with reserve not met... i amm looking at xoticpc never ordered from them they any good ... or rkc ... i want the m17 chassis
-
i apprectiate it if the alienware isnt done by friday imma prolly cancel. i was hopeing to have it by the 22 my b day it was a present to my self now AW screwed it up ! lol but still its been 30 days ....
-
Here's an idea.if you like the Alienware setup, you can always swap the keyboard, monitor cover, and basically build your own AW look. I'm sure someone here would be willing to order those parts for you. I'll make you a good deal on mine. It's an x9100 - not T9600 - And yea.. PM me if you are interested.
BTW - I bought from Xotic, they have great customer service. Also, DarkSmiley, and RKC are both reputable. -
Yeay phase 8 ! *needs a brown paper bag*
-
Has anyone here really flashed thier m17 bios with those for the ocz whitebook?
-
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yesyes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yesyes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yesyes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes lol its in like 500 thread but yes they have
-
ping, everyone who had an extreme CPU has.. So far, it has had good results. Visit my OC thread to find out how to do this yourself.

EDIT: pingfreak, nice 'stache.. you use the built-in cam? -
im thinking bout building off newegg it has a 500 gig hd free with the ocz white book and the build will be $2110 with a t9500 and 2 gig ram(will be 4 later) and 64 bit and 500 gig hd and cross fire what yall think ...ps srry e wrecked
-
uhh...plus shipping and plus 2GB RAM, , plus an x9100 vs TwhateverCPU, and the 500GB is only a 5400 RPM drive.. why not buy E's?
-
E's cpu is pretty nice! a barly touched stystem is what the doc orders!
-
lol i just love the feeling of building it make it your baby E knows what thats like
-
Is it true that the m17 cant be upgrade to 8gb ram
cos just has two slot in it
while the m17x already has option of 8gb ram tho its a ddr2 but still
Anyone -
you can put 2 x 4gb in the m17...so no it's not true
word. -
it can have 8gb of ram.
-
What would 8gb of ram mean to performance compared to 4gb?
-
absolutely nothing no body i know of uses the 4 gb .... unless you do video rendering
2gb is ok 4 gb is best 8= overkill /pointless
even gaming it would have no benefits it would site there no being used
btw the m17 doesnt support 1333 ram right? i havent seen any one with it ...jw -
I wonder how overclocking this 2.53 would work out. I'll get back to ya on that one. -
UT3 isn't running well? Hmm.. Most games I've played run fine maxed out. Do you have Power Play enabled in the CCC? And are you running in High Performance mode with Vista? I'm sure you've looked at all this stuff already, but just throwin out some ideas. And you're right..your frame rates shouldn't be bouncing around like that. Toy with the CCC options, they have a huge impact on gaming performance.
-
It's weird. I opened the catylist control ceter and sure enough the power play was set to battery life. So I set it to performance. I then rebooted to be happy with myself. On reboot, I got a pop up from ccc like I just installed it. When I opened the power play while I could re-enable it (it was disabled somehow on reboot) I couldn't make any settings as the selection box was empty. So I'm thinking Since these are for desktop pc drivers modified I probably can't use that .. Seems all screwy if you ask me. I hate this driver issue. It's gonna take me some time to figure out this thing. Hey, is there something that says ... Yes, rest assured your running crossfire not just 2 cards?
-
Powerplay should still be enabled, and allow you to enable it. Throw my 8.12 w/ Hotfix on your setup. It installs flawlessly. The hotfix resolved some hang at shutdown issues people reported. And, you can click "Information Center - Graphics Hardware" it should show your "Linked" Adapters. If you're scoring 12k it is in crossfire. Re-enable your PowerPlay and set it to max performance..then lemme know how it works out for ya.
-
I just uninstalled the 8.12 drivers; I'm going to make sure there gone before moving foward. I haven't tested 06 on my own I just read the txt document. I haven't got that far yet.
-
black box arrivs tomorrow!
-
how's this for quality control.. ... this score based off latest drivers
-
this is default after factory restore
-
Hmmm... odd - Quit running Vista 32bit
-
so you feel your system is not up to snuff?
-
Having Issues everyday
now im not able to see BlueRay movies
the tech support tried it all
uninstall ATI drivers & installed it back again
uninstall cyberlink & install again, etc
but no luck
does anyone else have this problem
or knows any solution Please -
Ya, I think the video really bites; While the intense games look good at full settings, the frames are really bad and at times just choppy. Two 3870's crossfire should out perform an 8800gt but I don't think they do frame rate wise. My desktop get's about the same score on 3D mark and performs much much better. it's using an 8800gt ssc.
-
These cards have some quirks.. dropped frame rates and micro-stutters are common due to lack of proper drivers. Mind you, you're using one of the first hardcore gaming, mobile ATI solutions in Crossfire. Just like with SLI, it takes a little while for them to perfect things. Within a couple months I'm sure drivers will resolve a lot of these issues. I've told people for quite some time, the full potential of this system has yet to be unlocked. Just make sure you don't give up on it. Oh, and make sure it's not user error (i.e. PowerPlay) - I've become very familiar with ATI because of this rig, and I believe in them much more than I used to. Just be patient, good things are on the way.
-
It would be fair ... but ... it would also be fair when they would give us drivers NOW!

