Latitude E6510 Owner's Lounge

Thanks John. I looked at the "Packing Slip" and found a part number "T2GH6" with the description "Intel HD Graphics for Latitude".

I then googled "T2GH6" and came across this link DELL One Time Use Coupons - No offers to buy/sell/PayPal coupons - Page 3 - SlickDeals.net Forums .

If you search "T2GH6" on this page you will find that this person has FHD screen, so seems like the same part is used for all the resolutions. What do you think?

Thanks!

 

I'm 99.999% sure that there are only 2 motherboard types: Ones with Intel graphics and ones with Nvidia graphics. For Dell to have different board types depending on the display resolution would make their inventory management much more complicated. The Intel GPU can handle resolutions higher than the FHD internal display.

Thanks for the quick one!

 

So ... I received my new system exchange, from what I can tell it is identical in the build. so why does it have a Windows Experience Rating .2 lower? is this possible? its like that in a few catagories... Memory is one of them. the original system is Win Pro 7 32 Bit, new came the same, then I installed Win 7 Pro 64bit, and it scores the same ... 4.7 vs 4.9

New system scores vs old OVERALL 4.8 VS 4.9
processor 7.0 VS 7.0
RAM 7.3 VS 7.5
Graphics 4.8 VS 4.9
gaming graphics 5.9 VS 5.9
primary hd 5.9 VS 6.2


SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG??

 

Are both WEI scores using the same version of Windows? My E6410 came with Win 7 32 bit for which the CPU scored 6.6 and the memory 7.2. I then installed Win 7 64 bit and the CPU score went up to 6.8 while the memory dropped to 6.8. Trying to understand how WEI works out its scores is a challenge!

Is Freefall something that's on the drive (meaning you need a special kind) or is it something that's in the computer (where you can use any drive and it be protected)?

 

My GPU tweak tool, provides WEI benchmark details, even if you don't have an Nvidia GPU (It's the only option that will option that will be available bellow the "Graphic card not-supported" message.
Demo: WEI Score

The reason for the higher CPU score, is because when you use a 64-bit OS unlocking your 64-bit CPU, not only you have longer instructions, but also have more operation codes, to allow to process it's instruction faster.
Moreover, having a OS "lighter" (as it's in 64-bit), makes the computer improve performance, so the benchmark provides better result.

As for the memory, probably the test they use has to do with the memory address length (bad benchmark algorithm), as it's now longer.
Or, most likely, a motherboard driver optimization issue. As a laptop is not considered a gaming system (even though they are some laptop that are), or powerful workstations, chipset manuafacture (Intel, in this case), closes their eyes on extreme optimization.

 

The HDD has a storage mechanism for the head, so that the head doesn't hit the paters and breaks the HDD. When you power it off, or idle the head goes away from the plates, and some models have a sensor to detect fast motion drop, which will make the head stop what it's doing and retract it self away from the plates. Western Digital has an animation for their desktop HD with similar feature (without the sensor part.. but you understand the principal)

Roll over the brown thing on the picture. It looks something like that. Here it's used differently, but it's just to show how it works.

 

The new E series have a free-fall sensor integrated on the motherboard so there's no need to buy a HDD which contains the sensor. If the computer senses a sudden movement then it will command the HDD to park the heads.

New as in the newer E6x10s, not the E6x00s.
