I have a precision m70 and I wanted to know if I can use the geforce 6800go video card that was for an inspiron 9300? Also, can I use the 17" screen from inspiron 9300 or XPS gen 2 on a precision m70? I prefer to use the XPS gen 2 screen because of the darker bezel.
View 10 RepliesI’m about to get a 6800go in a couple of weeks, and I’m going to almost hate messing with something that has served me so well. I’m only a gamer on my Desktop, so I don’t know what the 6800go will bring me different than what I already have. I get 90fps in low setting playing Quake 4 already, so I guess the only thing I’ll gain there is the shadowing and maybe 90fps on medium settings? One more thing might be a turn on is playing COD4 on the laptop now, but the 15” screen on the D810 just can’t add up to the 2007FP of my Desktop.
So since I have time before I actually get the card, I want to know what you think of the 6800go and what fun it might bring me over my x600? Right now I can play FEAR, Quake 4 and Counter Strike with no problems, could be RAM related since I have 2GB.
I just need something to do to pass the wait time, so let it roll!
If there's any special drivers I need,
the nVidia 6800Go (Dell part 0W5373, I guess) video card on my Inspiron 9300 has stopped working properly.
I've ran Dell Diagnostics and it reported an error code "5300: 0119", which suggests that the video memory is damaged.
Now I'm wondering whether I can put an ATI X300 (Dell part 0W5379) found on ebay in place of my fried video card.
The X300 is much cheaper than the 6800Go and I'm not interested in performance at the moment, I just want to fix my laptop.
Would that be compatible?
In the end that ATI card has been extracted from another Inspiron 9300...
you can see here two vaio graphic cards ..
9600M GT and GT 330M
That really surprised me that 330M doesnt support DX 11
as the title suggests, anyone have an idea if the gpu on the xps 16 is going to get upgraded sometime in the near future.
the 3670 is good but a bit weak for me, i'd love for it to get the just leaked 4770, but who am i kidding right?
Trying to let the AS5 set right now, hope the temps are lower than the other CPU since it was using one of those cheap cpu pad things.
Next on the upgrade list is the biggest 7200RPM drive that will fit.
Then another 2Gb of RAM for a total of 4Gb!
I ordered my sxps 16 on the 10th with the 720 screen. It says it's still "In Production" and the ship date keeps getting pushed back (8/5).
If I called could I get them to upgrade to the new base screen for free, or does Dell not do that kind of thing?
When I run off the battery, my windows glitch when minimized, maximized, or dragged across the screen. Everything is fine if left stationary, but when I move them it causes the glitching.

I need to know what special drivers do i need.. I have fps drops going from 70 to 30 every 2 min.
Would greatly be appriciated if you guys give me a link for the little lcd monitor i cant find the driver. I'm such a nub.
I have an M1710 with a T2600 @ 2.16GHz and looking to possibly upgrade.
My questions are:
1. What have you upgraded to & how much did it cost?
2. Is there list of possible CPU upgrades for the M1710?
3. Where does my processor lie in that list?
4. Is there room for A LOT of speed improvement? Marginal?
5. Is it easy & is there a "how to" somewhere?
Just upgraded the CPU in my M1530 this afternoon from a 1.66gHz T5450 to a 2.5gHz T9300.

Is there a big difference between DDR2 800mhz and DDR3 1066mhz?
Just upgraded the RAM in my new (to me) M4400 from 4GB to 8GB.
I notice it takes MUCH longer than it used to for the BIOS screen to finish before Windows can start to boot.
Once the BIOS screen is finished, everything is normal and Windows runs fine.
Is this normal?
I searched but couldn't find anything on this. I had an 8600 processor originally and got a QX9300 for my M6400. Nothing else changed (yet) and I'm running W7. The fan hardly spun up to an audible degree with the 86, but now with the QX I hear the fan all the time...
Is this normal? I mean, I know it's a quad core vs. a dual core and the clock speed is slightly faster (2.53G vs. 2.4G). But I can just have the laptop sitting doing nothing and the fan is kicked up pretty much all the time....
I just upgraded from a WD 5400rpm HDD to a WD scorpio black 7200rpm HDD. Despite reading people saying it makes a noticeable difference...
I have yet to notice any difference in terms of access times and system performance.
Transfer times with my external HDD have decreased but apart from that, it all feels the same.
Maybe I expected too much but I'm kind of disappointed. Is it just me or has anyone else experienced the same
I have an XPS M1710 Core Duo, with an upgraded 7950 GTX GPU which I'm going to be changing to a Quadro 3500M for OpenGL.
If I change the CPU from a T2500(2 GhZ) to a T7600(2.33 GhZ). Will my Mobo run at 64bit or not? My brothers seems to think not, and I'm not sure on this one!.
i have a dell inspiron 1720 with a GeForce 8400M GS 128 ya i know it sucks but anyways when i go to dell or do a google all im seen is that the 8400 is a 256 ddr is this right? i run a program called TechPowerUp GPU and its saying 128 to did they make a 128 and a 256?

