Dell 9300 upgrade question Bought a Dell 9300 couple years ago and I'm wondering if upgrading my hard drive from 5400 to a 7200 rpm will I notice a big enough boost in performance to justify the purchase? and second will this work...

Ok Got off the phone with a Dell rep and they acknowledged I entered all my info but some how it was lost and had not been processed.Is all straight now, should be a week for delivery for new battery. I should have done this a long time...

sorry if this was already mentioned My battery was recalled about 6 months ago, I went on to Dells battery recall web site and entered all the information they asked for and said a new one would be mailed out. Is anyone else waiting...

Hi' I have the ATI MobilityRadeon X300 in my 9300, question whats the difference between a video bios and video driver? Should both be updated? Thanks in advance

A05 runs hotter, going back too A04 solved this for me.

Also make sure that the process Ati HotKey Poller is also on auto and not disabled, this will also prevent your lcd from not turning off.

Also noticed that some USB wires are thicker than others, Checked writing on the wires but they give no clue to manufacture date or transfer rates. I'll probably just throw the old thin cables. ITS a mess !

I have a load of USB wires and now I cant figure out which wires are 2.0 or 1.0. Is there a difference or are they the same ? Thanks in advance
