Latitude E6400 Owner's Lounge, Part 2

It does, but the Lenovo and Dell's version of it doesn't.

Well.. any graphic card that was released after 2006 (well Geforce 8 series and newer), supports CUDA.

If Dell drivers don't support it, than just use Nvidia Geforce/Quadro Mobile driver. They BOTH (Mobile Geforce and Mobile Quadro's) work with the Quadro NVS 160M.

 

wrong. the people on that forum are confused. the original DRIVER didn't support it. there is nothing different on the hardware. the person that said that is misinformed. I have spoken to NVIDIA directly on this issue, near the release. the reason for the initial Nvidia lack of dell and lenovo OEM support was a legal licensing matter which dell finally rectified some months later.

 

Makes sense, thanks for setting the record straight.

 

Well, it shipped and I found out why it was sent back to Dell (the one I will get).

According to the system, it was sent back to a cracked LCD out of the box. So from what I read, its basically a brand new machine.

Now I know what to look for when I get the system.

 

I am sure that Dell fixed (replaced) the LCD and put it on the outlet. That is what refurbished it... it's a broken system that was fixed. They kinda don't change part(s), if they are small scratch though... just if a/some part is/are broken or some crazy deep scratch.

 

I saw the service manual for the LCD replacement and its not that bad, but you really could break the snaps off easily. I'll check it out and if it has any issues, I will just get another bezel from Dell and do it myself...no big deal.

 

my pleasure

 

New touchpad driver out.

Nice...

Anyway I received the laptop and sure enough, it has a cracked LCD bezel

Chatted with dell and they are sending someone to replace it. The person that fixed the LCD tried to hide it by letting it "blend" in with the rest of the bezel, but I saw it as soon as I opened the lid.
