M6600 Owners Thread

They work together very well - see the attached grabs; as I said earlier they work on par, nothing special but good enough.

I see no reason why you couldn't configure RAID 1 instead of 0.

I'd like to ask the gurus here about my woes with eSATA port not working; from the article someone has linked to (on the AHCI MS hack), I can deduct problems like this are common when the SATA Operation is set to RAID in the BIOS... But I do have RAID, so cannot change it to AHCI just for the eSATA port to become functional... Any clues, please?

PS How do you upload pics so that they are full size?

PSPS When I say "on par", I mainly mean large sequential data transfers - I need those for reading/writing my high datarate videos.

 

I'm currently using Autodesk Revit and the system is not switching to the Quadro 3000M, it is still running on the Intel graphic card. Isn't the system supposed to adapt automatically to the Nvidia when it detects a 3D program?

 

Hasn't been real smooth. No driver disks were included, just the windows disk and one for webcam software (?). I loaded my Ethernet driver from the (now) E: drive and then downloaded the rest from the Dell site.

They have a 'My Products and Services' section that lets you build a download cart and they are all handled by a download manager...that part worked great. However, it was a little tricky figuring out what I needed exactly...it would be better if they associated drivers with hardware in your build (since they have both bits of information). As it stands I'm probably 85% correct at the moment and will let the rest sort itself out over time.

Just for the records, Poland never really belonged to the "Eastern Bloc"

;-)

 

Hmm... Even though I do have my system SSD minicard constantly backed-up to an external device (as I do my data RAID 0), the idea of having the system disk mirrored on the internal data drive is interesting.

However, would my RAID 0 data drive be accessible from say an USB booting device if the miniSSD failed, before the RAID drivers are loaded?

I don't think so, however I'll listen to any advise in case I'm mistaken

Definately not a Polish one (as I know the stuff). It's Czech: File:Keyboard layout Czech.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BTW: Polish keybord is identical with American one (or nearly identicall).

If I were you I would complain to them as this looks like some kind of a mistake.
I do not even think that Precisions for Czech market are being built in States, so that is really odd.

 

It's identical (with our national characters produced with the right ALT key).

Not true mate.
Maybe not geographically, but politically it's a defo YES. I know I had been living there at the time of "Iron Curtain".

Przemo,

I've lived in PL for the 56 years of my life, and I tell you "NO".

But I don't mean geographically or politically; I mean mentally

I will be installing Revit. Will let you know if I see the same things.
