Better CPU, slightly less GPU. Not a bad machine though.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Dell XPS 8500 Thunderbolt Pci card

Hi, I have a Dell XPS 8500 and I was wondering if I can add a thunderbolt PCI card to my computer. If so, which ones are compatible? Thank you

Short answer is No not now Not ever. Current Precision Workstations might have a chance but an ancient XPS 8500 would not.
If you want a high bandwith expansion card the Orico Black card is the best you can get. Fully compatible with WHQL drivers.

Thunderbolt requires specific Intel® C602 Chipset and PCI-E 3.0 Bandwidth. You can't just plug any ole card in any ole bus and have it work. Intel® DSL2310 / DSL5320 /CV82524EFL Thunderbolt™ Controller is not universal working on Any system. XEON and Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) is also a requirement. Even the ASUS card is an X4 card.

The Thunderbolt in this case has a Header on the motherboard Not Just the PCI-E bus which it uses for POWER.

But I see some in ebay, are they mistaken?

No such thing, ebay has a lot of scams or mistakes. For example I once saw fifth gen. iPhone Touch. IPT3 only comes/came in 32 and 64GB models

XPS 8500 compatible graphic card installations and avoiding video BIOS issues

I see several threads looking for XPS 8500 video card upgrades that can be used with the stock 460w PSU or upgraded PSU. However, in upgrading the GPU for this machine, there are some cards that will not be compatible and will result in a black screen.    Even with a proper video card install, an adequate and/or upgraded power supply , the video card fans will be working, but there will be no video.   The problem lies in the BIOS for the XPS 8500 motherboard not recognizing the video card and this is a known issue that has carried over from the XPS 8300 to the current XPS 8500.
There have been vidoe BIOS upgrades from some card makers to correct this problem for certain cards, but there are a lot of legacy cards that won't work. Safest bet would be to use a newer card with the PCI 3.0 spec.
In the sticky in this forum a link to the current Dell drivers shows the following video cards that are supported with drivers for Windows 8:

Since these are Dell OEM cards that are being supported, there are also manufacturer specific issues where a given video card model may or may not work depending on its configuration. Whereas a XFX HD 6870 will work in the XPS 8500, the same card made by another manufacturer may not work.
Please keep this in mind when doing GPU and PSU upgrades and hopefully BIOS upgrades in the future will address these issues.
It would be helpful if you have a SPECIFIC card that does or doesn't work, to post the manufacturer and complete model number in this thread.
OS and Bios information also would be helpful, and if you are using the Dell PSU or an upgrade power supply. Specific model please!
Edit:
Please include following and any other helpful information

Compatible: Yes or No
Original card with system that worked:

