M6600 Owners Thread

so i assume my dual core 2.7 will only support 1333?

 

This was the 1866 I was looking at: Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1866 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1866C11S3P1K2/8G

This is the 1600mhz I ended up purchasing (x2 for 16gb): Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G
Free antivirus with purchase (wasn't available when I bought it)

This one is $15 cheaper, not sure what the difference is: Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3K2/8GX

There are a few other 2x4GB 1600mhz sticks in their inventory for about $10 cheaper but they all have CAS 11 where as these two are CAS 9.

Good to know, thanks. I wasn't aware of that.

 

Intel® Core? i7-2620M Processor (4M Cache, 2.70 GHz)with SPEC Code(s)SR03F, SR041

Looks like it. Their specs for the 2720 lists 1600.

 

Thanks for all of the memory information. Just read the Intel spec sheet for the 2920XM and it states the CPU supports (1066/1333 and 1600).

It is amazing how much more than MSRP/Full Retail $$$ Dell charges for memory, CPU and HD upgrades. I usually do my own memory and HD/SSD stuffing options because of this.

I am considering the i7-2920XM, with OCZ Vertex 3 SSDs and memory updates.

Just need to decide on a graphics card and I should be set. Wish the M6600 supported 1920x1200 instead of 1080.

 

On that note, I saw this the other day, not sure if its a good deal or not, but you can check it out yourself. OCZ Vertex 3 240GB - $412.24 !!! - Slickdeals.net Also check out the replies as it's slower than the retail box.

 

having a dual core really sucks first i find out i can only use 2 slots of memory, and now i find out it dosent even support the higher speeds. sigh. oh well. i suppose the main thing is an SSD. which i can easily get. that would really be a visible increase in performance

plus i suppose i shouldnt be complaining since it was free

 

Free is good You can always get a new one a few years down the road. How does warranty/support work on your laptop? Are you able to purchase a new warranty or renew it or does it expire when your old system's warranty expires?

 

they gave me a brand new 3 year prosupport warranty!!! dell's support seriously rocks

 

Wow that's crazy. Very cool. I feel like I've been waiting for mine forever. 10 more days if it stays on schedule.

 

what config did you say you ordered?
