I will mainly be using the high res for really crisp games and movies.

Same thing over here, 1900. It's kinda difficult though to deside when you can't look at the screen before you buy it.

I haven't done any clocking myself, the Mobileforce drivers did it for me. Guess i'll try to step up a bit more tomorrow, i really want a mouse too, havin a hard time with the touchpad

Anyone know a good prog. to undervoltage the processor? Thought i'd try that out too.


EDIT

Also, i got some probs with the network connection, or the lack of it I have both my old computer(wired network) and my 9400(wireless) connected to my Netgear router, i can access the internet with both computers, but i can't get into one computer from the other. Could anyone please explaine to me how i should do? In a very simple way, thank you

fredrikandersson,

If you already set up the network, then the Windows Firewall is blocking it...I just shut off the firewalls and then when I got into the other computers, I just mapped it as a network drive. I put the firewalls back up and poof...I have access from anywhere in my house...to files and my printers.

Make sure both computers belong to the same workgroup (right click my computer, choose properties, click on the Computer Name Tab etc.).

Make sure both computers have file sharing turned on (you may want to setup advanced security around this)

Try clicking in your Windows Explorer address bar and type:

\\your_computer_name

Browing through My Network Places for computers doesn't always co-operate. Once you connect it will just add a link to it there anyways.

Still not working? Try pinging each computer from a commond prompt (by ip and by computer name). Can you ping?

I'm sure others will have comments or direct you to the appropriate board for answers.

Say...

Does anyone know if those "snap-on" covers for the i9300 will work for the 9400 as well?

[USAFdude02]

Check the dimenstions on Dell's site...that will tell you. I don't see why not, they are the same case...practically.

USAFdude02 & Flames_Fan_Forever : thanks. I'll look in to it when i get home, i'm at work at the moment :S



*i wonder how my precious 9400 is doing right now*

[Flames_Fan_Forever]

Well Fredrik, when you get home crank up a few games on it and tell us how it is for gaming? BF2, COD2, RCT3

[fredrikandersson]

Unfortunately i don't have any newer games, due to the lack of performande in my old computer :P The only new game i got is NFS: Most Wanted, and it doesn't run properly even on the lowest settings on my old one Guess i gotta go purchase some new games tomorrow.

EDIT

I liked the fact that i could use my cellphone as a remote, since it lacked the remote 'out of the box'. And i looked very quickly at the Dell Media Experience, and i thought it looked good. Now i just need some music and movies so i can use it for real