I just installed a GTX 970 into my Dell XPS 8500 (Win 7 Pro-64bit) with out issues on the first try.
These were the parts:
Updated my XPS 8500 Motherboard Bios to version "A12" while waiting for my parts to arrive
EVGA NVIDIA GTX 970 Superclocked Graphics Card (EVGA 04G-2974-KR)
EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 750W Power Supply (PSU) (110-B1-0750-VR)
Note, that I choose the "Back Blower" version of the card rather than the double fan ATX 2.0 version. That's because the case design of the XPS 8500 doesn't have "Great" circulation.   The "Reference" style (Solid video card shell with a single fan -- that draws air in from the case in... and vents out the back of the PC) is better suited to the XPS.
Putting a new Powersupply into a Dell XPS 8500 is a bit of a trick.   All ATX Power Supplies have about the same Height and width (150mm or 5.09" wide) and (86mm or 3.38" high).    The problem is the Depth.   How deep into your PC can it reach (extending towards the back side of your CD/DVD).   Don't forget, you have that tiny sunken USB/Headphone jack -- midway on the case top. That port has cable poking on the underside:
I did some measurements, and realized that the MAX PSU depth that would work would be about 165mm or about 6.5".     That's tricky because I wanted a 750w plus power supply, and its REALLY, REALLY hard to find a good power supply under with less than (180mm / 7.09").   And, that wouldn't fit.
You should also note that the PSU has is recessed, so you actually have to "Drop it in" about an inch from the back of the case, and then slide it back. The PSU also lower than the motherboard (when the case is on it's side), so you can't angle it very much:
To get it in, you may have to push some of the cables from the "Top Breakout Port" flat against the "Top inside portion" of the case to give you a little room. Dropping the PSU into place took me about 4 tries (lowering it... then seeing which cords were in the way... pulling it out... rearranging and retrying) to get it to slide home to the back of the case.    After it was in, I waited until I had everything wired before putting in the 4 PSU screws to mount it permanently into place.
I scoured every 700+ Watt, 80+ certified PSU carried by Newegg (as of 12/1/2014). Then, I cross checked the newegg specs for each prospect with the manufacturer's website for verification. I only focused on PSU's with at least 8 reviews, and then only if they averaged a 3.5 rating (unless the low ratings were for frivolous things like rebates).
After looking up the specs on over 200 PSU's (over a 5 hour period), I only came up with 5 potentials:
EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 $69.99
RAIDMAX RX-1000AE 1000W $119.99
SeaSonic SS-750KM3 750W $139.99
CORSAIR AX series AX760 $159.99
Coolmax 1200W ZPG-1200B $282.35
I'm not certain that I absolutely NEEDED to put in a new power supply. The Dell shipped with a 470 watt PSU.   The EVGA GTX 970 is rather efficient (compared to other cards) and apparently only draws about 175watts.    The calculations were close because I have the SSD, 3 hard drives and a DVD.   In the end, I elected to switch out the power supply for $69.99.   The machine is 2 years old, and has been on 24/7 for almost 26 months.    Plus, (as I discovered later) the new PSU has a bigger fan and vents heat more efficiently.
When hunting for a PSU, I want to reiterate why you MUST ensure that any PSU you get is 165mm or less in depth, and you can't tell anything by looking a a particular series. Many manufactures have single models within a series that is just "smaller". You have to look at the specifications of each individual model.      If you can find PSU around 150mm (5.09" deep) you will have a much happier install experience, but you may have to settle for something in the 500-650w range.
Using EVGA PSU's as an example -- All the EVGA models over 700 watts (except the one I found) are (180mm / 7.09in).    Only the Supernova 750B1 is 165mm.   As a trade-off, the 750b1 is rated at "Bronze" efficiency rather than "Gold" or "Platinum". This isn't bad, and may makes sense. The ratings only deal with "Power Efficiency" not quality of build. Compared to the OEM Dell, these are in a different class.    I suspect that the 750B1's "BRONZE" rating is what allowed the smaller form factor.   Most high-wattage CPU's use the increased depth for larger heat sinks and heat dissipation. The bronze runs slightly warmer (compared to Silver/Gold/Platinum -- but not to the origional PSU in the Dell) , but it allows the required 15mm reduction in size that lets it fit into your case.   The quality of the PSU is still more than adequate for my needs, and the price can't be beat.
Now for installation.   I won't say it was EASY to get the PSU into the case. I had to disconnect all my SATA power and cables. I had to bend the cables on the ATX Case Top a little bit, and I had to be very patient reconnecting.
I also had to reroute the wire that ran from the top of the case to the Mini-Card Slot (?).   I honestly didn't know what those were (they sit behind the Rear USB Plugs on the mother board), and they snap on with tiny little clasps like the snaps on Jeans. I tried not to disconnect them (becasue they looked fragile) but I accidentally popped them off.   Thank goodness, they fasten back on. There are even little arrows above each terminal (one solid black, one an outline to indicate white) so you get them back on in the right order:
I found it handy to stuff many of the cables in the empty "Floppy drive" spot below the CD Drive.   I also found that I had to plug the cables in a certain order -- because some cables blocked off access to the terminals for others.   (The SATA/Power for the CD Drive, for example is right behind the PSU. I had to do those first, because I'd never get my fingers in there if I saved that for last).
Now for the pre-install preparation.   I'd updated the BIOS to A12 and downloaded the installer for the GeForce drivers before switching out my hard ware.
The A12 Bios driver's are a couple of years old, but they allowed detection of my GTX 970. Although traditional wisdom usually says, "Don't update your BIOS unless you are trying to solve a problem", I elected to just install the A12.   From my reading, the only people who seem have had problems seem to be those who didn't buy EVGA cards, have XPS 8700's (not 8500) and/or didn't install the A12 bios.
Sure, if you read the A10/A11/A12 bios release notes -- none of the fixes cited in the updates say anything about video card detection.    BUT, consider this:
"If decision to keep the A09 bios prevents your newly installed video card from displaying the desktop, do you REALLY want to temporarily REMOVE all that hardware JUST so you can install the A12 Bios? And then, put all that new hardware back in again?"
Not me. I considered the update "Low Risk" considering the alternative. Plus, I consider the risk of "Accidental Damage while Handling Hardware" to greater than a potentially frivolous BIOS update.
Somebody asked me, "Which version of the Bios did you install?"   It's an old one, and the only one on the Dell site for an XPS 8500 (Early 2012 edition):
Dell XPS 8500 / Vostro 470 System BIOS
A12.EXE
Release date 29 Oct 2013
Last Updated 31 Oct 2013
Version A12
The A12 BIOS update is cumulative (includes A09, A10a and A11), so installing A12 will bring you up to the most recent version (incorporating all the versions in between). You do NOT need to install any of the interim versions.
I uninstalled all my old ATI Drivers before I shut down the first time. I didn't install the Geforce drivers until after I switched out my hardware. (I just wanted the installer on my desktop -- ready and waiting).
All in all -- it worked. The card extends about 2-4" further into the case, but it fits. The PSU sits about 4" away from the back of the CD, but it fits.   And, it boots.
I just finished playing "Far Cry 4" on the Nvidia setting at 2560x1080.   The new setting (beyond Ultimate) showed up after I plugged in the card. I've also been playing Assassins Creed Unity (Which I picked as my free game with the card -- since I already had Far Cry 4).   Both seem to play 60fps without any issues.
Because of the fan on the PSU and the video card venting out the back, my machine actually runs cooler now.
Hope that helps.   My total cost was around $435. $349 for the card and $69 for the psu (plus tax).

