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

This will work to install the Dell version of CCC, but you might also try going to c:\ATI Technologies\Support\10-5_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc\ Packages\Apps\CCC and running setup.exe found there. This should give you the 10.5 version of CCC. So far as I can tell, there is little or no functional difference, but the aesthetics are improved and it might contribute to being able to do the automated installation routine with the next driver update.

 

Great! How is it?
Looking to get an android phone but it's crazy expensive here in Canada!

 

lol i still have my first generation storm lol the click phone hahaha

 

Ha ha ha! Isn't everything crazy expensive in Canada, Thierry? BTW, how's your little netbook working out for you?

A couple more days and I should be ready with my project and free as a bird again!

 

Hey, Inap! What's up , bro?

You do like your toys, don't you?

 

its pretty good. the touch screen is real nice, iphone quality. still need to learn the android os, but seems simply enough. the screen is pretty big too, almost the size of of a whole iphone. probably convert some video tonight to check the quality.

 

hahaha yeah i can't seem to keep money in my wallet for long periods of time. lol

how you been harry? done with all your projects yet?

 

It's actually going great, Inap! As I was turning in parts of the project they sent me more and more, pushing the deadline to the 16th, but if they stop sending me more, I should be done the day after tomorrow (late at night, but still 11 days ahead of deadline). It was a fun project as well, so I can´t complain.

I just hope no work comes during the Worldcup! Maybe I will finally have some time to play some of those games!

 

oh yeah world cup time, almost forgot about that. gonna be sweet. well i hope they don't send you more stuff, miss you around here bro. alot of newbie lately that need your help,lol.

 

I'll be back soon, bro. I can't wait. It's so weird to only work and then just go to bed. It sucks, man!

A couple o days and I'll be back with my little family from the early hours of the morning till the wee hours of the night!


No explain somthing to me, Inap: WTH is an Intel Paper Clip BabyHemi Edition?

 

lol, just an inside joke with babyhemi, paid him extra 1 cent when i ordered the wifi card and he gave me an intel paper clip for it. and it looks awesome.

 

Ha ha ha! Well, at least it's very original. I'm sure not many people have one of those, ha ha ha!

Man, I gotta find a way to spend all that money I've made the last week! Any suggestions, from my li'lle family here?

 

you can buy me what ever you want harry,lol

but seriously depends on what you need or want to improve. probably best to get some beers and chill out, you need it bro. working all day till night time, geez, i thought i was working hard.

 

That's mostly now, because large companies are affected by the economic crisis and they are saving money wherever they can, especially on luxuries such as expansion. Nowadays I gotta take whatever I can!

Once things normalise I'll go back to my normal rhythm, which is a gruelling 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, bro! (By the way, did I ever mention that I am actually very lazy?)


If there is ever anything you REALLY need and can't afford, just let me know man. I mean that!

 

Intel has their own paperclips? Damn I want one!

How is everyone? Temps are starting to soar in the western states. Those without AC should check their temps regularly.

 

well i always kinda wanted a bugatti, but could never afford it, hahahah
its cool harry, i know you got my back.

tell me about it, it was super hot today. should be a little hotter where you live villosa, my bay area brotha,lol

 

I have a question about Windows 7 , by the way. I know this is not the place to post it, so please forgive me mods, but I haven't had a chance to browse through the new set-up of the forum yet and I can't find my way around yet.
Now 7 is designed so things don't clutter all over your taskbar. Beautiful of course, but in case of productivity software such as Word, Excel, and Adobe, I find it kind of irritating I can't have my docs next to each other so I can just click on the one I need at the time instead of keeping my mouse on the one icon in the taskbar, look at about 12 docs in miniature and search the one I need. Is there a way to change this so I can have them next to one another again like in XP and Vista?

Appreciate your help on this one guys, as I lose way too much time this way!

 

my temps are good i live in the lower part of my house which has a basement which creates its own ac its awesome so i don't have worry about 90 degree weather 6 feet to my left lol.

@harry nice to see that your project is almost done bro. also buy a ssd if you want to improve your M15X.

 

yeah just right click on the task bar, and a few options should show up, test it out and see which one you like. win7 is awesome.

 

Aha, but do you NEED a Bugatti, Inap? Ha ha ha!
I'll let you know if I hit the lottery, bro, and I'll get you one with an AW board computer!

Don't know what you're talking about Villosa! It was the usual 29°C here!!

 

Hey!!! harry.... forums been dead without u...

right click on taskbar click properties... u'll see an option for taskbar buttons... in the list select the option for never combine and click apply..
JOB done!!! its like xp all the way..

EDIT: u beat me this time inap...lol

 

Hi Tuenkamen, how is life been treating you?

I have been thinking about an SSD. I could get the smallest one as I don't need a lot of space on my HD. Thing is that there are so many mixed reports on them. The one I would like is the Intel, but I don't think we get them here. CPU's on the other hand are easy to get by here. Expensive, but easy to get. Of course, in my case it would only be to bench because workwise the 240 suits me fine.
Anything else? It does not necessarily have to be for the M15x, though.

 

Intel releasing g3 ssd by q4 this year... u can get them arnd 20% cheaper then and with better speeds.. OCZ is very good performer as far as benches are concerned but when using ur laptop u won't feel a difference between the 2... if u wan't one now babyhemi is selling them at a very good price...

