M6600 Owners Thread

anyone know where i can buy a backlit keyboard?

 

Ouch, I was thinking that was a good deal. No wonder. I guess the saying is true, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

I purchase my computer from Dell or from bricks and mortar stores. Luckily, I never have to deal with stolen computer before. Ouch.

 

I just got my order in for the M6600 and cancelled my previous order.

M4600's 2000m didnt have enough power for things i needed.

Anyways, what can 32GB of ram can do? Mine is coming with the 32GB....

 

32Gb of ram can do twice as much as 16GB

 

I just bought one from Dell Parts and it was delivered via UPS within a couple of days. Cost 48 squids all in. (squids = UKP)

 

Before my work installed it's corporate image onto the m6600, I had the n-trig virtual keyboard widget tucked as a flyout keyboard. I could use the Dell pen to write and type letters. After my work installed the corporate image I don't see it anymore. I first updated with the Dell n-trig driver and still wasn't able to enable it. I then uninstalled it and downloaded latest driver (6.85) from n-trig. Still no virtual keyboard.

I am running 64bit windows 7.

 

I mis-wrote that. If you really try hard to optimize for battery, it CAN hit 3.5 Hours but on average, it is more like 2.5 actually.

 

May I ask a favor to those who have the 4000m?

My card seems to be malfunctioning, and I want to give the old vBIOS flash a go before I call up a dell technician. Can anybody provide me with the Dell vBIOS file for the Quadro 4000m?..

Thanks...

 

Dumped via GPU-Z v0.5.6, let me know if it does the trick for you. If needed I can boot into dos from a flash drive and dump it from there in case GPU-Z is not reliable.

Ps, haven't updated my signature in ages, the bios comes from my 4000m in my M6600

EDIT: This m6600 is 2 weeks old so the Quadro 4000m bios should be the most recent, atleast the subvendor ID is Dell (1028)

 

Thanks Sunksat, I will try it today and see if that could get it to work..
