    What do You mean?

    Cleaning whitelist? MXM slot for another GPU (apart official FirePro)? CPU OC support?

    As I know...nobody is working on that, because it's hard to unlock these features. It's Phoenix BIOS but designed by Dell for Precision line.

    CPU overclock support would be great.

    Maybe he could help us, I think he's Bios-Mods Guru there.
    But I don't know how to get access to "temp" folder during flashing (then bios.exe is extracting). After flashing system is restarted automaticly and temp folder is cleaned.

    I found another solution here:

    Dell Part Number: G9M5X (or WJCJD, or DW375).

    WImas? :rolleyes:
    You mean WiMAX?
    Dell drivers
    or
    Latest drivers from Intel

    Best Regards,
    Alex.

    Just a quick note to say that nvidia has updated its drivers for the Quadro 4000M.

    other option is Newegg.com - CORSAIR 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 Laptop Memory Model CMSO8GX3M1A1333C9
    cl9

    what will be better 1333cl9 vs 1600cl10?

    also can some one confirm that he has 32gb of 1600ram in dell precision?
    (couse dell configurator has only 32gb 1333 and 16gb 1600)

    2) is it possible with @raid on@ mode going with 2 separate hdds?
    dont realy trust this ahci thingy=/

    3) advanced format drives

    I can confirm 32gb 1600 will run @ 1600.

    Yes.

    The win7 format will properly align 4k drives. You will have the option to select GPT or MBR when formatting.
