Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

Hey what are the clock speeds for the core, shader, and memory for the FX 2700M and FX 3700M??

 

I have recieved my interposer which came next-day after it was reported. They also threw in an extra hard drive bay and four screws...(thx DELL )

 

ah great

thanks for letting us know

 

Just about to go for a Covet. Dell messed up an order of mine, and failed to fix the problem for months, so am being offered a machine for £2473. It seems a good deal as the machine costs £29xx on the website. Anyone able to confirm?

Covet:- 4gb, 200gb HD, T9600, RGB, 3700m.

Incidentally, what are the benefits of the CCFL vs RGB LED, and is it worth the cash difference?

Thanks!

 

From what I understand, and I'm no expert, with the RGB LED you get 100% of the Adobe color spectrum vs. about 40% with the CCFL. Plus you get a lower power draw from the screen, which means slightly longer battery life.

It might be worth the cash difference if you work with colors, graphics, video, or print materials. But ultimately only you can decide if it's really worth it, given that if you do those things, most people will be viewing your work on non-RGB LED screens anyway. At least for now anyway.

Personally, I went for it.

 

What docking station are you using?

 

Can't wait !

Ordered my Covet on Monday. Estimated ship date is 11/25. Hopefully sooner!

Got a steal of a deal with the 30% off Small Business coupon! Hope this baby is smokin' fast!