 

hmmmm LED Samsung tv?

life is good going to look at apts next week and find a job hopefully at the same time.

 

Thanks to both of you! Let me see if I can figure all of this out. My system came in Spanish and they didn't exactly translate all the function names literally. Should be able to work it out, though.

Yeah I been reading a bit in here once in a while over the last couple of days but if it weren't for the newbies, nothing would have happened.

Maybe it's times for me to "Just wack it a few times" again LOL!

 

Man it's not the heat that kills me, it's how stuffy it gets in Sac. I walk outside and it's like breathing in through a moist-y pillow or something...sucks big time. Oh well, gonna go watch Splice with the fiancee soon, I'm a sucker for nachos and Sci-fi LOL.

@Harry,

If it's constant then man that is sweet. The thing that gets me is the shift from cool to oven in like a day here. Damn valley...

 

K i'll make it easier for ya...

Step 1: right click taskbar and click properties


Step 2: Click on the menu highlighted



Step 3: select the last option..


click apply...

 

Yeah the weather has been crazy lately. Hot one day, raining the next. But oh well, be harry's neighbor one of these days lol.

 

Not only that, Villosa. Even though it's a small island, humidity is low, so no suffocating feeling. Of course, the constant breeze from the ocean (20 metres away) makes even more comfortable!
Man I used to hate those temperature differences in Europe. Sometimes there was like a 17°C temp difference in 1 day, now that blows!

By the way, guys, GOT IT! Thanks a million! Saves me a lot of time when I'm working.

 

Thanks, bro! I found it! Still looks a bit different in the Spanish system but luckily it was well translated making it easy to find.

Can BabyHemi get the SSD's to Venezuela without them being confiscated by our corrupt officials, though?

 

Already got a big TV but I hardly ever watch it. I would like a completely new toy that not everybody has! Help me out here man! Ha ha ha!

Good luck with apt and job hunt, bro! Hope you'll find a nice one of each! (Try to become self-employed in the future, though. Sooo much better!)

 

I know how you feel. my friends and I ordered 4 copies of Modern warfare online at once so we could split the delivery fee. They got to Shanghai in a day or two, but they've been in customs or something for like 2 weeks now, and we can't get them... At least i've not finished GTA 4 yet...

 

Yeah, I hear ya man! That's the way it goes here. Usually costs you more to get them out of customs than the item cost you!

 

yea i know that is my end game.

hmmm a toy no one else has. how about this

 

Well I do have this Intel paperclip. You know not alot of people have these, its pretty rare. If you want it,its your bro.

 

Ha ha ha! Now that's a nice gadget! Let's see when it gets to my little paradise for all to purchase!

 

Now we're talking, bro! How much do you want for it, lol?

Can you post a pic so I know what I'm getting?

 

haha awesome, are they TV sunnies? I'd probably walk into stuff with those...

 

glad i found something that i think not many other people would have and its at a decent price here but idk about your little slice of paradise

@madpenguin lol dude their meant for crapped space so you can enjoy the huge screen and great audio without the huge setup required for it. i.e. turn the M15x into a monster screen will have to learn how to type blind though lol

 

So far loving the laptop. Been playing Dragon Age max graphics and was getting over 60 fps continuously with sometimes fps dropping in the 40s range. Dirt 2 was a bit disappointing. Running on Ultra gives 30 fps on average. So toned it down to 2x multi sampling, with preset setting on all high. I was getting about 40 fps, which I found made the game a alot smoother.

Is the Dell Backup thing any good? Or should I just uninstall it?

 

Congrats on your set-up, man! It is one dream machine!

 

um imho i would first delete, second clean your recycle bin and done. lol

to me its something that causes latency issues for me so i got rid of it on first boot up but then i did a fresh install without even installing it.

 

hey inappropriate what's this g3 you're talking about? thanks for the quick reply. I was surpised that there's been 5 pages of chat since last night haha.

And thanks guys! I just learned how to change the icons on my toolbar to the small icons.

 

The backup program that always pops up isnt really needed. but the recovery partition is useful i reckon

 

Well... I finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought a 5870.

Now i need to buy some Mx-3 and hope for the best since i haven't worked with paste since i put together my old laptop with an AMD AthlonXP 2000 =x

 

also you want to get new thermal pads for the best possible cooling go here as recommend by inap here

 

I'll see how my temps are after MX-3.

If i see it's still on the hot side, i'll invest in some pads.

Never worked with pads before =x

Also, does anyone have any recommended sites where i can buy some MX-3? Just checking before i bite the bullet on another purchase

 

G3 is Intel g3 ssd's current version is g2. I also love having small icons. Haha

should be able to get some from amazon. Also a few electronic stores, like micro center.

 

haha, I was walking up the stairs with my laptop and accidentally wacked the side against a plaster pillar at the top. The first thought I had was " ahhh crap dinted new laptop", but when i looked there was plaster there. I wiped it off and found that the laptop was unscratched, so go alienware and their sturdiness.

Alienware 1 : My house 0

 

Hey y'all!
Got up at 7 am on a Saturday, and I'm now heading to the park where I'm gonna do 10 hours of community services today.. Yay for my school program!
Baww
So what is up?
