Hi all, I wonder if anyone has tried the latest version of Ubuntu or Kubuntu on XPS1730. This laptop works very cool on Windows XP (Core2Extreme, 8700SLI, 4GB RAM). It is just hard to find what might be the reason/solution... I would...

My M1730 (X9000, 8700 SLI) runs 30~35 (cpu) and 50~52 (gpu) when idle, as measured by i8kfangui. After playing games, the gpu tends to arise as high as 60. So I feel like this one doesn't seem to get very hot...

If you argue that the change of 7900gs to 8600gs is a downgrade, would Dell representatives understand it?

"M1710 specs - t2600, 2gb ram, 120gb 7200rpm hd, 7900 gtx" Thanks for the reply, republic07!!! Is M1710 a nicer machine than E1705? How would M1710 stack up against 1720 with 8600GT or 1730 with 8700GT?

Is 1720 8600GT that worse than E1705 7900gs?

Hi guys, My E1705 (T2500 2.0ghz / 1gb 667mhz / 1900x1280 / 80gb HDD / 7900 gs) has had numerous problems and Dell agreed to replace the system today. I haven't caught up with recent developments in Dell laptop systems. I am just...
