Dell :: P9600 Vs T9550
Feb 11, 2009Im 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.
Dell :: Is There A Difference Between P9600 And T9600?
Sep 7, 2009I recently got an XPS 1640 as a replacement for my M1530 and in the order details, it says the processor is a P9600 but when i run a dxdiag on my laptop,
it says my processor is a T9600. Are they the same thing?
Sony :: Vaio Z P9600 2.66Ghz
May 27, 2009At the beginning, I love the Silent Mode since it's making the Z fan to turn off more often and therefore offering me a really peaceful silent environment.
However, when I tried to open program or decode datas, the CPU would only go as high as 2.1Ghz.
I would have to switched the Termal Control back to Balanced Mode to get the maximum speed of 2.66Ghz back

Problem is i am now on the verge of buyers remorse so i am asking for a little input on my choice. I would really like the input of you guys who have been around Laptops for a while.
Dell 17R SE 7720 :: BIOS Will Not Allow Access Unless HDD Pulled
Jan 20, 2013I have been having numerous problems with the BIOS where it will not allow boot device additions, required two power-ups to boot W8, and finally today I can not even get into the BIOS A12 (latest) with F2 or F12. Pushing F2 and F12 was completely ignored by the BIOS as it would only boot W8, even though it worked fine until yesterday.  I finally had to pull the hard drive to get the BIOS to give up and let me in.Â
Seems to have a mind of its own but it did present the BIOS menu. I had no problem using F2 & F12 on BIOS versions A10, A11, A12 before today except A12 did delete all the boot device priorities when initially loaded a week ago. That glitch caused the two power-ups everyone is starting to see. The two power-ups are gone now but I need access occasionally for DVD's. Seems like there is some type of adaptive "smart" (I call it "dumb") strategy in the BIOS that really confuses us users to the point where I am wasting way too much time chasing phantoms.
 The really big problem is that there are zero (none) Manuals with this computer. The maintenance disassembly manuals are even gone. No one has any write-up of how the BIOS is supposed to operate? Dell explain how this BIOS is to be used to add boot devices? Pulling HDD's is not the answer for most users as we are just going to wear out the HDD electrical bus connector when you want to boot a legacy MBR ( or an .ISO) DVD.
If you already have BIOS A10 installed. Version A10 was the last unlocked BIOS while  A11 and A12 are locked right up and very unpredictable in behaviour. Deleting A10 and the maintenance manuals from the download site is pretty vicious on Dells part in my mind. The maintenance manuals were called "Owners" or "User" Manuals of which the obvious intent was to cover up there are no real owners manual to explain the basics like the Function Keys to get into the BIOS and use it.Â
HP/Compaq :: Just Pulled The Trigger On AnDV2z
Jul 21, 2009I just ordered a new HP DV2z notebook and was wondering what everyone/anyone thought about it. I liked the Netbook size with Notebook qualities/performance/etc. Seems like it should work pretty well for what I intend to use it for (no gaming really, just word processing, surfing, some excel/access/etc). What do you think?
Specs of computer are:
• Espresso Black
• Windows Vista Home Premium w/sp1 (64-bit)
• AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core Mobile L625 Processor (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
• 4GB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
• 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive w/ HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 512MB ATI Radeon HD Premium Graphics 3410 - For L625 Processor and Vista Premium
• 12.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
• Webcam Only
• Wireless-G Card
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• External LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVD+/-RW w/Double Layer
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
I'm thinking that sounds pretty good compared to my four year old IBM T42p (2.1ghz single-core Intel processor with +-512mb RAM, 80gb HD, etc)... I'm a little worried about the slower (1.6ghz) processor speed but I am thinking the 4gb RAM + dual core processor should compensate for that..?
Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T510 Won't Boot Up (black Screen) After HDD Pulled Out And Put Back Again
Nov 22, 2014I've just out my hdd to check whether the ssd will fit there, just checked whether the slot is ok. Then I put back the original HHD very carefully. After that I opened the extra RAM slot, took it out and put it back, also VERY carefully. I didn't harm the laptop in any way.
Then IÂ turned the computer on and it was just a black screen, nothing happening. No indicators lighted up, except for power button. I cannot enter BIOS, no response whatsoever.

