    I'm going to have to learn to type faster or I'll always be one post behind you :)

    If I can ask, how to input that formula into Windows calculator?
    I came up with 119.2092895507813 manually.

    Put the calculator in scientific mode and use the cube function or divide by 1.024 three times in normal mode. :D

    I really don't like the windows calculator, i prefer using my good old sharp scientific calculator, i'm just way faster with it.

    I post behind someone else often too. ;)

    You're Welcome - looking forward to hearing how it works out.
    Factory partitions can sometimes be/get unstable but so can a clean reimage, that's why Dell puts up so many bios and driver updates.
    Nothing worse than BSOD's, Lockups and programs that crash.

    Dear Friends,

    When any of you Dell insiders learns something about whether or not the K4000M/K5000M will or will not work with the M6600, please PM or email me so that I don't miss the post in this thread!

    Dell Poland's answer has been: we don't support it, we don't know, do it at your own risk, blah blah...

    TIA

    Well, if an owner of the M6600 and M6700 is feeling adventurous, he/she could always try it. Given that a GTX680m actually work with the M6600 in the end, i don't see why the K5000m based on the same die wouldn't work.

    Any know what happens if you have a IPS panel but do not enable 10bit in GPU (Should it just do 8bit?)
    and do not use premier color software (it like to reset icc....)

    Haven't tried that but setting the Display Color to sRGB cuts down some weirdness. If it is set to sRGB and from that point on Premier is not loaded (Not Run at Startup) the display will stay that way until Premier is loaded again and changed.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Edit addendum: If Premier isn't loaded - windows loads the last used profile.

    Never mind, just read you still need a license key.

    I thought they only sold it with their laptop data transfer kit SSD bundle, let me check and edit shortly with my findings.

    EDIT: Well, i'll be damned, it's there for download on their website.

    EDIT2: Per above post, seems like i was right after all, i don't often wish i to be wrong, but for this one i do.
