    I can overclock fine with the A02 bios, maybe newer models of the V13 have a different clock generator?

    I can overclock, no problem. But if i start a cpu-stress-test, i get a blue screen in about 3 seconds!

    I better leave everything alone!

    What is your webcam driver? Is it the one that windows 7 install driver from 2006. Your microphone is working or not? My microphone is not working that I think because of the driver. and microphone is build in with the webcam I think

    Sense everyone seems to think the keyboard is the one major down flaw (well that and the lack of HDMI and the small battery, but other than that), I wonder if it would be possible to replace the keyboard with the backlit Adamo or SXPS 13 keyboard?

    Not sure about what is wrong, what is your audio driver? From Dell website. If yet then the microphone is broken then. BTW i will get my new replacement vostro tomorrow. Even Dell technical support with Dellconnect can't get it to work. It's suck to get everything to work except the microphone, I might get the defective one, even with the reinstall unbutu 9.04 the microphone is not working

    They try the dell website driver and Realtek ALC269 R244672 driver. and it doesn't work.

    it's not an issue related to cpu-z.
    I executed several benchmarks and the speed is always the same.
    I think it's because a new release of pcb on latest V13.
