Bokeh researched work m6600 from different power sources in sufficient detail.
First post. Where the picture of power supplies.

Alex.

 

Unfortunately, it does not support running off AC power and battery power at the same time. This would make sense, to allow the battery to make up for a weaker power adapter if the extra power is needed.... but it doesn't work that way.

 

Raid 0 via bios?

1. Image to an external drive.
2. Setup raid 0 on the new machine.
3. Restore image to new machine via bootdisk.

Acronis works great for this, but any backup sw with a bootable disc/usb drive should work fine.

 

I just want the laptop to run off the battery and the power adapter to do what it can to keep the battery charged.. there's got to be some software making the decision to run the computer at the reduced performance level.. I just want that disabled :\

 

Where can I get one of these drives?

 

The machine needs 190 watts to run at full speed with 100 watt Quadro 4000m and 55 watt 2920xm processor.

ATI video card only needs 75 watts, so you could possibly be down to 165.

Other CPUs only need 35 or 45 watts, so that might get you down to 145-155.

No matter what config you have, 130 watts will not fully power the machine.

On a 90 or 130 watt power supply, the machine will run at battery speeds. Sorry man. Maybe the 150 or 180 watts power supply could help, but I don't have one to test.

 

Did your M6600 not come with a 210 or 240 watts power supply?

 

I was wondering, will there be any help/working on to make the bios use throttlestop for xm cpus? my understanding is that you cannot increase multiplier since the bios restricts it?

 

Can nvidia drivers and windows 7 power configuration affect PC start-up(from the beginning not just when Win 7 is loading)?

 

Having issues with quadro 3000m drivers....

UPDATE with 285.62-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql

Standard editing and rendering with Premiere CS5.0 seems ok, but if i apply a few standard video effects at the same time, the gpu goes mad, flickering happens and result file exports issues...

Can't believe i'm having these problems with the drivers... frustrating.

Have any suggestions?
