The right thing to do for Dell and Nvidia would be to do a recall on these things. I mean a GPU should not be a 1-2 year "Wearable" item like tires are on a car. It's one thing to have a defective power supply, it's another...

Cool thanks, downgraded to A10 and now the laptop is much quieter. Now need to do some 24 hour crysis loops to try to kill the GPU. IT's ridiculous on how Nvidia is handling this issue. My next computer is going to have ATI graphics

I've read extensively what has happened to many M1330's (and other laptops) with Nvidia's G86 defective GPU. I stupidly installed Dell's latest A12 bios and now my fn runs constantly to save this stupid chip. I only have 4 months of...

Ic. Thanks Rich. I actually prefer the older style as although it was slightly bulkier, but it was definately more tidy.

I just got my m1330 and I noticed it doesn't have the oval power supply that allows you to wrap aorund the cord. Is this regular brick better than the older design? Is it on the m1330 that has this PS?

I color calibrated my CMO screen using spyder pro calibrator and the whites are now white and the colors mor vibrant. Am I still missing out by not exhanging for a tosh screen? IS the tosh much brighter?

When I bought my XPS 1330 it wouldn't let me select the 4 cell battery since I got the nvidia upgade. I'd like the lightest laptop possible so has anyone yet tried a 4 cell in a 1330 with nvidia?

I would only get the integrated vid card if you don't care about Vista Aero features. I would bet the Nvidia runs aero much better than integrated
