    Hello friends,
    On this website:

    Studio XPS 16 Laptop Details | Dell India

    On the featured systems, i was thinking of purchasing the second one which has the i7 processor, but i have a few questions before i would like to buy it.

    1) This is a 1645 system meaning that throttling will be there right?
    2) Does installing the A09 BIOS Solve the throttling issue?
    3) Without using throttlestop is there any way to control the throttling?
    4) Is it compulsory that throttling occurs on all the systems or some don't have it?
    5) Will me playing NFS Undercover cause the laptop to throttle?

    Sorry to bombard everyone with questions but i am just curious because i am kinda busy and even searching i get answers but my brain stays confused! Thanks alot guys and hope to hear from you soon. Pls dont flame me!

    It will be hard for anyone to answer your questions because the XPS 1645 was just revised, and has new graphics controller among other possible changes. There is still some throttling with A09 BIOS for current users with the Radeon HD 4670. Nobody has been able to test the new configs with Radeon HD 5650 and 5730.
