M4700 Owners Thread

Yup.

Has anyone upgraded the M4700 to a Nvidia GTX 680M card?

 

AFAIK, the 680M is only available in the MXM 3.0b form factor which means it is too large to fit in the M4700 which has a MXM 3.0a slot. It will work in the M6700 though.

 

Thank you, time to keep an eye on Dell Outlet for M6700 now.

 

What version of Dell Webcam Central does the M4700 with? I'm looking for version 2.x to install on my M4600. If the M4700 comes with version 2.x, I would appreciate if someone would upload it for me.

 

tijo thanks for your fast response

And have those rams below so much difference which justifies the difference in price?
pros and negs?

1,35V vs 1,5 or any real life difference?

thanks in advance

 

A07 Bios is up on the drivers download page.

 

so can someone clarify if a 9.5 mm drive can be used in the optical drive bay with one of the HD caddy's that replace the DVD drive ?

Seems to be some who say yes and others say no

 

Hello,

I have installed latest nvidia drivers (nvidia K2000m), but I am unable to get openCL support working. Could anyone help me?

Thanks

 

I picked up an M4700 from the Dell Outlet. I wish it had a Dreamcolor screen like my HP 8740w, but other than that impossible dream, I'm very pleased .... but puzzled by one thing. In BIOS, under hard drives, RAID is selected. Came from Dell that way. The machine has one SSD. Is having RAID rather than AHCI, correct for the HDD interface? If not, what happens if I select AHCI and reboot? I've backed up an image with Acronis, and could restore after selecting AHCI.
