*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owners Lounge - Part 4

naw probably just the screen first. waiting for sell right now. oh the price i pay just to get that little alien head, hahahha. but the screen does look awesome and the review seems good, so just patiently waiting.

 

yes, M17x xfire 5870 with 940xm.
then when she gets tried of lugging it around you can trade her, ahhhaha

 

lol inap awesome idea now to find someone who i could do that with lol

 

Hey inap, what about that, for 50 its a great deal!

Also, err, my budget is more like 700$ CAN before taxes... I like the dell studios but I can buy something else. Looking for a i3 core, everything else is pretty much given ( 4gb of ram and 320+ HDD)

 

Nice find soccer.

You can get your mom a studio with a duo core for much cheaper. The i3 is nice but kinda slow, a decent duo core will out perform it and will be cheaper.

 

Err yeah well I heard the i3 > t6600 and stuff.
Plus i3 is kind of more future proof, easier on the battery and all!

 

I would buy an Area-51 ALX full spec and use the ordering advice thread to bargain down the price to 700, awesome deal! Maybe they will throw a screen in there too if you are good !

Edit: Oh nevermind, she wanted a laptop :S.

 

Yeah your right, my bad. Lol

 

So basically call up Dell and tell them I want to buy the part? Any idea what the pricing for the 5850 is??

 

probably 380 (this is a complete guess) from what i've heard from on the 5850 thread.

 

anyone know a fix for the big cursor bug that happens with 10.4 drivers and 5850.

 

idk anything about those drivers but imo 10.3 seems to be a better choice imo from what ive read in the 5870(mod) thread

 

LOL whoops yea I edited it now. 1920 x 1080 was wat I meant to say!

 

has anyone here played gta 4, or have any idea about games for windows live offline accounts? I need to log in to my offline account to play gta 4, but the one i made first got messed up so i made another, and i don't know how to make it auto login anymore. the first one used to log in by itself when the game launched now i have to manually select the new profile, even tho its the only one in the list. does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

 

im thinking there could be a saved game folder in documents it might have the old acct still there

 

Here's a link to my youtube video playing Crysis on Very High settings. Video is useless unless watched in 720p

Unfortunately the video recording device made my video stutter in some points. But generally pure enjoyment from the HD 5870's!
EDIT: And I just finished playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, hadn't played it for almost 2 months. Very High Settings, 1920x1080. Flayed flawlessly. Was a great game. I think I'm done gaming for a while though.

 

I use an xlive.dll mod. It removes the online stuff but makes it single-profile only (which is fine for me).

GTAForums.com -> [REL|GTAIV] XLiveLess

 

I didn't need that mod for Batman on xlive. I just created an offline mode. Don't remember now.. but I found a site that helped me do it. (as in told me how).

 

So my replacement has been semi approved. They are going to Build the system as Follows:

Alienware M17x Black
17" RGBLED Display
i7 720QM (Downgrade from i7820QM)
4GB 1066 or 6GB 1333 DDR3 (Downgrade from 8GB 1333)
500GB 7200RPM Drive
Intel WifiLink 6300
Bluetooth 2.1
4X Bluray burner
Windows 7 Ultimate
CrossfireX 5870's

Semi approved means they've already approved the older configuration and now they have to update it with the new changes. So by next week I'll know for certain whats comming.

*edited to include RGBLED

 

nice change dude like the cf 5870's

 

Forgot to mention the RGBLED.

 

wow awesome, congrat man. cf 5870......drooling

 

Ya now i'll just be crossing my fingers until next tuesday when i get the final confirmation from the supervisor .

 

awesome exchange lucky. lol well youll be missed once you have to send back your M15x which is weeks away lol (M17x build time)

also i justed ordered the TaxtX mouse from dell for 30.74 lol damn cheap compared to a mouse i was looking at on newegg for 50 lol and that one didn't have all the features the TaxtX mouse does lol

 

Lol, man does that mean I have to go hang out with the M17x guys now... I only know M15x people

 

your welcome to stay but ive got little to no info on the M17x compared to the M15x lol

 

Can someone with the 5870 run a couple of loops on Crysis so I can see the fps difference? Or maybe point me to a source lol.

