Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge *Part 2*

In the US, the same machine with the i7 was 800 usd more. Out of my budget.

 

I'm getting an M6400 Covet that has dual 500GB drives in it. I want to get some X25-M 160GB SSDs to throw into it. Will I be okay getting the OEM bare drives or will I need any connectors/adapters to make the upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

 

as long as you get a standard 2.5" 9.5 mm thick SSD you will be fine

 

Got it today... Love this thing!!! Kicks my T61p's Arce!

 

I’ve been a Thinkpad user for many years, and have come to believe (correctly or incorrectly) that the keyboards on the ThinkPad’s are really much better than much of what is out there. I’m weighing the purchase of a M6500 Covet, but as I can’t try the keyboard out at a store anywhere I’m concern about buying an expensive machine that I really don’t feel comfortable using. I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has used the ThinkPad keyboards and either the M6400/M6500 keyboard or the HP Elitebook keyboard. How was the transition? Thank you in advance.

 

On the information panel of the video card ATI gives me master clock 650 MHz and 832 MHz memory clock in M6500... but should not have a memory clock of 1000 MHz? Does it keep the same clock as m6400?

 

I have had 2 think pads and now have a n M6400. I would pick the M6400's keyboard as it doesn't have the flex that the thinkpad did. Not that the thinkpad had much, the M is just really solid.

 

I have a problem i am downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia for quadro cards but the issue i have is that I whenever i am playing games this evening the mouse doesn't come up why is that?

 

Maybe your mouse needs batteries. Or one of several dozen other things. What OS are you talking about? Do the drivers on the Dell driver page work OK? And if the Dell driver works, what are you trying to achieve changing it? Your question is a bit vague, ya know.

Its not the mice i own two of them, g500 gaming mouse and the new anywhere mouse. I tested both out, Yes the drivers i have used work fine, i am running windows 7 Pro 32 bit. Well my friend does all the OS reinstalls and i know he put the nvidia quadro drivers on here. The machines fans at times do get loud and very warm. Sorry if it a bit vague. I just don't understand why this is happening for?
