Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge *Part 2*

The 19.55 has a lot of problems to many.

 

Yep..seen that alright on guru3d.com
Although it's running perfectly on my desktop (gtx295+9800gtx) but I'm always hesitant to upgrade my drivers on the m6400..it's not like me tbh
i normally update at the drop of a hat

 

Airblazer, have you installed MW2 in the SSD or in the 500gb drive? I have installed mine in the magnetic drive cause I will change to Win 7 in days coming on the SSD, but still game runs very smoothly at max res.But on SSD should be quicker to load.Btw, the new drivers give multi-core support for this game thus should be a plus for the QX9300, but don't know if the 195.55 give problems to other sections in general.

 

no problems here

 

So far I see no problems other than when dis/connecting from a replicator with DisplayPort monitor attached. This mostly seems to be an issue if the m6400 display has gone into screen saver induced sleep mode. Don't attach with the M6400 screen in sleep mode, don't disconnect the extern monitor or swap to another input on the monitor for so long that the M6400 display goes into screen saver sleep mode. For some reason in these situations you end up with the desktop and windows resized to 800x600.

It still can't do colour calibration on both monitors when in clone mode, but this may be a hardware limitation.

Paul.

 

Yes, I do.

No problem or whatsoever...........

Whats up? Do u have any problem with yours?

 

no no , i want to order it...

noise ? temperature ? good ?

 

I Ordered my m6400 a month ago and now they tell me I will have to wait 3 more weeks to get it due to the lack of a driver for the touchpad in windows 7 64bit. Does this excuse sound logical? Anybody else have their delivery delayed due to the touchpad driver?

I am only going to run windows 7 in a vmware workstation anyway. I will be putting in Linux Kubuntu 9.10 64bit. Just so you know, the kubuntu desktop is absolutely awesome! Better then anything else I have seen including mac, vista and windows 7. Anyway, I am just a Linux fanatic who was forced back onto windows for job reasons and I hated it. It will be good to get back to pure linux again. The m6400 should give the power needed to successfully run windows 7 in vmware. Anybody have experience on this?

 

Low Noise if u set it to quiet in BIOS, temperature is ok, pretty normal, i supposed.

Its very good coz it has Shock Protection whereas the larger 500GB HDD doesn't come with this feature.

But to put a QX9300 M6400 on your lap for a long period of time is insane.....get a notebook cooler, or else something will get burnt........

 

Good to know. I ordered mine two weeks ago and it should come in on the 12th of december. Mine is coming from the same factory as yours (assuming its from the same European outlet) so I hope they get the drivers on time.
