Dell Laptop User Thread

[cyberian]

can someone answer my question please,

by adding a wwan card on my m1330 and call the ISP to provide 3G service, i can surf anywhere without having to worry if i can find a wireless network outlet like mac donald in singapore?

Yes you can surf anywhere. You need to subscribe to broadband on mobile with one of the telcos. A usb modem will be give so you don't really need to buy one, unless you have some spare $$$$$.

if i travel to china and indonesia, i can surf net too?

If you can afford the charges $$$ No problem.

how good is the connection and where to get wwan card for my m1330?
what is the procedures i need to take to make everything work?

How good is the connection is very much depends on quite a number of factors, like signal strength, nos of users on an APN etc.... Check this thread http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1823249

Need help with memory expansion

I'm using an Inspiron 710m bought in 2005. But I only have 512MB SDRAM. If I want to buy new RAM to add on (there is an expansion slot for RAM at the back), which type of RAM should I buy?

I think my current RAM is 512MB 333MHz PC2700 DDR SDRAM. I don't suppose I can use DDR2 SDRAM right? Please help.

Use CPU-Z to check memory size and location (e.g. Slot 1 or 2).

Sorry not very knowledgeable about memory. Does it mean I can only use DDR333 SDRAM?

Simply speaking, the laptop was made to use DDR-1 333MHz rams. You can use DDR-1 400MHz rams but they will run at 333 also. You cannot use DDR-2 rams.

There are 2 slots inside your Inspiron 700m, the primary slot is under the keyboard.
Be careful with the keyboard bezel if you are removing it to get to that memory slot.

[hellfire190]

Thanks cyberian & Diavonex! anw if i go down to sls to get 2 X 2 GB RAM, can get them to fix them in for me for free? =)

PS. I've only ordered my XPS 1530, not yet delivered~~

I would advise you to purchase 1 x 2GB and 1 x 1GB instead, unless you are using a 64-bit OS.

 

[hellfire190]

no doubt, 32-bit OS will only register 3.2GB - 3.5GB of DDR2, but it's running dual channel... or should i get just 1 X 2 GB DDR2 to make it 3GB RAM (running single channel then)... my current RAM config would be 2 X 1GB DDR2... which is more worth it, I'm really unsure...

You should get the ram in pair if you wanted to run DDR.
