M6600 Owners Thread

It is very similar to a standard keyboard with the addition of the liquid resistant membrane under each key and the respective LED's. Be gentle in a stern way getting the key off then clean the membrane to restore the resistance of the key.

I think, that Dell has used too low frequency that's why I "feel it" (this is the reason that I'm asking for it). Camera picture is strong proof for it and it could be probably fixed by simple BIOS update. Do you confirm it ?

 

I got an ATI card and wondering if I can enable integrated GPU somehow (for power savings). Dell reps after going through many hops said that this feature available only on laptops with nVidia card. Which is weird, since CPU is not part of video card... Something simple as switching in BIOS would be enough for me, but there are no settings for this in BIOS at all.

 

Need some help with memory here. I have purchased 2*4 8GB of Corsair CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9-9-9-9-24 memory to increase my mem to 16GB. The Memory supplied with M6600 is Hynix HMT351S6CFR8C 12800S-11-11-F3
Will these work together and will I be throttled back much by the Corsair.
I mainly do software compilation, video, photos and Virtual Machines.

 

It would be the board on the LCD panel itself controlling the LED sync timing based on the setting level dictated by the core system. So, in a way, it is not Dell beyond the "batch" of panels they are using. The newer/late 2011 AUO panels seem to be fine. I have not tested any LG recently.

Currently, the BIOS (and system board interface) only supports the NVIDIA based (Optimus) switching methodology so there is no way to force AMD[ATI] switching.

Thank you for quick response. Do you know if this is something that could be "fixed" by new BIOS or this is hardware limitation? If this is BIOS, I might start annoy dell reps so they push programmers to add this feature to the BIOS.

 

Yes, they should work as you will have a pair of each flavor, but the Corsair CAS latency will be slowed down to match the 11ns of the Hynix. This is not a big difference, but does technically degrade performance. I suggest getting another pair of the Corsair when you can so all the memory is matched and working 100%.

Stoooooth, with regards to the last post I made about the Corsair memory I have purchased. I have loaded a series of 45meg Canon 7D RAW files with the Hynix memory installed and the average load is 1-2 secs. I have done the same with the Corsair and it is 10-11secs. I think it speaks for itself unless I am missing something?

 

I also had no love from Dell with the PSQN number 215517, the rep I got seems to think it's supposed to be associated with my particular service tag. They want to replace my LCD.
