I thinking about getting a new desk top and have been looking at the dell studio hybrid, I'm looking for some thing not to big that will work with my 32" samsung TV and and be a good media center and a good all round computer for around £400 so that around $600 i was just wondering what you would recommend. many thanks Callum

is the RAM user upgradeable?

I been messing around with the hybrid for a few weeks now. I cant understand why the VMC is so jerky. Do u think dell would beable to fix it?

It's possible that through driver updates the performance might improve, but there's only so much they can do - Dell simply made a bad choice by only offering the Intel GPU. - Jason

In this video u use an IR to USB receiver. What is the make and model? It sounds like we would like to use the S H for the same application

I think that's the kind you get with HP laptops, but in general you get them with Windows Media Center remotes that are sold from NewEgg and other places online. - Jason

cool tv.....man i can play my runescape and gta games with much fun

ok thanks for the info bro :)

is there any way with which we can upgrade the graphics card of this system with any mobile GPU.. sorry if its a noobish question. Also i mainly wanna buy it for my home theater setup like u did. so are the graphics enough for full hd, i saw in ur video that they were but did u experience any problem at all so far with full hd videos ? n last question how much graphic mb do u get from the graphic card

I won't say it's impossible to upgrade the GPU, but you'd have to be a hard-core hacker to do it. And size matters too - if the GPU was even a few MM bigger, it might not fit. Yes, it can handle HD video - there's an optional Blu-ray drive, so the X3100 can handle HD video. What it can't handle, however, is the Media Center UI - it was jerky and chunky, so for me that was a deal-breaking. The X3100 uses mostly system RAM, I think it has maybe 8 MB on-board. - Jason
