    Hi,
    I just got my new 600m from Dell today. It's an awesome deal for 750 bucks..

    there are some problems I'm running into.. hope you guys can help.
    1) The graphics are very pixelated.. all pictures are as if i'm zooming in on them.. not smooth at all..
    2) Ran CPUz on the laptop.. to check the CPU speed. The core speed came up as 599 MHz.. hw can I set my laptop do that it runs at the maximum speed ALL the time.. (it was plugged in when I performed the test)

    Thanks in advance..

    1) Are you running at 1400x1050 resolution? For some reason, I don't know why but the i600m only looks crisp on that resolution.

    2) Use a program called SpeedSwitchXP - just Google it and it should be the first website that comes up. I use this program to set it so that when I'm on AC (plugged into the wall) I run at max performance while on DC (battery) I run at a dynamic speed. This saves your battery without jeopardizing performance.

    Hope this helps.