Thanks guys.

 

didn't jubbing posted something earlier about crysis fps. If you really need it let me know, i don't have crysis installed at the moment, dang small ssd.

 

Ok cool. I'll try to find that post if it exists lol.

 

Flawless. With the occasional oddity with my mouse pad not working coming out of standby *shrugs* Updated the drivers that are on Synaptics and the issue seems to have died down to once every few weeks. Very odd. Next up I'm eyeballing a new vid card sometime this fall. Hope there is an easy upgrade path. I know there are a few upcoming options. The question is will they be compatible with the M15x

 

well the best right now would be the 5870. anything more then that i think will have heat and power consumption issues, but guess we have to wait and see. and glad to see everything is working fine for the most part.

 

Personally I'd take the i7-620M over the 720QM, better performance in all applications that don't make use of multiple cores/threading. You should see if they'll let you go from 720QM to 620M and then back up to 6GB of memory, I doubt it though since the 620M and 720QM are the same price to upgrade to!

 

Yeah I agree with the 620M. I'm looking to do a CPU upgrade soon and I don't much care for quads lol. The i7-620M is a monster.

 

yes it is i just ran futuremark coincidentally

it fluctuated between 3.192 and 3.312 ghz and max temp was 49c and stayed at 46c rest of the time

 

Awesome set up, bro! Almost as good as my set-up

Congrats man! And don't stay away from the M15x family!

 

holy crap where have you been harry, been lonely here without you bro, hahhaha. was about to post a missing persons report.

 

Man, I got so much work, I'll make enough money in the next 3 weeks to buy me a whole AW laptop family.

It's all for the same client and he kinda in a hurry. I promise I will take a break from working for at least a week after I'm done so you can finally teach me how to effectively kill my enemies, bro!

 

wow sounds awesome, i want me a AW family too.
don't worry about harry, we can frag it up when ever. but don't make me sound like a gaming pro, i just play for fun.

was going to use this pic for the missing persons report, tell me what you think. look like you or not. hahhaha

 

are u guys talking about tf2... if so count me in as well....

 

heck yeah, do i have you in my friends list yet wiz?

 

Ha ha ha! Don't worry, bro. That's more than enough for me. No plans of becoming a pro myself.

BTW - I couldn't betray my M15x by buying his big brother, besides, I would only use it to watch movies anyway. And the M11x is too small for. I would buy an M13/14x, though. Nice for on the go!

 

Has Dell recognized the touchpad lag as an issue? I hate using the stock windows drivers, I need my 2 finger scroll back.

Also are there any drivers/software for the integrated webcam?

 

i think so i added ya... already.. u online now on steam....

AND ATI MOBILTIY 5870 10.5 is out...

Just installing the driver.....

EDIT: INSTALLED!!

 

Where did you get my picture, Inap? That one was taken right in my front yard!

 

let me know how that driver turns out. yeah on steam now, but forgot your steam name.

yeah i just googled the world luckiest man, and you pop up, hahahhah

 

ok guys just got new modem from the provider need to know a couple of things one can i use an alternate wireless router attached to the wireless modem i have.

its a Westell 750018 07 model and it supports g but i wondering since its a modem can i connect it to another router that would broad cast wireless n?

 

yes you can connect a DSL router to ur modem if it has a lan output and broadcast Wireless n on that router

EDIT: the colours are better calibrated with the 10.5 drivers... or is it just me....

 

alright sweet thanks for the quick response cause i quickly googled this modem and it seems to not be a star with being all to friendly on wireless so im going to get a new one at the local BB or Newegg for a wireless router broad casting b/g/n.

also recommendations for one of these are appreciated

+rep Wiz fastest fingers in the thread

 

how is the install on that, still have to do manually???

 

Ha ha ha! Now the world knows Inap!

See you guys later, gotta do some more work!
