Might be getting the m15x soon

ok first off good thing you remembered the keyboard well well worth the $50. Yes you can get a discount once you receive your order just call them and tell them you want to order it thats it you don't have to ask for any kind of special price.

EDIT: congrats on your order!

 

you bought an x9000? wow you must have alot of money to burn

 

i just noticed for system lighting i picked white...cant this be changed to diffreent colors or do i need to change my ordrer lol

 

you can change when you want. that will just be the colour that it will be set to when you first turn on the laptop

 

ok phew....now the waiting game, o well desktop will keep me company

 

it seems AW has sped up a bit on the shipping process. dont listen too much to all the bad feedback here though. people come here mainly to B***C..........dont get your hopes up though.

 

how does this ram look for an upgrade, its 4-4-4-12

actually got a free upgrade did have a t7700

 

Nice system! For notebook RAM, I'd recommend Corsair or Crucial.

 

how did you manage that? let me guess, you were not happy with the system and asked to gwet a refund. To shut you up, AW gave you the extreme cpu yes?

 

Which Alienware rep did you have to give a bj to to get that free? J/K

Seriously, though, how'd you get a X900 upgrade for free?

 

so a t9300 isnt overclockable, and with montevina coming out with ddr3, dang, well i hope it wont be in the m15x too soon or buyers remorse will set in deeply lmao

 

Actually no what happened was my system went in for repairs because my fx weren't coming on when on battery so I asked them how much it would cost to upgrade my cpu to the 9300 they told me it wouldn't cost me anything because they had just got the cpus and that was the closest to mine I would just have to pay a deposit so I went for it. Got my machine back open it up look and the bios and it was the X9000! they some how messed up and put in the wrong cpu and in myhive it also says I have the t9300 but hey whos complaining!!! Not me so thats how I did it i don't think they even know I have it in my system. O yeah and they did put the credit back to my card when they received the old chip back in Miami so now I have a system that cost me about 2640 including SB battery is now worth about $3100

PS X9000 is freakin sweet! O yeah and I also got an upgrade to a lightscribe drive cause mine orignal dvd drive wasn't burning @ 8x but my new one does.

 

That's just fine..In fact I'm using the same Gskill ram as you.

 

i think i should have got the x9000, the t9300 cant oc at all i think, whata shame

 

The x9000 can't overclock well in the m15x at all. You made the right choice. BTW, you can still change your order before it goes into production, you'll just have to start the phases over.

 

for ram i never knew they had pc 6400 for laptops, will this work in my m15x? its 800mhz instead of 667 standard

The mobo in the m15x will downclock it to 667MHz since that's the highest it'll support, you're just wasting money getting faster RAM. 667MHz RAM will be supported much better by the m15x.

 

that sucks, i thought it having a 800mhz fsb would allow 800 mem

 

actually halogod, the 800mhz, may be downclocked to 667mhs, but it will improve the cos latency to about 4. This isnt a major improvement at all, but its something

 

yea but this ram is 667, but already cl4

so no point in getting pc 6400 i guess then right

 

is the above statement correct? im gonna order the ram now

 

i guess so then. go for the 667 from newegg.
