Mcafee SecurityCenter worst Antivirus of the year!!

i would simply vote McAfee SecurityCenter as the worst Antivirus of the year... stay away from this crappy AV because:- 1. it is resource hungry 2. it will not allow you to exclude a certain files or folders from being scan !!!! Reason no 2 will be enough to get you kill because certain files and folders are meant to be excluded from being scan....just imagine if you are running virtual machine and the AV keep on scanning your VM client files..wtf!! A simple google on the net return results indicating this is an old issue which McAfee have not fix till today... If you want to have fast performance for your Windows Vista or Windows 7 .. stay away from McAfee SecurityCenter .. in my case my alienware m11x come with this lousy AV and now i have to uninstall it... maybe of asking dell for a refund of this AV..

Alienware m11x unmask !!

I actually log a case with Dell regarding the low quality rubber feet which deteriorate after less than 1 week usage.. then Dell agree to change the rubber feet for me. i must admit their customer service is very good.. today the Dell customer service call me and mention the engineer will be onsite to change the rubber feet for me..but to my surprise is not the rubber feet..is the whole back plate!!! This is how the shiny thing look like.. After the Dell engineer open up the Alienware m11x this is how it looks like... The 4GB DDR3 Ram I notice that they use Samsung RAM They are using the Samsung Battery ... Here is the culprit...i cant use the SIM card slot cause the WWAN module is not there.. i might source for one so i can just insert the sim card into the sim card slot and start to surf the net. The harddisk. i did not check it..most probably Samsung again.. Ok the speaker location is kinda of strange.. it is not located at the best location...so that is the reason why we get

Running Adobe photoshop 4 in Alienware m11x

Image
Double click to enlarge...this setting allow alienware m11x to run adobe cs4 in warp speed. Running Adobe photoshop 4 in Alienware m11x is a questionmark. I have been wondering whether does the 1.3 ghz processor have enough juice to run the CPU intensive application. But wait CS4 can utilize the GPU processor as well! And Alienware M11x have more than enough GPU power...so i found out that enabling the option above will allow you to run Adobe CS4 in a silky smooth speed... Enable the checkbox "Enable OpenGL Drawing"

Howto play HD / MKV player for Alienware M11x

1. Download Media Player Classic: Home Cinema (GPU accelerated). 2. Extract it somewhere on your drive (you will need WinRAR for this). 3. Go inside "mpc_gpu" folder and run the executable "mpc-hc.exe". A quite old-school looking player will open, but it is one of the most powerful. Directions for optimizing are as follow: 1. View --> Options --> Player --> Check Launch files in fullscreen --> Press OK 2. View --> Options --> Playback --> Output --> Mark EVR Custom Pres. 3. Play --> Shaders --> Combine Shaders --> Add "sharpen complex 2" and "16-235 -> 0-255 [SD][HD]" --> If you watch a lot of interlaced videos, add deinterlace, too. http://www.lowfps.com/play-1080p-x264-smoothly-using-gpu-acceleration

Alienware M11x 3dmark06 Benchmark and Temp

Image
I overclock the stock m11x CPU to 1.73 and the GPU 335m is stock standard. This is what i get..maybe if i overclock the GPU and kill all other Antivirus program then i get better results but i would not attempt it..benchmark means nothing..but to be able to play command & conquer 3 at ultra setting is what matter.. After the benchmark i check the temperature of the CPU n GPU which is pretty low i would say for a notebook this small..
