    No problem at all.
    Just a tip for optimal results. It's always best to have the additional RAM of the same speed and timings. If the timings/speed are different, then the slowest is used. And, if the faster one doesn't like the specs of the other one, than system stability will be at jeopardy.
    So the day you buy your RAM, make sure they are identical. The brand is of no importance, but still try to get from a reputable brand like Samsung, OCZ, G.Skill, Corsair, Kingston, among others, and avoid value RAM at all cost, no mater what purpose the system is being used as.

    Are you saying it was never updated to say it shipped?

    Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a USB plug on the motherboard, like inside the case, not external? I am thinking of hooking up a small usb device and plugging it and placing it inside the case, I didnt get the WWAN card so thinking it'll fit there, but without a usb plug to run a cord to, then there is no point.

    Sure it did, one day after I get it :) But then again it could have just been a minor system error during the week my laptop was build.. so I don't know. All I am saying is expect a wait of a week or two.


    You have no internal USB connector. The laptop is too thin either way to connect anything inside, let alone room.
    Contact Dell and I am sure you order that WWAN internal PCI-E card.

    Cheers GB, wasnt thinking of putting in the WWAN, just a small USB device in it's place. But with no internal usb, doesnt matter if there is room or not :D

    I'm sure there are sockets which are connected to the USB bus, but you would need to understand the socket configuration and improvise some form of connector.

    Yes the card reader if I am not mistaken, but I saw it, and it's not USB connector. You have to mod the motherboard and hope it work. Also entirely void the warranty, and high risk of permanently damage the motherboard. And I still think there is no room for a USB device, unless it's thinner then the thickness of 2 plastic card.

    There's an update of the Nvidia display driver on their site. The latest one's 186.03. It's mostly bug fixes with some improvements.

    Edit: It's meant for Quadro NVS series, including the 160M in the Latitude, amongst others and it's WHQL.

    It's for all G80, G92 and 200 series GPU's if I am no mistaken. So in other words, Geforce 8000 series, 9000 series, GTX 200 series, Quadro NVS 160M (which is modified (made faster on CAD purposes) Geforce 9300M).
