Dell :: Intel T9550 Or P8700 For Studio XPS 16?
May 17, 2009
I am in the process of buying a new Dell Studio XPS 16 and have the spec finalized with the exception of the CPU selection of either the T9550 or the P8770.
I am looking to future proof my laptop as much as possible for the next 5 years, and am looking for the best blend of performance, versatility, battery life and heat management.
I have read some reviews about the XPS 16 generating excess heat and want to avoid as much as possible. Here is my spec: XPS 16, 1080 RGB LED screen, 256 SDD drive, Win Vista Home Prem 64bit, 4GB DDR3, ATI Radeon 3670 w/512mb, Blueray DVD ....

Im buying a E6500, but im not quite sure on whether to get the P9600 or T9550 proc... Aside from the 25W TDP of P9600, are there any other differences between the two? Any recommendations?
I'll be installing Vista 64bit and will be using this laptop for dev and testing purposes, I'll have multiple VMs running on Virtual Server so Intel VT is a must have. Also, I live in the tropics so heat will definitely be a factor when Im working out of the office.

I've seen that there are some people here looking to upgrade to the T9900. I have a T9550 (2.66 1066 6MB L2) with 4 GB RAM and a 256GB SSD.

Just read some info online that the P8700 can run Windows 64 bit but is not built on a 64 bit architecture! Is this true b/c if so, I will switch my SXPS config to the T9550.

I'm in love with the computer but it seems to be lacking a bit in speed. I usually use my desktop that has a Q6600 along with 4 GB of RAM. I do use this frequently though while on the road and while it's fairly quick I notice that it gets a bit bogged down at times. It currently has a T4200 along with 2 GB of RAM. As with all of my new computers I formatted it it upon delivery with Windows XP Pro SP3 so it's not a matter of bloatware and such. Is it worth it to upgrade the processor? Would bit be a significant difference in speed? If so could you please suggest a processor that would be the best bang of the buck? I stated the P8700 because it's the fastest processor that Dell offers but if there's something better please don't hesitate to offer a suggestion.

I have an aging M1210 with 2 gigs of ran, a OCZ SSD & the C2D 2ghz T7200 processor.
I wasnt really planning on an upgrade but the pricing looks pretty good.
I am not sure if its worth it though. My M1210 with SSD is amazing.
I just dont know if going from a 2.0 T7200 to a 2.66 T9550 is worth it or if i should wait longer for an I7 system in this size?

I'm getting myself an Intel WiFi Link 5100 to replace the current Dell 1510N card in my Studio 1535. Is the Intel WiFi Link 5100 fully supported by my laptop?
Are the number of wires same for both cards? Any specific steps that I need to do when replacing the card? This is my first time doing this so I'm a bit nervous.

Well can it? I want to put one in mine. I guess it's anybody's guess, but I would assume the motherboard will apply the right stepping. The voltage and chipset and socket requirement is the same.

Because the Studio XPS 1645 Intel Core i7 Owner's thread was getting pretty *thick* with *Order Status* Inquiries, etc... I thought it was time to get an *Order Status* thread started, since so many are ordering it! And, to lessen the *heavyness* felt with the Owner's thread.
Also, we really should keep Status Updates, Order Delays, Progress as such, separated in this section of the forum! It will make the other thread "easier on the eye" per se!
So, this thread is for all the SXPS 1645 owner's to post when they ordered, status updates only, and when received etc.....Basically this is a thread for Order Status (and all included w/in the thread title) ........

as of 2 hours ago my high speed has been stuck at 1 Mbps, much slower then its usual 65+ that I've had over the last 6 days since I got my laptop.
I'm thinking I may have received a faulty wireless card, since when I checked my wired desktop downstairs it's still at it's usual 100Mbps, and my sisters Inspiron 1420 has its normal high speed.
Now when I restart my wireless adapter (Intel 5100) the speed fluctuates between 4-38 Mbps for about a minute before dropping- and staying at 1 Mbps once again.
I checked if there are any computers stealing my wireless connection just in case, and as I thought no one is .....
