Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge *Part 2*

yep..I'm putting all my games on the SSD drive.
I tend to uninstal games I only play once or twice and leave on games like COD/BF2/Grid etc.

MW2 runs flawlessly on it..

 

Mine is comming from Ireland. I assume also that all dell computers for Europe come from there. The salesman said the driver should be there now on Friday but my official delivery date is moved to Dec 15.

 

I have issues with youtube and other flash based video platforms, the image is heavily pixelated.

 

Anyone uses a Dell 3007WFP-HC monitor with the M6400? Trying to find a Dual Link DVI to Display Port cable. I currently use a Single DVI to DP. ThanX

looks like you need the docking station..

 

Thank you, I had already posted there at the last page. But indeed Dell has just made this cable (i think in less than a month ago) so i am very happy and will try to order it.
You made my day! (I was waiting 1+ year for it)..plus rep!

 

Where can I find some info on how the media jog touchpad features work? I'm aware of the docs at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/wsm6400/en/index.htm but didn't see any info on the jog feature there. Thanks!

 

This is the part number. XT625
(Video cable, Display Port to Dual-link DVI-I (allows Dual-link DVI-I monitor to connect to the display port connector on notebook or docking station) )

 

In my search to understand SSDs (it's a whole different ballgame than spinning disks) I ran across this instruction that I sort of understand but have no idea how to find out which number the 6400s tuned to. How do I find out the following: Check if your SATA II is actually performing at 3mbs or clocked down to 1.5mbs So how do I do that? And if it's 1.5 is there any way to change it to 3?

It's not an option from the motherboard.
There's normally a jumper setting on the hard drive.
Easiest way is as follow...do a read test on your SSD (only works if your SSD is faster than 150megs/sec.)
If it is then it's running at Sata 2 speeds. If not possible this could be a root cause.
Sata1: 150meg/sec read or write
Sata 2: 300meg/sec read or write.
