Nope. I don't have the "Mobile" group at all, maybe it's a thing of the Dell driver or something to do with Windows Vista? nTune has a setting to override the GPU clock speed. I might tweak it if needed but I'm not too...

I cleaned the heatsink today and removed two small chunks of dirt and dust from its guts. Not too big but I think they still affected performance. I installed nTune and used it to monitor Flight Simulator 2004. Temperature reached 72°...

Hi. I'm having a similar problem. Maybe not the same. First I'll suggest you to: - This is the most important: Check that your power settings are in best performance mode (not economy mode) - Don't run games on battery - Over the...

Thank you marker01. I think you're pointing me towards the right stuff. I've been testing with Flight Simulator and it runs beautifully at a steady 30FPS... For some minutes. Then it goes down to 14 or 10 FPS. If I minimize it for a...

Sorry, nope. I got the 8600GT GPU. Precisely thinking of a little bit of gaming. My old laptop had a Mobility Radeon X1600. Thanks for your help!

Hi All, After months of purchasing it I decided to take my M1530 (T7500 @ 2.20 GHz, 3GB RAM) for a spin in gaming. I tried Bioshock, Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X and the results are seriously disappointing. The...

Well my 8202 came back exactly like yours except for the fault: my USB ports work well but now my notebook turns off all of a sudden sometimes. I will send it back but first I have to get used to waiting another two weeks to use it again.

Thanks for the very nice pictures flipcody. Well I switched HDDs with another TM8200 which has no screen issues with no effect, my TM8200 still has speckles while the one who hadn't still has not so 100% sure it is not a driver or...