P.S. If you are wondering about that weird brace to the right of the PSU...   I added a 3rd hard drive below the CD Drive. There are only the "Front mounting holes" , so I got a little creative and straightened out one of the "PCI Mounting Plates" from an old ATX Case.   I bent the section with the screw fasteners with a pair of pliers, and the bracket as the perfect length to attach diagonally -- as a cross brace to hold the back of the hard drive in place:

My 3rd Gen iPod Touch won't update to iOS 5

I'm trying to update my iPod from iOS 4.2 to 5 but I can't seem to get it. For the past week I've been having problems with my iPod, mainly none of the apps I bought, that did not come on, it will not open. I've been told that iOS 5 is compatible with the 3rd generation iTouch but it isn't working for me. Any help?

What happens when you try?
Are you sure it is a 3rd gen?
If it is 8GB, then it is a sceond gen.

From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
I hope this helps.

Dell XPS One 27 All In One Desktop PC Windows 10 Graphics Driver Issues

I am posting to let Dell know about a problem with the current Dell XPS One 27 all in one desktop PC running the technical preview of Windows 10. The XPS 27 uses a NVidia mobile graphics card that utilizes the 750M graphics chipset. Dell publishes a compatible driver on its support pages (Driver 331.82). This driver works on Windows 10 technical preview builds 9962 and 10041, however the Windows Update feature in Windows 10 technical preview forces driver updates. The one being forced by Windows Update (Driver 349.90) is not 100% compatible with the hardware in the XPS 27.
When the XPS 27 is running driver 331.82 (supplied by Dell) then Office 365 is both installable and will run normally, however when Windows Update forces the driver update to 349.90, Office 365 is no longer installable, and if it has already been installed, then it will crash whenever any of the apps within the office suite are launched.
Currently in Windows 10 technical preview, there is no way of stopping Windows Update from installing the updated driver. Even if you roll the driver back to the one supplied by Dell, Windows Update will then re-install 349.90 over the top of it.
I have left detailed feedback for Microsoft using the Windows 10 feedback system. I am posting this here to let Dell know about the problem as well.

Greetings. The problem associated with Office 365 has been resolved. I am currently running Windows 10 Build 10074 and I am running Nvidia's GeForce 350.12 driver.
Nvidia released some beta drivers for Windows 10 last week. These are currently 352.??. They have one for the 750M chipset, however the implementation of the 750M chipset used by Dell in the XPS One 27 doesn't appear to be standard., The driver won't install, citing "no compatible hardware found"
Another problem with the current 350.12 drive in either Windows 10 build 10061 or 10074 is that it has broken all 3D gaming. For example Skyrim on Steam no longer runs, and neither does Diablo III on Battle.net. But at least Office 365 works, so I would rather be productive than entertained.

