M6600 Owners Thread

Oops - sorry, didn't think of that

But then again, the AMD driver must have similar controls available.

I played around with catalyst, but was not succesfull. I do think I need a hardware aided calibration if I do any. I just would like to know how that calibration went for the same screen (did it get better visibly).

I have some fear that the calibration data for a quadro 4000 based M6600 will not be compatible with my m8900.

 

m8900 with cad , 3dstudio max and photoshop has problem ?

 

MoldCAD, I've noticed this click on my external speakers through my dock as well, just as you have described.

 

You have the drives backwards imho. You can specify either drive to be the primary boot device. It makes more sense to have the secondary (data) drive as the one that can be removed more easily. This would be the one on the left hand side in this picture. You can remove that drive just by pushing the release latch beside the battery if you want.

 

Is anyone interested in trying out the free Windows 8 Developer Preview on their M6600? If so, this article might be useful:

Please note all the disclaimers.

I'd love to know whether it works.

 

Bokeh, Have you tried to remove the drive like that? I tried it last night..I undid the screw holding the latch, and flipped the lever..it didnt pop out on me. I didnt try anything else.

 

I neither need to remove the SSD nore the HD so I placed the HD in HDD02 because the mechanic hard drive gets warmer than the SSD that is why I placed the SSD near the graphics card.

 

Hey guys, in case anyone is interested I put up my brand new M6600 for sale (never used, taken out of the box for pictures). Specs are below, and I am selling it for $1850 SHIPPED! (Dell retail is $2,359 + shipping & taxes).

And yes, it comes with the AUO screen not the Chi-Mei

Just ran into a problem today... For some reason half my screen is messed up (the left half), I'll try to upload a picture to explain better... ok print screen shows no errors and I can't find a camera

Essentially the left side of the screen is now blue and all text has a white shadow. Images and colors also have shadows to the left of the text/color/image in the opposing colors (blue image has red)... meaning the image looks torn.
