I also have a seagate momentus and I am getting the exact same readings from that program. While AW may have sent a new drive I highly doubt 2 similar drives would be failing the exact same way. It is probably just something inherent with the drives.

Is the 820qm a significant upgrade over the 620m?
-
More future proof - perhaps. -
Not for cost of upgrading.
-
Just curious. Upgrading my warranty and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a possible CPU upgrade
-
Oh & down the line if you need to change cpu its like a 20 min job to swap the proc .
-
-
the warranty price changes with the processor ?
-
-
Don't forget that the 620 has integrated graphics, which the 820 doesn't (I think). That might be something to consider in your choice as well.

I have used my M17X-r2 now for a few weeks and never even noticed the fan come on but their was no heavy use, just moving my stuff from old laptop to new and installing programs. Yesterday while moving it to put it down it made a funny noise like a screeching sound for about 10 seconds, now I notice the fan comes on an off every few minutes even while sitting idle. Any ideas or is this normal
-
Install hwinfo32 and monitor your temps. They should not be above 45 degrees idle/surfing the net. If that the temps are higher you've gt the reason for the fans kicking in. As for the noise you mentioned, it's hard to say and I doubt it's related.

When I first got my M17x-r2 I was amazed at how fast the boot time was about 15 seconds after installing all my programs it really slowed down to about 45 seconds. everything I added put a start-up in my system. I went into run with MSCONFIG unchecked everything not needed for boot and it went back to quick boot. I also noticed if I booted with my internet cable plugged in instead of wireless it added about 15 seconds. The other thing I noticed was my first M17x-r2 when their forgot to raid my 2 SSD drives it booted even faster now on start-up it stops at the raid screen for a few seconds. Anyone else notice anything like any of this

here's another mirror http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WH2U3WZG
looks like they solve BFBC2 flickering issues and give performance gain.. (not tested by me, just the chatter i am reading) -
ATI is releasing drivers just as fast as nVidia now
-
nobody bother to try 10.3 drivers and then update with ATI CrossFireX Profile Application 1.0? has crossfire patch for bad company 2.
i'm not able to test cause waiting on dell to finally bring me my M17x-R2 with dual 4870. -
Can you Install them over the top of 10.3?
Okay no they didn't Install...Oh well I'll do it the other way.. -
-
Anyone see the new BIOS for our DVD player on theDL site for the R2 ?
-
-
-
-
I'll try to install 10.5 on top of my 10.3 release drivers and see if it works on my end. If not then I'll clean out the drivers and install 10.5 fresh.

-
Can anyone find me CCC Stand alone? Without the Installer? It won't Install in the Installer and i rather have the 2010 then the 2009 version.
-
do you guys run your m17x-r2 always with turbo mode on?
i'm getting an i5 520m wich runs 2.4 ghz stock but with turbo on 2,93.
do i force it on 2.93 ghz permanently or just let the aliens do the controle? -
Leave Turbo enabled. It knows what to do and when to overclock.

So I just finished talking to Customer Service and asked them about my Razer Mamba mouse. On the Dell.com site and over the phone (automated order status) I get a message saying that the order is still "processing" and there is a delivery date of 04/07/10. When directly asked about when my order would ship, I got an explanation of how the approval process takes 24 hours before getting approved and reaching the "shipped" state. My order was placed last week Thursday. Didn't they bother to approve it by Friday? Fine, how about Monday?
Regardless, I am pretty much sure my order will not go through now and am going to get a delay email message at the last minute.
I guess as long as I get the order by Thurs/Friday I won't mind too much, but this is definitely weird behavior from Dell. -
When has there ordering behavior not been weird?
-
-
it took them 4 days to ship my mamba.
i asked too why would the mouse need to be "in production" but this is how they roll -
-
i mean it took 4 days for the status to change from In Production to Shipped, then one more day and it arrived.
-
-
you're almost there
you'll love your mamba! -
Yeah its totally worth it. I had it back in november but returned it because i needed the cash for sports.
Now I got a 50$ coupon for razer and am regetting the Mamba -
