are there any 512mb or higher video cards that work with the inspiron e1505? the reason why is i noticed that with the hightest resultion gives you choppy results when using media center (the dvds play fine) also aparently there are hybrid drives out
[url]
where do you buy them? iwould one of them would solve my video card issue.
band new Y50 with these on board NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2GBIntel Core i7 4700HQ (2.40GHz)8GB Memory 1TB HDD 8GB SSDWhen I got the machine it was partitioned into two drives: Windows8_OS (C 887GB Lenovo (D 24.9GB

I dont see any SSD drive in the eplorer nor in the Computer Management utility. I would like to understand what is stored on my SSD and how to best utilize this for best performance. I may want to run games/OS/applications from the SSD to get that quick read times.
Anybody else wondering why we haven't seen anything coming out with the 8800m Nvidia cards?
Alienware had their big product release 11/19/07 for their new laptops with the 8800m cards then they pulled the link from their website.
Dell, who usually has the newest stuff doesn't mention them.
The boutique vendors like Voodoo pc and Falcon-nw that pride themselves on offering the latest hardware don't offer them. No press reviews in the print.
I've seen one on line mini review of bench marks from a clevo type laptop with an 8800m video card and that is it.
I wonder if nvidia is having a harder time manufacturing the 8800 62 nM cards than they have admitted. It would explain why the standard 8800 video cards are hard to get as well
Tomorrow I will be ordering the Dell Studio XPS 17.3" for 1.5k.
It comes with EVERYTHING I've always wanted such as i7, 1tb HD, blu ray, 6g ram, etc.
My only quarrel is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670.
1) Can this card handle all current games on high/max?
2) Can I upgrade it in the future by swapping it with something better?
We are trying to set up the automatic load for our new X240 laptops. But when we do, the process sees the drive as a sepearate 16GB drive 0 and a 500GB drive 1. Windows 7 doesn't load well on a 16GB drive.
Â
Our M93p desktops also have a hybrid drive, but all our tools and the os loading process just sees 1 500GB drive 0.
Â
why that might be different? Is maybe the drive controller bad, since it's reporting 2 drive instead of one?
whats going on? their whole XPS line is still in last generations video card.... i was looking at Asus, Sager, MSI, Gateway... they're all offering 9800M GTS's and up...

I just got a VGN-Z750D/B which has two graphics cards. (NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS and Intel GMA 4500MHD).
how to switch between the two?
Reformatted drive. Downloaded all necessary drivers from the Dell Website. Reinstalled the following drivers in this order:
1.Notebook System Software
2.Chipset
3.Video Drivers
4.Audio Drivers
5.Quickset
6.Wireless Network Card (Intel R Pro Set)
7.Network Interface card
It will work fine for awhile then all of the sudden it will freeze.
I Googled this, and people said tick Enable Hardware Acceleration to off.
I did so but now the video is slow pretty much all the time. What is causing this? I upgraded my video drivers in the hopes of it solving this problem, but it did not
I might need to put a new hard drive in my daughter's 3 year old E1505. Would it be an SATA drive?

anyone have suggestion on what HD is good for this laptop?
I have an Inspiron E1505 with a Sony DVD+-RW DW-Q58A cd/dvd drive. I THINK I have a firmware/driver issue with it because of a weird problem I've been having lately.
I noticed a couple times when running the DVD-ROM of a new game, the disc spun up really, REALLY loudly. And, the disc won't autoplay (I don't know if that's related to the cd drive or not...autoplay hasn't been working for a while, now). For the most part though, the disc spins-up normally and the game runs just fine. The problem comes up everytime I quit the game -- the screen goes black as if going back to the desktop but seems to freeze .....
I want to upgrade my laptops hard drive. It currently has a Hitachi Travelstar 7200RPM 80GB Hard drive. I want to upgrade to at least 300gb capacity,
preferably not losing out on speed either. Another issue is heat, currently my laptop gets MEGA hot and sometimes even freezes up/slows down (Im pretty sure its because of heat) and I wouldnt want to get a hard drive that runs hotter than the current one.
I dont know whether I need SATA or SATA300, 8MB or 16MB, 2.5" SFF or 2.5"x1/8H. Also, if I got a 5400RPM replacement (effectively downgrading the speed)
would I really notice that much difference ?? I 80% web browse, but the other 20% I video and photo edit and game, and I wouldnt really want to sacrifice performance if it made a big difference.
I am in the process of building a new del on the website, is has really been sometime since I did this and there seems to be alot of new technology that i am not familier with...
the first one is the graphics card.. i have 4 options...
Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD With Express Card
Mobile Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD with PC-Card
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M, 256MB With Express Card
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M, 256MB With PC-Card
i would assume that the following cards have different perfomances, but what is the difference between a Express card and a PC card... and what is the better one to have?
And what card would be better for some gaming.. "i am a command and conquer addict"...
My step-mom is looking into these Dell Studio Hybrid models to replace her old desktop. Any feelings out there on these things?
I'm pretty much a laptop guy but she isn't really concerned with performance as much as how it looks. Basically just needs it for photoshop and to watch DVDs.
I'm currently running 190.40 drivers for my GeForce 9500M on my SXPS13. Before updating to 190.40, clicking the little green NVIDIA tray icon that shows what mode you're running in allowed me to choose my mode manually through the use of two radio buttons.
Currently, I can only switch between "Boost Performance" and "Save Power" by switching power profiles in Windows. Is there some way I can get back those radio buttons without having to go back to the older driver?
it seems alot of people don't seem to understand the workings under SLI and have simply decided that the Hybrid SLI found in their laptop is pretty much useless.. While there is some truth to this it isn't completely true.
As those of you with SLI on your desktops will know, SLI is largely based on 2 things. Game support, and driver support.
By game support I mean some games will darn right refuse to work properly with SLI enabled. Some games may also work with SLI enabled, but show no clear benefits with SLI turned on. And linking in, nVidia have to make profiles for each game in their drivers. If you're up for tweaking it is possible to add your own profiles using nHancer, but then again, how many of you would be willing to do that?
So what I plan on doing, is benchmarking several games to give people an insight into the workings of SLI, what games support it, what games don't, what games need tweaking.. and hopefully based on this you can decide whether it's worth it or not for you in particular .....
Does anyone know whether a 1340 with a 210m GPU has the same hybrid SLI setup as the 9500 configuration, or is it a more conventional discrete GPU that's always active?
View 10 Replies View RelatedThe Nvidia hybrid SLI settings has disappeared from the vista power settings. I've tried and reinstall motherboard and graphics card drivers but it did not help. How do I get it again?
Are there other programs to switch on and off for hybrid sli?
I've had my laptop since June and have not been impressed with the graphics performance of the Hybrid SLI setup.
I installed nHancer for the first time and started tinkering around with stuff and noticed that some of the games I was disappointed in weren't utilizing both GPUs by enabling the SLI Load Balancing Graph (Vsync has to be disabled for this to work).
Upon further tinkering I noticed that for both GPUs to be used, the game profiles had to be modified with "Hybrid SLI mode" set to "1". Thought I'd share this information so everyone can try and get the most out of their computer.
Has anyone got the hybrid to work on a clean installed W7?
I cannot switch from speed to stamina without rebooting.
Anyone have any luck being able to enable their Nvidia card within Linux? I could care less about trying to switch... But I have spent some serious time trying to do it and unfortunately you cannot just turn off the intel graphics card in the BIOS..
