    Dell XPS M1710 @ [H] Consumer

    Have you had any success with this? It should have been present on the original build of the system, you may have deleted the restore partition when rebuilding from scratch. No Dell system advertises the Restore Partition, you have to know that it is there in advance. It should come with all...

    Dell XPS M1710 @ [H] Consumer

    That because there is no prompt, you just have to know that it is there, or be instructed to do this by tech support in order to find out.

    Dell XPS M1710 @ [H] Consumer

    While they may not send a restore disk with the system, there is a restore partition that should be present. Hold CTRL and F11 at the Dell screen. Link to the Dell support article on PC restore.

    Half Height Sound card

    I ordered the sound card I mentioned. Works pretty well, bracket was easy to install. Not much of a true audiophile so not one to comment on its audio quality, but hey, it works!

    Half Height Sound card

    Oh don't worry, I didn't think you were trying to get down on me at all! I honestly just realized that I should have been more specific in my query. I do the same thing anyone who ask me, "Do you know where I can get this?" Knowing what you're using it for and how much you're willing to...

    Half Height Sound card

    Sorry, should have been a little more specific. I'm probably just going to end up with a usb sound card, probably the best option given the limited selection of half height cards.

    Half Height Sound card

    Anyone know of a GOOD half height sound card and where I might obtain it? Hoping for one with support for 5.1, trying to add better sound to an older Optiplex GX. I know I could just get a usb sound adapter but I want to use that as a last resort. Thanks.

    I personally haven't actually tried the wire trick, all of my processors have unlock sufficiently for my needs recently. It is possible that the wire isn't actually making contact with the pins as you suggested, may be worth trying a different one and verifying that you're connecting the...