Julian -
ATI has never been on time with drivers... 3870's are like whine they only get better
-
julian, ATI hasn't supported the 3k series yet..why would they start now?
-
because they love us, OK? !!!!!!!! we just want to feel sercure about our laptops !!!
edit: quit insulting my man hood lol -
:'(
What's about oure thread in ATI Forum?
Greetings
Julian -
i think it was sarcasim .... they will eventually stuff takes time . i will be pateint there is alot of coding and ATI is makeing the 48xx no slave or master there both the same now, so ill wait a month or 2 i mean E-wrecked made some drivers
-
may be the 4870 Alienware drivers work with the 3870 ... normaly the desktopdrivers work downwords quite well ... or does mobiledrivers normaly support only "one" series?
Greetings
Julian -
Oh man E-wrecked i wish i could buy yours but my m15x is still in dispute with alienware so i don't have the money right now. that is one sweet set up though
-
lol.. it's all good man.
Mr.Moo - I didn't make em, just ported em
julian - The 9.1 is delayed for whatever reason..one week left for them to be released. Hopefully this will resolves some of the current issues. And, the 4k series will likely allow for us to have better support. ATI has publicized the 4k series so much, that they'll surely have drivers for it. And those drivers should also port to our cards as well. Only time will tell, but it could be worse.. I mean, we could be using stone slabs, and chizels.. -
Oh, and Mr.Moo - congrats on the angelic butt nuggets! Wait for it... wait for it.. Where's the Tracking #?!
-
WOOT!!!!!
The beast has arrived...typing on it as we speak...so far so good, gonna stick the new ram in shortly and start installing stuff...
First impressions are solid, well-built...love the keyboard...
shipping was blazing fast...AW shipped it on Monday, I live in the Arctic, I'm surprised it got here so fast.
Really liking the machine so far... -
in the arctic, and your avatar has just tighty whities on? must be summer..
Congrats on the rig! Enjoy it! -
thanks man!
hey - what program do you use to monitor your gpu temps? -
HWMonitor Pro - best there is: http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitorpro.php
That one costs money.. so HWMonitor works just as well..you'll find the link on that page. -
thanks man - that's the ticket right there...
after reading about the tape on the gpu's I figured some temp monitoring right from the get-go might be a good plan.

congradulations! I know how happy I was when I got my m17 ... and how sad I was when I send it back^^
So be happy! And ...

still not sure where this came from. i have once again asked and confirmed the answer they WILL STILL be master and slave from what the engineer says. -
will it be a slave and master card or slave and master slot like the clevo....
