    If you look on dell.com and dell.ca where it's free.. it's the dell travel remote / ir. it is $15 dollars now, but tell them that you saw the reviews, and it should have came with it, other people got it and some didn't. it showed in the invoice, and they should add it to your order, or send it out.

    I already got it coming to me, but thanks. I was just stating I didn't see anywhere that it said it was free. I bet because of all the phone calls is why they put it to $15. But for what it is, that is not a bad price at all.

    Question everyone... if you dont want to replace the driver for the 8600gt in vista that was shipped with the laptop , can it still be overclocked with Ntune? I tried the coolbits reghack and I still don't see any open or extra settings. Is there not a way to import a registry entry to set the clock speeds? I am thinking of at least setting the card to run equal to its desktop counterpart. 1520 in black is running great...

    Thanks.

    I got nTune to see what it was like, and it looks like you are able to OC the card with nTune.
