Precision M4400 Owner's Lounge

I don't have any...I believe the people that do, at least one anyway, only had the issue with Vista, not XP or Windows 7. FWIW.

 

Hello everybody!

Finally, I ordered my M4400 today!

I wanted the WUXGA 2CCFL screen but, in the last budget, my sales manager put it WUXGA RGBLED without cost. I must say that this screen doesn't appear on Dell Spain website.

My sales manager said me that RGBLED screen is better choice than 2CCFL (and more expensive!). Really, I don't need 100% color gamut for my tasks but I believe that is better choice and without cost! What do you think?

I have the following specs:

I believe someone mentioned here that even though the M4400 ships with PC2-6400 @ 800MHz, that it can only really run at up to PC2-5300 @667MHz. Is this true? If so, why?

And consequently, which would be faster/better as a 4GB (2X2GB DIMMs) upgrade (assuming same price):

PC2-6400 @ 800MHz, Cas Latency of 5ms
PC2-5300 @ 667MHz, Cas Latency of 4ms

 

The memory should run at 800MHz since it's based on the PM45 chipset. The difference between the two you listed is practically zero. Slight changes in the mMemory speed and latency have little effect in the real world.

 

Thanks @sgogweta, thats what I thought.. The fact of upgrading from 2GB to 4GB will far outstrip any variations in speed/latency.

 

Thanks to all for the thread. I'm looking to replace my years-old Latitude D800, and have read every one of the 1935 messages in the thread over the last couple days.

I'll be purchasing one with minimum RAM and doing an aftermarket upgrade. What 4GB SODIMMs are people using for 8GB total?

 

i believe people are using the G Skill ones from newegg

 

I'm using two Qimonda 4GB modules on my M4400, and the future ex is using two Elpida 4GB modules on her E6400.

 

Did anyone use Slice Battery for their M4400?

I would like to know whether it will block the GPU air vent under the laptop when Slide Battery is inside.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi im using slice, it leaves around 1.5 - 2mm distance so it is not blocking anything, but it is not optimal.
I even use it as a cool slice if i work in my bet or any soft sufrace and it work quite eficiently.
