Precision M4500 Owner's Lounge

Hi, so from yesterday I have my laptop. I checked memory RAM and this is result. I have in there Two Samsung 4GB moduls 1333 MHz, but they run at 1066 MHz as I said earlier. Dual Cores runs all at 1066 MHz (core i3-i7)

Please can you help me with this?

Is some utility from nVidia for overlocking this Quadro graphic card? And does exist dell quickset software for Precision M4500? that's all, thank's

Today I will upload my video review on Youtube

 

overclock the video card ? why ?

 

I want to try something :-D my friend does have too this laptop and he overclocked FX880 without increase in temperature.

Core Shader's Memory
Standard 550 MHz 1210 MHz 790 MHz
Overlocked 650 MHz 1450 MHz 940 MHz

I asked him, but he told me, that he forget how I mean utility or driver

 

do you guys know how much my precision M4500 is worth? I am thinking of selling it since i hardly use this laptop. Everything works perfectly ran system testing tools and burn ins. I mostly use my HTPC and this machine get placed in the closet.

how much is the biggest SSD who i can put in the mini pci express slot ?

there are new models who can compare with ssd like corsair f120 - intel g2 and ocz vertex 2 ?

 

It looks like it might fit and work, seems to have about the same dimensions (I don't know about thickness), but the question is: Is it the same electrical interface or not. It's a moot point for now as it seems the drive is being sold OEM only. But I'd love to have something bigger than 64GB in that mSATA slot.

 

where can we have those little drives in europe , i have an hp 8540w but so many issues that a refurb can be done and i'm relly looking at the precision with the eye of the predator !!

this double ssd option (as i have an intel alreday ) is a big plus but the offer i have comes with a regular drive , so i have to buy the small one on my own but where ???????????????????

 

I have ordered one from Lambdatek (UK) and was hoping to confirm it worked with the M4500 yesterday. Unfortunately the delivery driver was a dumb and took it firstly to the wrong house (25yds away) then took it back to the depot. Will report back today when it's redelivered after I gave them a slap over the phone.

 

It's changning all the while but I believe your options are Samsung 64gb (hard to come by), Intel 310 SSD 80gb, and the Renice 120gb offering. The Renice is Sandforce-based so ought to have the edge on the Intel drive.

I decided to hedge my bets and stick with Intel, and I can use the same SSD Tools that I have installed for the X25 in the main drive bay. The Renice is probably fine, I just hadn't heard of them before, and have been bitten by unknown SSDs in the past.

 

if i install one mini pci-e...it is bootable ?
