M17x graphic R4 upgrade to the new Gen graphics

Hello world

I currently own an Alienware m17x r4, running a HD7970m graphics card. I want to update my graphics card and have access to a Nvidia GTX 970 m and GTX 980 m from the Alienware 17 r2 more recent model, I just want to clarify if the size / decision-making of the GTX 980 m or 970 m space my r4 m17x.

Yes I know my laptop replacement and improvement will be void/modify the warranty, and yes I know how to edit and replace the Board and Yes im aware they are of different generations of graphics.

Why im posting this is because I know the range 17 "alienware is dimmable-up, I just wanted to know the limits of the dimmable up how it is and if the 980 m or 970 m I have access also work in my laptop.

Thank you

    MY DELL LATITUDE D610 HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS? NOW IT IS WINDOWS 7, WHAT VERSION IS SUPPORT FOR USE WELL ON MY DEVICE? PLEASE HELP ME

    Read this: upgrade Windows 10 Dell Latitude D610

    Take a look at my answer, complete instructions.

    Basically speaking, Dell officially supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP on Dell Latitude D610 (and other models of Dx10).

    However it can really run Windows Vista and 7 at least, as long as you max out the RAM (2 GB, 2 x 1 GB, can be purchased at a great price in eBay) and install the drivers, in particular graphics drivers, look in Device Manager and see what drivers are needed manually.

    If you're lucky to have a D610 with ATi graphics card then you can even run Windows 8 and 10 with all drivers available, and I can tell you that it won't be slow dog not unlike a lot of people say, I don't have something similar (a HP Compaq nx8220) in common use. Keep as lean as possible (not bloatwares, anti-virus etc.) system, and it will serve you well.

  • HP 990 cm print is no longer the color since the upgrade to the new iMac with Mountain Lion

    Have an older CV (990c, m series) which worked fine on my iMac Leopard PPC (X.5.8) running.

    Since the upgrade to the new Intel iMac running Mountain Lion (the most recent software upgrades / w X.8.2) this printer will print only in black and white, despite having new color and cartridges inkjet black installed - even the test pattern that prints automatically when I changed the print cartridges only in B & W.

    The detailed print dialog box that appears when I try to print a color page does not include the usual option to print in color.

    I think that HP is no longer provides this older printer drivers but guess they are in the software updates in Mac OS.

    Someone has an idea how I can fix it, or is it just time to recycle this printer and buy a new one?

    TIA

  • Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

    I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

    In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

    If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

    In summary:

    1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
    2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
    3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
    4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

    You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

    You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

    I am entitled to an upgrade, as I have CS3 I want to buy a new mac and install the upgrade on the new computer. How can I do this?

    If you get two new machines and the CS3 allows you to get the price reduced for a year then you should certainly pursue it.  However, I always recommend people to try before you buy.  When you get the new machines install the trial version and make sure that it works for you correctly.  Once you have confirmed it correct functions, then you can purchase the subscription.

  • Just upgraded to the new version and now adjust no longer works, what is the solution?

    After the upgrade to a newer version the shrink to fix the width of the screen no longer works. What is the solution?

    Code changes for the HiDPI landed in Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

    You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

    • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    • You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce the size of the elements or use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

    If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

  • I've upgraded to the new firefoc but now I can't find all the useful stuff that were there as inages. Where did you hide these?

    Yep, I kept receiving system messages that my firefox browser has been exceeded that I needed to upgrade to the latest version and I finally did.

    But now, all very practical features to display until the present time I open firefox all which are parties. For example IMAGES. Where they were hidden and how do I access it?

    I have to say that I prefer the look and feel of Firefox before the upgrade.
    Features that users use often does not have to be hidden - who likes to click on the buttons as before arriving at what should be readily available?

    Versions of Firefox 4 + use a new build-in home page named Subject: House with a Google search bar on this issue (no internet access required for the loading of this page).

    What about: home page only shows a few clips and has a button to restore the previous session, as appropriate.

    If you want a home with extras page, and then set a different page than the homepage like www.google.com such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

  • Upgrade of the fourth Gen Time Capsule

    I have one Capsule 2 TB fourth generation model A1409) and it turned out to be very reliable.  Unfortunately, the installed HARD drive is finally running out of storage space and so I'm looking to upgrade.  I searched the web and found a lot on the Time Capsule hard drive upgrade, but the results are usually on other models and with smaller discs etc..

    If possible, I would like to install a reliable 4 TB drive in my fourth Gen T.C. to be used as a primary backup for my MacBook Pro retina and my machine to Windows 10 ASUS T300 CHI 2-in-1.

    Are 4 TB of HARD drive is compatible with the fourth Gen Time Capsule?  And someone has nested together that they can recommend please?

    I keep reading that the Hitachi drives are the best players generally ultra low failure rate, but all Hitachi drives seem to be 7200 rpm disks and I have also read that drives to 5400 RPM 'Green' are the best for the time Capsule as they run cooler and consume less energy?

    I also read that drives Apple used to use the Hitachi drives but now sometimes use Wester Digital Caviar Green, who seem to have fail decently low too, although not as good as Hitachi?

    If I install a reliable 4 TB of HARD drive, I'll be very happy.

    Thank you

    4 TB hitachi (but they belong no longer to hitachi, it is now divided between Toshiba and WD) are a green car. IE 5400 RPM.

    But the 4 TB WD Green are very good readers. These are now available in sizes up to 6 TB... Although I'd stick to 4 TB because it's as much data as you want to lose in a go. One of these drives work ok in the TC.

    Remember that all drives fail eventually. If you use the TC for something else that backups... also use a secondary backup as well.

    Also, Windows is not super great on a TC... It reads the disks in FAT32 and have 4 GB file limits. It is too slow... much more slow than buying a good NAS drive, or an external drive that can be in NTFS format.

    The drive used in the Gen4 is a WD Green. If it worked very well for now... That's already 3-4years or more, then it should be ok.

    Note the Gen4 may die suddenly... do not think that will happen if the real TC gives out.
