Oh.. ya. I guess so lemme see if I can messs around with that..

Wait m9700 has 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer?

That would mean? 11.3 surround sound.

Right? or am I reading this wrong?

Well i was saying that your were going to use 6.3 system that you should update your siggy to say 6.3 instead of 5.1... (not sure if your being sarcastic or not)
1 of my friends has a 7.7 system, you can realy tell when someone is sneaking up 2 you! He also has the bass up real high.(subs up high)
His windows vibrate so much i think there going to break... why i was asking if glass shatters in your room

O yaa... instead of his front middle speaker having a sub he duck taped it to bottom of his chair.
I went to see his brand new showing off crossfire computer... so i give it a good go at Day of Defeat :source ... right after i spawn i rocket hits near me and scared the living out of me, his windows where vibrating so much!

I got an ethernet, telephone, and and video adapter cables, but no SATA cable...

That is strange - I wonder why they just decided to through that in there?

Maybe its like those surprise bags you can get from convenience stores with different kinds of candy/toys in them. We each get something random to enhance the experience! Oh that sounds like fun *hopes for a baggy of extra screws or some heatsink*

You got screwed then Marker01, I love that freakin' mouse pad. I have tried several different styles and I have never found one quite like this one. It is honestly the best mousepad I have ever used...

I would call them up and ask them to send it to you. Mine came in a solid white envelope, unlabeled, well, I take that back it did say "made in china" on it...

Oh!! That's what was in the envelope. I figured it was some more paperwork or such. I blew it off for the laptop, too.

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall AMD64 Athlon Driver. Restart your computer, and install this:

Just like kaskek says, it is really easy. Just make sure you uninstall the driver via the add/remove programs list first.

You should have no problems with it.

There's a forum at AW, in the support section for you to list anything that didn't come with your order. Post it there, or better yet send a private message to AW-Steve here and I'm sure they'll arrange to ship one out.

Does it look like this?



That's the SLI cable.

Could be a sata cable for a second hard drive, but I thought this model had slot hd's that slide into a carrier and there was no cable per se...

Kazkek and Willb311,
Thanks guys. Easy, sleezy, and done.

Like I said, better to ask a dumb question than fly blind and do something done.

I just ran CS:S with the highest possible settings imaginable and it was flawless. Literally flawless. Wow. I got 83 fps on the video stress test in the game, where the gen 1 XPS I was using until yesterday would get 40 something. Yeehaw!
