Almighty1 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 If you manage to make it work, I will swap mine for yours. (minus the HDs) :) :) If I had gotten hear earlier I could have told you the card you are running is only DX 8.1 complient, which means it is already outdated. Since you have 3 I8200s you should be the first to try to fit a better card in yours, besides if you break it you can buy a better laptop with a GF 6800 go, you must have money for it you can buy 3 uber pimped out I8200s. Bill Edit: Ducktape usually works wonders for me.... Nah... the reason I thought it worked was because in our AIM chat a few weeks ago, I thought your 3DMark05 was working on your Inspiron 8200... But didn't know it didn't... I actually only bought 2 8200s. The third one was like a gift from Dell as a shareholder. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Well, unless your company bought that extra ram, 2x faster HDs (for each), better graphics cards, and faster proccessors, I know you must have spent somewhere between 4 to 10 grand on them. The total price for the three pimped out I8200s would have been like over $15,000 when I got mine in late 2002. (atleast if you ordered it all from Dell...) Mine was still expensice, but only cost a fraction of that... Also, how did you think 3Dmark05 worked on my laptop? 3Dmark03 will not even run on it. (last time I tried) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty1 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Nope, I didn't spend that much since the processors were bought by the employer but the other stuff, I didn't really pay that much for it. They were all ordered from Dell. Besides, my money is spend more on high-end audio/video equipment and not really in computers as I usually get evaluation samples at times. Somehow, I just assumed that 3DMark05 worked for you as when I mentioned it, you didn't say it didn't work.. hehe. 3DMark03 does work on my machine and I thought 3DMark05 did too because I couldn't remember if I did a test after I installed or not.

Bill Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 3Dmark03 did not work last time I tried it, I bet that with these newer drivers it will though... Also, last time I checked those 1 GB RAM modules that work in the I8200 cost like about $500 each, and you have 6.... Then there are those Quadro cards you have which must have cost like $200-$300 each, then there are the HDs which are about $150 each... I will try 3Dmark03 again if I have the chance....

Bill Heh, that's retail value though... my employer, the US Government as I work for NASA has tons of $$$ so it's basically having them buy stuff for me to use as well. The modules were $900 each since these are Elpida modules (Hitachi/Mitsubishi/NEC merged). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty1 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I just wished Dell made newer machines than the Inspiron 8200/Latitude C840/Precision Workstation M50 that were 3 spindles though. Same issue with IBM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 3 Spindles? You meen as in like bays? I think my i8200 with my uber modular bay still pwns some newer laptops that don't have them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Bill, 'Spindles' means Drives build in, not nescarely' bays' Ie Floppy, CD/DVD and HD in most cases for 3 spindle, this usually mean Lappies with 15" or larger displays. Most common epsecially for Toshiba and Dell are 2 spindle drives (CD and HD) and smaller displays (14.1" and smaller) These normally have external floppy drives. Thin and light lappies are normally single spindle (HD) and have external everything. Some of the huge 17" behemoths can have 4 spindles (2 x CD's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I guess when I said bays i meant drives or whatever, I can have a HD, optical drive, battery, and something else in my modular bay. (CD, DVD, HD, Floppy, ZIP, battery, ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I actually made a mistake above as the new Lappies can have 2 x HD, 2x CD, floppy. 5 spindles oohhh aaahhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 How big would one of those laptops be? :) And I thought mine was big and heavy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I do believe the Alienware 7700 (256MB go6800) can weight upto 18lb. My current lappy weighs 8.5lb and is quit large (15.7" screen), it is dwarved by these desktop replacement powerhouses. But the performance is out of this world, and battery life is about 45 min to make up for it. My lappy used to do 4.5 hours before the battery control circuit packed a sad. They come with 150-180w power supplies, my current one is 70w. Imagine 2 x DVD burners, and 2 x 60GB (7200RPM) HD's RAID 0 2GB of pipelined RAM, and a 256MB PCIe go6800.

Almighty1 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hmm, how many things can you put into the Inspiron 9100/9200 or XPS though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZTOP77 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Heh Something for you guys :) http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=41605 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Yes saw this a few months ago, even have a link somewhere. Sager make the cases for quite a few manufacturers. When you buy an Alienware or Eurocom go6800 chances are it's made by Sager. The OEM just rebadge or in some cases add a new case to the MB.
