M6600 Owners Thread

For those interested in the Supertalent Ram:

Unfortunately they don't list latency. But here are the links I used (I got the cheaper one):

W1333SB8GV Super Talent DDR3-1333 SODIMM 8GB Value Notebook Memory - DDR3 SODIMM 204 Pin - SuperBiiz.com


W1333SB8GM Super Talent DDR3-1333 SODIMM 8GB Micron Chip Notebook Memory - DDR3 SODIMM 204 Pin - SuperBiiz.com


The latter one is $96 per stick -- for which price I would go with g.skill/corsair probably.

However on the other hand Supertalent does list the chip manufacturer as Micron on the latter link which I think makes some of the better ram sticks -- these are CL9. The value brand listed first is a dice roll.

 

Also could be the difference in that the dell is a 10 bit panel supplied by the same type of vid card. I have read somewhere that this is 1 billion+ colors.

The Apple lists it as 16.7 million colors vs what the Dell may have.

So likely change in tech and better tech from when I bought the Apple last year.

 

I think all Nvidia Quadro's above a certain range support over 10-bit.

The mobile Quadro supports 10-bit per color.

my searches have failed me...


What is the battery life like with the m8900? my understanding is that there's no switchable graphics, soo.... Is it even an option with the bios to completely turn off the ATI gpu?

 

3.5-4.5 hours unless you are stressing it; which would drop it to 1.5-2 hours.

Scott-

 

No. You can only use the integrated Intel GPU if you get one of the NVIDIA cards.

 

Does anyone know of a Blu-Ray burner/player that would fit in the M6600 that I could use the factory Dell M6600 DVD drive bezel on as well? I'm pretty sure it is a longshot since there are probably very few Blu-Ray drives that will even the M6600.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

 

u need to find bluray player that is 9.5mm. look around at the forum cause they have the link to the parts. I dont have that link

the bezel is easily removeable so you just have to "transfer" it to your new bluray disk

 

If you have a tray-loader:

Panasonic/Mat$hita
UJ-232
UJ-242
UJ-252

Should be $150ish on ebay, more elsewhere.

 

Sorry for the confusion. I have the slot loading DVD/CD burner.
