  1. He did say they would be overclocked at the factory, and I cant remember how high. I hope to 4.5 like the Origin sandys are. Just read M18x will be at 4.0. From what I've read about Origin their customer service and sales is best in the biz so far. Alienware better step up the performance envelope or their ex coworkers will start stealing some sales. I'd buy one if the cases on the laptops weren't so ugly they hadnt killed their 18". ORIGIN PC EON17-S laptop claims highest mobile processor clock speed in the world
  2. Hey, I just got and SF-19. I got the usb 2.0 like yours. I wanted the usb 3.0, mainly because it was all black. But since I have no usb 3.0 devices yet and the 2.0 one was $30 cheaper. I cant really tell if it makes any difference. Since i use hwinfo and my temps are about the same with it on or off, even on high. Maybe the laptops fans kick on a bit later. I am thinking about painting the rubber pieces black.
  3. They should still learn how to punish the troll and not close an important and busy thread. I still want to see this card com to AW. Specially if I break down and get the M18x...
  4. We will be able to get up to 32GB of memory and the extreme 2920xm. Nice. I dont see the 485 so that bites. They arent ready for us yet since the first link you can build the system with xfire 6970 but it says not compatible with 240watt psu, however there is no other choice of psu listed. Alienware Canada M18x
  5. Theres a pretty big difference between 6970 and gtx285 in power consumption, at least a 20 watt jump. However the 480 and 6970 are pretty close. GTX485M - 37 watts idle - 170 watts full load GTX480M - 50 watts idle - 150 watts full load 6970M - 48 watts idle - 148 watts full load *485m - 6970m Source *480m Source
  6. Yeah, it's kinda like a carwreck over there you dont want anything to do with it, but you cant look away.
  7. Someone must have felt some pressure from the new kids, they opened a dedicated speculation thread. Will still be dead in a week cause of flaming or off topic. Nice to think our presence is felt.
  8. From what I heard it was causing high pings according to EA.
  9. There are a lot of players that accuse of hacking but with punkbuster in place it catches most of that crap. I help admin a clan - Hitmen - and we are loose but dont tolerate any cheating or trolling. Its been a lot of fun. Hitmen Headquarters
  10. Wanted to make a spot for BC2 before everyone jumps on Battlefield 3. Whats your clan? Are you recruiting? Whats are your stats? I know EA killed the sigomatic so you'll have manually tell us your stats. Any tournaments coming up?
  11. From what I remember carbon fiber doesn't dissipate heat well. I just hope they go back to the R2 aluminium and some some cheap feeling "soft feel". I want my laptop to feel Hard, and strong. (keep perverse comments away)
  12. He was referring to going from 2 gpu's to 1. I'm assuming you meant the M17x not M15x. That has been single gpu and the screen size hasnt changed for any model has it? Gaming performance-wise the r3 want progression, more like a sibling split. They had to detune the R3 some to make a significant spot for the M18x. Hence no extreme cpu for r3.
  13. Everyone should be flocking over here since nbr closed another m18x thread. I just dont get BB and cpj? Dont they realize if they keep killing conversations, ppl will leave? No one was arguing, so I don't see a point in closing it.
  14. Remember, none of these are MY files, I'm just providing the links. Danxbix, you dont need system restore, read the post above yours.
  15. Long story short Ive lost the sleeve that holds pens and cd's for my XPS M1730 backpack, the insert with the handle. Does anyone have a resource to find this, or be willing to sell theirs?
  16. The icon x64 pack has stuffed up my sound? i have uninstall pack but now just get hissing out of my speakers ***Use at your own risk*** These are good looking and installed fine, however my system slowed some after installing and I had to install the Alienware Theme from dell and restore windows look to Windows default. The Alienware theme is listed in the first post. I haven't run into the taskbar issue with the screensaver, good call on a fix Brian.
  17. I haven't gone back to look, but I'm sure I'm getting flamed in the M18x thread on nbr about this. I essentially quoted this statement. I hate seeing posts that say the 6970 is as fast as 5870 in xfire...
  18. OK, not any high scores, but at least setting a baseline. 3DMark11 - P4020 3DMark Vantage - 14145 3DMark06 - 15439
  19. I'll get some up here soon. Started to at work and was busted, lol.
  20. I thought Getfound was going to be a pretty unique name. I thought it was different enough no one else would have it, especially knowing how I came up with the name. The story behind it was, I had a female friend that dated? this creepy older guy that always made weird comments. On their last date they were driving past this field, he looks out the window then back in and says "See that filed out there? pretty isnt it?" She replied "Yes". Then he says" That would be a nice place to get found" And thats where I came up with Getfound, about 12 years ago. I have tried Hotmail and Gmail both, and someone already has the getfound email address. What's your story?
  21. Crap, don't know why I didn't think of this, my wife just reminded me. You can call the CC company and have a temporary block on your card so Dell cant charge it. Little extra piece of mind. Don't block everyone, just Dell/AW. It's provided as part of being an Amex customer.
  22. Thanks. This place will be a huge improvement over "If you post it they will delete"! lol