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron E1705, Core 2 dou, 2 GB Ram, Very powerful laptop. I have an ATI Video card in it that I've been trying hard to upgrade to a Geforce. I bought 6 till with no luck at all, I bought all of them off ebay, the last one was a couple days ago, when I got it, I installed it and everything was working perfectly, I was so happy cuz this is the first one that actually works, after 1 hour of using it, red flickers started appearing on the screen, I restarted, tried different drivers, tried placing it again.. no luck at all . Now I have different colored lines and blinking pixels all over the screen, the background changes colors.. yellow, red, green.. and its not just on windows.. Bios, safe mode, everywhere.. I put my old ATI back and everything is working fine. I'm planning to send it back again to the seller, I attached some pics. I have a 90 w adapter but I dont think its a heating or power problems.

How do you guys think about the Nvidia GeForce 9700M, 9800M, 160M or 260M in a Dell Studio XPS laptop?
I like the fact that Nvidia is constantly updating their drivers and I also like the Hybrid Power and Hybrid SLI features. Most importantly, with an Nvidia GPU, I can turn the SXPS into a hackintosh, making it the PERFECT laptop in the market.
im sturggling with my laptopvideo2go drivers iv tried for days to get it working but the driver and inf file doesnt seem to change it to a geforce card in device manager and therefore gaming performance is terrible

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got a Dell Inspiron 9300. Recently, I flashed my vBios and had to do a blind flash. I've got a flash drive with all of the things needed on it, but I'm not so sure about the ROM. It was the only one I could find on the net, and it hasn't worked so far. I left the flash drive in for almost two hours, and it finally did the two beeps. It was on full auto mode and it didn't restart; it just sat there.
I guess I'm begging someone to send me a default bios for a Dell i9300's go 6800 gpu (NV41, according to dell, not sure if it matters).
Also, for clarification, the "backlight" refers to the monitor emitting a glow while still being blank, yes? Because as it is, the monitor doesn't even come on, much less emit any light.
How crappy is the NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS really? I am using a 7800gtx in my inspron 9300. Just ordered a 1330--- is the 8400 superior to the 7800gtx?
on a related note, is there anyway to upgrade the NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS to a different video card? Is any other nvidia card compatible?
I was thinking of buying this laptop Acer AS5738PG-6306 and wanted to check if the GPU can be upgraded for better gaming?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got an e1705, configured with an ATI x1400.
I bought the nVidia GeForce GO 7900GS to upgrade.
After installing, I get these blocks and pixels during boot (see photo below)
Vista begins to load but never makes it to the logo or login screens. I get a blue Memory Dump message for a split second and then the system reboots.
I reinstalled the x1400 after this happened. I ordered a replacement for the 7900GS but the replacement has the same problem.
This obviously isn't a driver problem since it happens during POST, before any drivers are even loaded.
why this would happen with two different 7900GS cards?
For the record, I'm a Dell Certified technician for the Inspiron series.
I installed a Samsung 840EVO 500GB SSD in my Precision M4400 last weekend. I managed to get it working but it only works in ATA mode. All others modes I tried brought me to the windows splash screen quickly followed by a blue screen that flashed so quickly I couldn't read it before the system rebooted. If I let it reboot it continues to do the same thing over and over. As I understand it I would really benefit from the performance AHCI offers, particularly when running multiple programs at once.
How I might get my drive working in AHCI mode?
