I am looking for ward to a new system preferably on a 32nm die, will they get here by Christams 2009 or are they delayed? I know The back to school season is used to get rid of old back stock and NOT to launch "new" products.
I figured pulling the trigger on an RGB LED screen and 45nm CPU Monetveniea and 4GB DDR2 was a good start.
I am looking forward to
-32nm from Intel offered by DELL (or others)
-DDR3 of course
- USB 3.0 (maybe some desktops have it)
there both quad cores, heres the links for both. please help me decide on a quad core q9000 or quad core I7-720QM. these are the 2 im looking at : links:

or

So im looking at one with an 18.4" screen an one with a 17.3" screen. one has blu-ray burner and one no blue ray. one is q9000 quad an the other is i7 quad core. i don't know which is best.
I think the dell tech who was supposed to replace the heatsink also disabled 2 of my cores on my corei7 quad. On cpuz it is only showing up as 2 and same with on device manage
View 10 Replies View RelatedI do half an hour of normal browsing (no youtube or flash videos) like check my bank account, visit few forums, check email etc. and my MBA's CPU cores max out while the temp stats at 65-68C, I regularly monitor it with iStat. To remedy this problem, I put it to sleep for a minute or two and the air is ready to use for next half an hour.
In the past it had two problems, once when it's fan stopped spinning i.e. stayed at 0rpm and second time when it's lcd developed white spots in the middle of the screen. Apple fixed both under warranty.
Planing on upgrading my Aspire 5100 with a dualcore cpu,is there anyway of using both cores on software that is not specially written for it?
Does the ZM-85: 2300 MHz work to? It says S1 sockel.
I noticed it was running really really hot, almost painful to hold your fingers against the rear fan vent. So I ran SpeedFan and sure enough the temps were whacked out:
1st core at reasonable temps (30ish)
2nd core from 65 - 90!
I tried following the disassembly guide for the DV2xxxx series here to take a look at the heatsink contact and fan but I got stuck at the logic board. (One of the disconnected WLAN antenna cables is impossible to fish out from the chasis, and after removing all connections, the logic board refused to budge fully)
So I just went nuts with compressed air on the exposed parts of the fan/heatsink, but that only helped a bit, temps on that core were still at a constant 65+ but the other core was at 30-35 and all other components were at okay temps...
I have HP pavillion dv6, 3 years old. For last two days, my PC is really hot at 100C, or 90C at idle, all cores are 100% working. I have closed all applications but still no use. below are the images of processes running. I have no application running.

Looking at task manager I see cpu speed fixed a 0.77 GHz and looking at resource monitor I notice only CPU 0 with any load the other 3 cores appear ideal (disabled?)
Power plan is set to performance and is on main power.
I play alot of Rts games and right now i only have a 2.4 ghz witch isnt sufficent for Empire Total War. Is it possible to put a quad in here? I know it voids the warranty but i will put origonal in if i have to make a warranty claim.
View 10 Replies View Relatedassuming that the processor on the m1210 is not solder, would it be possible to switch the processor to a quad core? they are the same pin size and i think if i some how i find a better cooling system and bump the power it might work, but maybe this sounds TOO simple to do. i currently have the 2.0ghz t7200 cpu. let me know what you guys think. will the bios recognize and run (also stable)?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been a Dell guy for probably around 8 years or so. I always buy the XPS's for the power / warranty / ruggedness. Now I find myself searching for a different manufacturer as they seem to be pricing themselves out of the market with second tier components.
Someone here mentioned the PC MicroWorks Blackhawk XR5 Quad Core and I took a look at it. This thing reminds me of what I used to expect from the XPS line.
Is there a subforum on notebookforums.com to discuss this product?
If not, I'm happy to do it here.
Anyone have any experience with this company?
I've seen a number of rescent posts where folks are still setting up RAID platforms even though dual core and now quad core processors are becoming mainstream.Is it the additional chipset that you demand or what is it that requires the additional hp you seek? there is no game out there I cannot play without it and short of CAD I see little use other than proffesional requirements (NIMBUS 2.1 or Zach, perhaps).

I recently bought a QX9200 off ebay that I plan to put in the revised SXPS 16 when it comes out.
Have anybody tried to install one of those mobile quad core processors in 1530? Is it even possible because of the higher thermal/power requirements
View 9 Replies View RelatedCan this be done without a new motherboard or special heatsink? I originally wanted to do with the an HP 8530w but as the dual-core mobo is not compatible with the quad mobo it's no longer an option for me. Is the m4400 constructed in a similar fashion? or did Dell opt for a universal mobo?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been pulling out my hair to figure out if it is possible to improve the processor performance of my Studio XPS 16. I did a significant amount of research before buying this Dell model and, all in all, I am happy with my decision. However, I have noticed that the processor is not as capable as the Q9000 that was in my Asus W90 that I sold.
That was the beginning of my research on the chipset (PM45) and socket type (P: 478) of the Studio XPS 16. This matches the Intel Quad Cores and, more specifically, this particular one: INTEL CORE QUAD Q9200 2.4GHZ 12M 1066 CPU.
Dell told me that these Quad Cores are not compatible with the Studio XPS 1640.
I just got my new dv7t quad laptop and when i turn the laptop back on from sleep the fingerprint reader is not detected. so when i go to type in my password manually the screen flickers about every 2 seconds and resets the cursor to the beginning so it makes typing my 16 character password a , i usually have to just restart.
Also i ordered a bluray player and installed that into my laptop but the hp mediasmart software wont play the movies. i ended up getting a trial software for 30 days but i dont plan on spending another 50 bucks on software when hp should have software i can use with this laptop.
Are they both sharing the same CPU ?

