Proper/decent Bios for flagship XPS 720 desktop (e.g. A06)

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops, XPS products submitted by huggy_bear Mar 19

Plz provide a proper/decent Bios to the XPS 720.
Latest revision (A05) apparently fixes some of the issues reported by customers but there are many more remaining, e.g.:
1) official/proper support for Quad-core Penryn-family CPUs (i.e. Yorkfield Q9450, Q9550 and QX9650).
2) proper support for EPP SLI memory (e.g. reportedly only a few brands/models currently supported...).
3) overclocking options in the Bios to let "advanced users" tweak the FSB, memory clock ratio, voltages, etc... 14 Comments »

ATX conversion kit for XPS 700 / 710 / 720

Desktops, XPS products submitted by huggy_bear Mar 19

Apparently the upcoming XPS 730 is now using a standard ATX form factor for its motherboard (vs. BTX for the previous XPS generation(s), i.e. XPS 700, 710 and 720).
Since the XPS 700 was originally advertised as upgradeable at its introduction, it would be more than welcome from Dell to offer the option of an upgrade/conversion kit for XPS 700/710/720 owners to upgrade their system to the same ATX form factor (for a decent price). Kit would provide the following components:
1) ATX motherboard backplate mount
2) Power supply connectors/ATX converter
3) back panel
4) front panel I/O connector/ATX converter (power button, LED lights, I/O (USB/IEE1394), sound...). 25 Comments »