Oct 19, 2009I'm about to get an studio XPS 16 and have a couple of questions regarding the components. I'm debating between the core i7 1.6 GHz with 6mb cache and the core i7 1.73 GHz with 8mb cache (the difference would be $350).
Also I was wondering if there was a major difference between the WLED and RGBLED screens? Finally, how much ram memory should I get, 4gb or 6gb? I'm just surprised that going from 4 to 6 costs $300.
Dell :: Which Processor For 14z
Jul 19, 2009I'm trying to decide if I should get the t4200 or the p8600. Is there going to be any noticeable difference for normal usage? I don't plan on playing any games or anything. Is it worth the $175 upgrade? I'm going to use it for watching HD videos, music, etc.
View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: Which Processor On XPS 1647?
Jan 21, 2010I've been stalking the XPS 1645/1647 for a while now hoping that the overheating/under clocking issues get resolved. I'm to the point now where I just need to roll the dice and make one of these work for me.
Currently I work off of a Mac Book Pro (latest unibody) with the 3.06 GHz processor upgrade and the 256 SSD upgrade and 4GB RAM. I do primarily web design (.NET, WordPress, etc.), so I stay in Windows (via Bootcamp) most of the time or work on my Sony Vaio Z. I was waiting for the Bootcamp upgrade to come out in hopes that it would help the hardware cope with Win7 better. Well, it came out a couple of days ago, and it did help, but it's still lacking in a few ways.
My question is around the processor. My everyday activities, making up 80% of my day, are fairly light with the exception of Adobe Creative Suite apps and Microsoft Visual Studio, but I do a decent amount of video processing. I am looking for the most power available without sacrificing battery life. If I understand the processor options correctly, that would be the i7-620M. How would that processor compare to the i5 540M in terms of speed and battery life? I have read that the i5 is "newer technology" and "should" be more efficient than the i7's.
Dell :: Processor Shimming
Oct 1, 2009I've read the threads on adding a copper pad with arctic silver in place of the junk stock thermal gum found in most laptops.
Is it possibly to lower the heatsink assembly instead of adding a shim? I feel that a CPU-arctic silver-heat pipe connection would be way better than a CPU-artic silver-shim-artic silver-heat pipe connection.
Also, is the 1mm rule a solid number or just a guesstimate? I've got a Studio 1737, Inspiron 9300, Vostro 1500, and Vostro A90 that all could benefit from this, I just don't want to mess it up.

Sep 11, 2009Well my bugets limited and i'm having a hard time choosing between
Upgrading from a
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache)
to a
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)
Or upgrading from a
15.6in Widescreen High Definition (1366x768) WLED with TrueLife
to a
15.6in Widescreen Full High Definition (1920x1080) WLED with TrueLife
I wish I could afford both but i'm afraid it has to be one or the other.
Do you think a 2.0Ghz processor would be enough for general usage, some photoshop and 3d work, and some middle-ish demanding games.
Or would the 1080p screen be a benefit even though I will not be getting a blu-ray drive. I could always use a HDMI cable to connect to my TV though.

Dell :: Processor Upgrade
Mar 3, 2009if it is possible to upgrade my Studio 1535's processor (Intel C2D T5750, 2.0GHz). I cheaped out on most of the parts when I first bought this thing, as I was somewhat strapped for cash, so I went with the bare-minimum processor, but now I think I can do better.
So, is it possible to replace my processor? If so, what are some compatible models? I'm looking for at least 2.4GHz, for the record.

Mar 14, 2010I was looking through some of my spare parts the other day and I came across a Pentium M 2.13GHz processor I removed from an old laptop I had a while back. The only problem is it was just thrown in a drawer with some other laptop parts, where its sat for about a year.
I was just wondering if anything bad could come from using it in my laptop since it hasn't been stored in ideal conditions. I looked at it pretty closely and there don't appear to be any bent pins or anything.
Dell :: Which Processor Do You Recommend?
Feb 23, 2009I'm thinking about getting a Studio XPS 16, but I'm not sure about the processor. Is there much difference between the P8400 (3MB cache/2.26GHz/1066Mhz FSB) and the T9400 (6MB cache/2.53GHz/1066Mhz FSB).
The difference in $$ is $150 but don't know if it's worth it.
I'll be using it for some photo editing, work and college.
Dell :: WIN 7 And Co-processor Issue

1) Coprocessor -- says no drivers are installed for this device and cannot find anything (online or on the dell driver CD) to update.
2) "Unknown device" -- doesn't give any info as to what this is except that it's on the PCI bus.
