Precision M4600 Owners Lounge

YES ! saving to my DATA partition, wich is on my 500GB HDD, and file format in h264 BR, 1080p

 

Let's try another test : just encode the trailer w/o effect, in AVI uncompressed file format... doing the test right now...

 

Just thinking... are u on battery mode, or adapter ?

I'm on adapter and set power mode to ultra...

 

Ok, encoding test in AVI uncompressed tooks 5'32"

 

6:30. Only other thing I have running is chrome (downloading SPEC benchmarks, 910mbs, so its taking forever.)

 

I've only AE opened...
Wich version of SPEC benchmarks are u downloading ? 3DS Max 9 ?

 

The entire set. I saw iieeann had it posted so I figured I would compare it. Download speed seems to be capped at 64kbps though so its gonna be a while, I gotta head to bed

I'll try rerunning the encoding tomorrow without Chrome on, but I doubt that it'll really change much.

 

I'm downloading it too...

 

Haha, okay I figured it out. I had my power options set to "Power Saver". I didn't realize it didn't auto change back when I plugged it in. Might explain why CAD was acting slow earlier. I changed it to Ultra and this is what I'm getting.

2820QM, 2000M, 16GB 1600MHz
AVI Lossless: 4:36
Gaussian 50 + H.264 Blu-ray: 5:35

 

I have an M4600 on order as my company laptop - hopefully should be here next week to replace my old Latitude D620.

Can anyone tell me if the M4600 has a switchable mic/line input? On the D620 (which uses a sigmatel soundcard), whenever you plugged something into the mic socket, you got a pop-up asking if you wanted to select microphone or line input.
Does anyone know if this feature is also available on the M4600? - Thanks