This model has customized & quick-ship option.
I notice the customized version is fitted with Geforce GT 320m - For i7 processor (no other option), while the Quick-Ship model is fitted with GT230m WITH Physx.
I've heard about Physx before, and I always think it is another component bought separately (at least for PC desktop 1-2 years ago). So, is this Physx processor always present with all Geforce GT230m & 320m series, or does HP actually fit this additional processor as a bonus ?
I look on NVidia's technical specs for 320m & 230m, and Nvidia specifies that they are both Physx-ready. What does "READY" mean here ? Ready to be fitted with an optional Physx feature, or does it mean both have already integrated the Physx into 320m & 230m ? ...or do I misunderstand something ?
Surprised to see the pricing of Studio 1558.
i do not understand why dual core i5 processor studio is costlier than quad core i7 studio ?
Is the quad raid 0 512Gb on the Z the fastest setup in the laptop/mobile world?
How does it compare to the 512GB SSD setup on the new MBP or even the Alienware 15x and 17x?
I asked this on the Alienware forum; but nobody truly knows much other than that the alienware would demolish the Z and that the ssd on the Z is a dual setup like the mbp and alienware. I know its a quad setup, but is it the fastest option availble?
I was under the impression tht it was, and it would be extraordinary on such a tiny laptop.
Realizing that my computer is now a little over 2.5 years old, I had a little time to think about whether I should even think about going over to a brand new notebook. Given the specs of new notebooks these days (and a lot of people know here that I spend quite a bit of time at the HP website/FTP), I was wondering what everyone here thinks about me going for a Quad Edition notebook.
In case you're wondering, I use my dv6500t notebook extensively mainly because I am a UCSD Computer Science/Engineering student who does a lot of activities on the computer both casually and for work, for a good portion of the day, everyday. If I get a new notebook, I plan on using it extensively as well.
The specifications for the dv6500t that I currently use is listed in my sig. It additionally has a 12-cell battery which at this moment can only charge up to 58%, and a rather broken left TouchPad button. Warranty is pretty shot at this point, since I had the 1-year standard (which I have no regrets with).
Now, the Quad Edition notebook that I was specifically looking at was the pre-customized HP Pavilion dv6-2190us notebook:...........
how hot can my hp dv7t quad get. I have the 4 cores at about 50 degrees c. and my video card is at about 44. Should i be worrying about these temps. I used hwmonitor for this data.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to share my experience on undervolting my HDX 18t 1103EA, Intel Quad 9000-2Ghz, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 9600M GT-1gb, Vista x64. After reading and trying the undervolting guide (thanks to flipfire), I couldn't make rmclock to work. Anyway because Q9000 has only 4 multipliers: 6x, 6.5x, 7x and 7.5x and rmclock does not support half ones, I decided to try CrystalCPUID. It can do only three ones and I choose 6x, 7x and 7.5x. I managed to go down to 1.163- stable on all three. CrystalCPUID would not allow any lower than that, although according to Intel Q9000 lowest voltage is 1.050. Strange enough both CPU-Z and Everest show that this the actual voltage when CrystalCPUID is active. Also when it is not active the cpu works only on the highest multiplier- 7.5x. My idle temp didn't really changed- it is always around 48C-55C (no AC in my room). I tried to buy CpuGenie (10 euro is nothing for some extra life on a 1300 euro mashine, but paypal asks for registration and I don't want to register.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI will be receiving a dv6t Quad edition soon. I am planning to replace the original HDD with a SSD. The original HDD will go in a external eSATA enclosure.
Questions/comments:
- Are there any step-by-step guides out there for replacing the HDD?
- I have read in forums that doing a fresh install on SSD is better than cloning your existing drive. Is that correct?
- In case of any issues with the installation on SSD, I can always put the original drive back in.
- If I dont delete the MBR on the original drive, will it create an issue in the external enclosure along with the new MBR on the SSD?
I guess I spoke to soon about my system being perfect (except for the hard drive cover issue that has now been corrected.)
My keyboard is kinda strange. The keys from the middle of the keyboard, all the way over to the right are good and feel solid...even the housing the keys sit in is very solid. HOWEVER...
From the middle of the keyboard all the way to the left side of it when I type the housing that the keys sit in is not solid...it has 'flex' to it...and is actually quite loud when typing in that area. Is this normal or do I have a bad keyboard? God I can hear it now "please return your system to HP to replace your keyboard"...
I'm sure it's very easy to remove it and change it but they will insist that I send it in. Why can't they be more like Dell when it comes to parts that are easily user replaceable?
