Bro I still waiting for them to call me.

Called her (Kelly) but she on business trip sia from 1st -5th Sept.

What shld I do man?

And btw what are the NECESSARY THINGS I need to download when I get the laptop.


**Damn cheap man check out the TODAY today on the new pricing; I've saved around S$400.

COMMEX POWER!

The delivery dept will call u b4 they come down. Usually a day in advance. You don't need to install anything on your new lappy. Just plug in and boot up. Follows the screen prompts. Easy. U can always configure the system to your own style. The necessary drivers, etc are on the enclosed CDs. U can also d/l any new bios, patches from DELL website.

Hope this helps and enjoy your new DELL.

Dun be so blurr lah!!! She's just the sales person...get commission forget abt you liao!!
Next time, anything wrong (touch wood) just call Dell directly.

u look at e previous page, somebody state tt there was a patch available to d/l at e USA site to stop e problem.

 

[Daedalus]

Has anyone tried these?? Looking at the US dell support forum and the dell recall page, it seems that this patch is just for the hard disk and doesnt resolve the mic in issuess..

should not be a problem.

 

[dforster]

Short answer is yes the CD does contain some drivers, but its not linked to XP install, need to run seperate program.

I just reformated my own D800 so strongly suggest you download prior to your install.

1. All drivers, especially ethernet driver, as the XP one may not work and you will want to connect to internet or simething.
2. Service Pack 2
3. all Dell utilities

Once all was up, the utilities etc were actually improved on the defaults installed from when I bought it.

xp home... not much difference ba, although i haf e win xp pro oem but i tink i'm not going to install it to my lappy. Too troublesome as i nd to call up microsoft to activate agn. Unless there's prob, i shall stick with e xp home.
