vista + intel duo sticker badges

hey, you know those stickers they put on the bottom right of the laptop? where can i purchase these?

 

You cannot. If you're really interested in getting them, put up a thread in our Buy/Sell/Trade forums.

 

You can get them on eBay and perhaps some stores if you google it.

I know that the Intel Core 2 Duo sticker with the little 'Pull here' tag gives an extra 100mhz FSB and 20% boost in processor speed, so its a nice thing to have.

 

huh? (10 characters)
Did I detect sarcasm?

 

Huh? What is that supposed to mean?

 

You guys didn't know? That Intel sticker's tied into the Mobo - removing it decreases the speed of the computer. It's an anti-piracy thing.

 

I noticed this! i removed them from my vostro 1500 and it looks so much more beautiful. However, when i restarted my laptop, i got a weird message on boot that said "max processor speed = 5% -- value locked". wtf! i tried putting the sticker back on but it didnt work. can anyone help?

 

You gotta solder it back onto the Mobo. That, or you can get around this anti-piracy measure if you pull off your CPU and break off some of them pins on the bottom.

 

i think i will buy amd next...

 

You guys are joking right? Enough with the sarcasm? How can a sticker influence processor speed? WTH?

 

obviously you aren't aware of the advanced architecture of the intel chipset.

 

I concur..

 

It's the reason why all of dell's 8600gts are DDR2, dell forgot the put the Nvidia sticker on it.

If instead they put the sticker, we would all have pimped out GDDR3 ram in our 8600gt.

 

See "taking a joke too far".

The post's been answered, let the thread die.

 

wuh???????????????????????????????

 

Yeah no kidding, whatever happened to sympathy towards noobs?

 

So does the XPS M1330 have this?

 

Indeed. It also has a flux capacitor which you can use whenever you want to see Michael J Fox.

 

i heard it did :confused2:

 

Being a noob is one thing. Being absolutely retarded is another - no offense to the retarded out there.

 

Jeez, didn't expect it to go that far. And guys, stickers don't mean a thing

Was just messing with you haha, my bad

 

How is asking where to get stickers retarded?
I like the stickers, and wish I had a couple more to put on random stuff.

 

I never said that. I was referring to believing that stickers improve CPU performance...

 

The stickers allows for more bandwidth and since it's constructed using zirconium it's used to distribute the heat away from the processor. There's a reason why some stickers are made using metallic components. Furthermore, if you take off some of the stickers (temporarily), you'll see mesh-like metallic lines embedded... supposedly an Intel-only innovation. I checked my P4 HT sticker from my desktop, it does have a mess sort and I read from intel that it connects to socket 478 and "improves general performance by implementing an 100KB increase in Cache"...

The sticker for the GPU, however, is useless.
