivers but they are always sooo old. (Dell's driver-Version 7. something, Intel's-Version 11.something) Intel's site is much more up to date. Anyway, I'll download the Intel drivers and attempt to run the installer. It'll extract all the files but then close and show a message stating that the driver isn't "validated" to run on this computer and that I must get driver updates from my pc maker.
Why are others able to install the drivers, even on other Dell systems? Is it a business notebook thing due to the need for stable system images?
I want to replace my 1810T's Intel Wifi Link 5100 with an Intel Wifi Link 5300.
The 5100 has two antenna connectors and so the 1810T has two antennas already installed in it.
I purchased a third antenna, but I don't want to disassemble the screen to add the third antenna next to the two stock antennas.
Can I just place the third antenna here (empty area next to mini PCIe slot):
When installing OS , it is possible to load ACHI driver.
From DELL driver download page is possible to download:
Matrix Storage Manager Notebook Driver 7.5
so I've been tinkering with the e6400 that I bought off Dell Outlet the other day. I've noticed that when I start or restart my computer with an external drive plugged in (whether it be an actual drive or a flash drive)
the Dell will hang at the Intel Matrix Management screen, and give no indication of anything happening. What I usually have to do then is to turn off the laptop and unplug whatever drive was there.
Any ideas why this happens, and if I can change it somehow? I've seen people mention changing the BIOS to ACHI instead, but I'm not sure if that's a related issue.
Is it possible to replace FHD TN matrix on an W530 (B156HTN01_1) with any good IPS matrix?
I'm really disappointed with viewing angles and colours.
I have brought a new dell studio 1435 laptop and they provided me with default windows vista home premiun OS.
I have installed windows XP professional OS after changing the BIOS settings for onboard devices (In BIOS:
Onboard Devices -> Flash Cache Module -> Set Off
Onboard Devices -> SATA Operation -> Set ATA)
Can i will be able to install the windows vista OS after installing windows Xp with the same BIOS settings for onboard devices (In BIOS:
Onboard Devices -> Flash Cache Module -> Set Off
Onboard Devices -> SATA Operation -> Set ATA)
is it possible in the XPS M1530,

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU9400 vs Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500.
i am trying to buy my first acer computer and i am deliberate between the timeline 14" with one of this cpu .
i was wondering what would bee the different between the 2.
they have the some system bus 800mhz and the some clock speed 1.4Ghz, the only different is between 1 core or 2 .
price different would be from 579$ (staples spacial) with su3500 to 919$ (only from Canada) with su9400.
what the performance difference is between the Intel Core i7-620M and the . Intel Core i7-820QM. I always thought the quad core 820QM was faster, but on the hp website the dual core 620M is more expensive.
Is the 620M faster? And is it faster for specific things only?
I own a Dell 7520 and it has four 3.0 usb ports. However, I have discovered that one program I use does not support Intel 3.0 USB ports only USB 2.0 ports. So the only port that program will use is the Realtek USB card reader on the 7520 because that is a native 2.0 port.
According to a poster Innogen on the Intel support forum "The BIOS in my Dell Inspiron 7520 allows me to disable it so that the USB 3.0 ports revert to USB 2.0 functionality." but I can't find any such functionality in my BIOS (using version A06).

I tried uninstalling the Intel USB 3.0 drivers in WIn 7 Ultimate hoping that when I rebooted it would install USB 2.0 drivers but it simply reinstalled the USB 3.0 drivers.
I would really like to get this program working on my computer and while I am not happy about losing USB 3.0 functionality I can live with it until the vendor gets its act together and starts to support Intel USB 3.0.

Alright, so I purchased a Studio 1745 with a Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8GHz/1066Mhz w/ 6 MB Cache), but after three delays I really don't want to give Dell my business anymore.
There is a HP with an Intel 1.6GHz i7-720QM processor on Amazon with better specs for less money. Basically,
I am wondering if there are any downsides to ordering the new i7. I don't understand how the separate cores work exactly, so I just want to know if it is an equal or better processor?
I have an Inspiron 700m of which I am the original owner. I just ordered a new Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 80GB 7200rpm drive. I have only done one OS install prior to this when I assembled a desktop PC but that was several years ago and I was following an online guide (MySuperPC) virtually step-by-step.
I have contacted Dell and they sent me a reinstall copy of the OS (XP Home) on CD.
My biggest concern is partitioning. I'm really not clear on what this is all about or how I should go about doing this. I've had one person tell me not to partition at all. Another tell me to make it 50%-50% and another tell me to make a 5GB partition just for the OS.
This a basic email, web browsing, document reading type of machine that I use when I'm traveling.
I can follow to install the OS onto my new hard drive? I've seen a few, but they seem to be more geared toward recovery type reinstallations and several seem geared more toward "power users."
Where's the cheapest place to buy the intel 5300 wireless mini card for my xps 1530? Also, how much of a difference is it from the Dell Wireless 1395 mini card?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI installed the Intel X25-M SSD in my 1 year old M1330 today, adn installed Visat x64 ultimate on it. Initially i felt some performance increase, but maybe not as much as i had hoped for.
I then ran benchmark test (read) in HD Tune Pro, and averega eonly turned up as being 105 mb/s. I have read several test and reviews of the X25-M and none of them showed those rates.
Almost all of them showed about 210 mb/s (read). My burst rate is 82.5 mb/s, cpu usuage 26.3%.
Could any one perhaps tell me why there is such a big difference in the tests? I should have all the latets drivers and firmware updates.
I'm wondering if it will be relatively painless to install a Intel® X25-E Extreme SSD (32GB) in my XPS 16.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy Intel SSD X25-M will be arriving in a few days. Lets hope it has the latest firmware..
But is there anything i need to know before i put the SSD in the laptop and proceed with the installation. I understand there are a couple of things I need to do in BIOS and one of them is to change the SATA setting to AHCI???? ATA?? instead of RAID. And then after installation i change it back to which one???
I would do a search on the forums, but its the crappy search tool which makes its hard for me to do a specific search.
I've just inherited my brother's M1210 with Vista Business pre-installed. I was interested in doing a clean install of Windows XP instead. I've done a search on this forum and elsewhere and I'm a little confused.
1. Can I just use an XP install disc I already have for a computer I no longer use?
2. Is there another option other than using my own copy of XP?
3. Do I need to do anything else other than install the XP drivers from the Dell website after installing XP?
I'm trying to get the webcam running but I really don't know how to do so.
I installed the dell webcam manager. If I want to launch the webcam console I get the warning that I have to install the webcam driver first.
Well, I tried to install the webcam driver (located at the M6400 driver section) but this installer only tells me that no webcam manager was found and aborts the installation?
I also don't have any webcam manager cd that is mentioned at other posting about this topic. It wasn't delivered with the notebook.
Windows Vista crashed and the OS disk that was included with the system was corrupt so I had a local company re-install from their disk, however, I did not
supply them with the media direct CD (v3.5 on an Inspiron 1525) because I didn't know that it had to be installed at the same time.
Now I need to (from looking at other threads) partition the disk - will this be done by just running the Media Direct CD and picking option 1?
Or do I have to have the OS disk (which I don't have)? I don't want to pick option 1 until I know that I don't need the OS disk .....
