    Chillin' on my Desktop letting my 1530 burn in a bit. Just put some Arctic Silver 5 on the CPU and GPU, and I'm going to go outside to the garage to check out the temperatures soon.

    Hopefully everything is as smooth as gravy :)

    Doubt it since the linux version of the M1530 is coming out in August. I'd say you won't see anything until September - October time period for sure.

    They won't take that long to get Centrino 2 out. They'll be behind everyone and putting the crappy nVidia chips in them.

    I don't know, I don't see how the linux version should have any influence on the hardware that's being used in the 1530 but who knows?

    My day is going great! I just got the full refund for my m1530 which I returned so i'm pretty happy about that. Right now I'm trying to decide whether i should buy a new laptop soon since dell still hasnt updated their lineup.

    Team Dell is gradually moving towards a hibernation, and will wake up once the Montevina refreshes kick in.

    Hello there :err: :err: :err:

    New student in the class!

    I had seen this thread before and I was thinking this is some kind of exclusive, dell team club or something like that.

    So whats it exactly? Anyone can just jump in, introduce ourself and become a official Dell Team member? And say, start using the one of the colorful Dell team sigs?? :confused: :confused:

    But I see familiar faces here.. anyway, hi to all and let me know if I can become one of yours, if yes, how? and how can I use one of the colorful dell team sigs ( http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5011/dellteam3jz6.png > I like this one) :) :) :)

    some personal hello' to the authorities:

    scott - I didn't realize you were the one who started those boot time poll record thread where I see that I still have the fastest boot time for XPS M1530.. :) Nice. *shakes hands*

    Cin, the angel - Warm (or cold if this summer is too hot) greetings to you too. *me takes a bow before the dell princess* :)

    Bauer the artist - Hello there :) What art are you creating right now? any more colorful sigs?

    wywern - belated happy birthday to you :)

    polarix - director of 'what' delays??? :confused: :confused:
    Hello, btw. Nice to meet you :)

    Dweezil - the bouncer!! Even here?? hmmm.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I'll watch out.. :p :p

    mattocs - Hello :) do you take complaints as well???

    Les - ah les......... :) someone I will never forget as long as I keep this Dell M1530 with Vista Ult. (which will be for a long time anyways) and even after.... Whats up, Les? :) Long time.

    So there.. See you all around. And be good and be nice. Let me get out before Dweezil lays his hands on me (if this place was only for ticket holders!).... Cheers.

    Traitor! :p

    The FW is my backup choice. It looks good except the GPU is a bit on the low side. I am going to wait to see what Dell offers before I make a choice. That is, if I can wait.

    LOL, yeah I would have waited except that I couldn't pass up this deal and the GPU is adequate for me, I don't plan on gaming a whole lot in the future.

    I am sure it would be sufficient for playing TF2 which is the only game I am concerned with playing. But, I have time to wait and see what Dell offers but if nothing or no rumors by the end of August I'll probably snag the Vaio.

    Yeah I was planning on waiting a bit longer for Dell to update their lineup but the $100 coupon sealed the deal for me. With the money I saved, I might buy a mini I though. ;)

    I am impressed with you multi-quote abilities. Usually one quote for me is enough to keep track of. :p

    I haven't switched yet, I will give Dell a fair chance to come up with something fresh. They have taken good care of my needs in the past.

    Was a good day overall. How was your day?

    Im suprised I require sleep at all TBH. I have worked a 10+ hour day with 0 sleep, if I got 6 hours of good sleep I think Id feel groggy and tired when I woke up.

    As for team dell I might have to join, but then again I may be out of the dell soon if this infamous Gateway FX comes to BB.

    I do like the dell community, aside from certain people trying to sabotage their 8xxx cards for warranty replacements. But as for leaving the dell community it all comes down to whether I gate a t2500z tablet to replace my 12in when it dies or sell the dell and get the FX gaming machine and keep my old 12in. Either way Ill grab a sig tag?