Hooking apple tv 3rd gen to a new Dell projector

Hello, I purchased a 3rd gen apple tv so I could hook it up to a new dell projector (sorry cant remember model). Set up was fine and I was able to tap into the wifi at my work. The only problem is there is no computer to tap into and I wasnt able to mirror my iphone or ipad on it. When I went to home sharing and put in my itunes name and password it didnt accept it. Any ideas what's up. I purchased the apple tv so i can mirror my ipad for presentations and avoid all the cables. Thank you for any help.

Somewhat the same as vazandrew, I don't know, haven't tested it, but since thunderbolt supports both HDMI and HDCP, I'd be inclined to think it would be OK. Of course you'd also need to make sure the resolution of the Apple Tv output was supported.

Linux 3.12 and streaming media on a Dell XPS 13: kernel panic

Hi all,
Shortly after upgrading from Linux 3.11.6 to 3.12, I started getting kernel panics while playing streaming media (in particular from Youtube and The Daily Show). Here is a camera shot. The crash would not take place immediatly, but perhaps after 15 minutes of streaming. After downgrading to Linux 3.11.6 everything works fine. Therefore, it is clear to me that the issue is related to the Linux 3.12 kernel, but this is all I know.
The fifth-to-last line from the camera shot reads:
[11438.332699] RIP [<ffffffff8129e160>] __sg_page_iter_start+0x20/0x20
A quick Google search reveals that __sg_page_iter_start is a function inside the scatterlist.h library in the Linux kernel, which apparently deals with memory paging, but my knowledge about this stuff is so poor that the message is almost meaningless. I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me a hint about this.
I did not find anything useful in the journal, but here are the last few journal lines for 2 different crash instances:

In the first journal log, the following line calls my attention:
Nov 15 00:26:02 xps kernel: perf samples too long (2530 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50100
However, this seems to be a normal occurrence after playing games (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170471), so I would guess this is not related to the kernel panic.
For reference, here are some hardware specifications of my Dell XPS 13:

Posted to [email protected], I hope I just haven't dawdled for too long and this can make it to 3.13 final.
Hopefully this should be sufficient information, I've linked to this thread too. I've also mentioned I'm willing to beam one at someone from Amazon, with 2-day shipping to the USA the Pluggable branded adapter is just under NZD$40, which I can easily live with.
===========================================================================================================
USB3 gigabit ethernet adapters with the ASIX AX88179 chipset (LevelOne USB0401-V3, Plugable USB3-E1000, SIIG JU-NE0211-S1 and others) are experiencing kernel panics in usb_hcd_map_urb_for_dma since 3.12. The issue does not seem to directly correlate with low or high network activity, occurring seemingly at random. Some panics occurred less than 5 minutes from boot and tens of megabytes of network transfer, while on other occasions it would be stable for multiple days with tens to hundreds of gigabytes of line-rate throughput and several sleep/resume cycles.
Both my Sony Vaio Pro 13 and another user reporting this issue on the Arch forums [1] are Intel-based, my USB controller is an 8086:9c31 (Lynx Point LP), the other is reported as a C210/7 series (unknown PID). A third with a Haswell Dell XPS has attempted my workaround and reports similar success.
I have a mediocre quality photo of my laptop's screen from one of these panics [2], the call trace - which is similar but not identical between my machine and that of the other user reporting the issue - is as follows:

So far as I can tell, the driver is unaffected as late as 3.11.6, but problematic as of 3.12 (and still affected in 3.13-rc5). The history of drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.c for this time period yields this patch, which at least in my somewhat limited understanding appeared a likely candidate. I've reverted this on my system - against several linux-next builds from the last 3-4 weeks - and have had no issues with this network controller since.
commit 3804fad45411b48233b48003e33a78f290d227c8
Author: Ming Lei <[email protected]>
Date: Thu Aug 8 21:48:25 2013 +0800
USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma
This patch enables 'can_dma_sg' flag for ax88179_178a device
if the attached host controller supports building packet from
discontinuous buffers(DMA SG is possible), so TSO can be enabled
and skb fragment buffers can be passed to usb stack via urb->sg
directly.
With the patch, system CPU utilization decreased ~50% and throughput

Unfortunately I have not retained the built kernel from a broken 3.12 build, so the system information below reflects the patched linux-next kernel I am running currently.
I understand this may be a somewhat obscure piece of hardware, I am willing to assist by drop-shipping one to someone from Amazon (or local country equivalent if the price is not extortionate) should it be required.

Cypress Touchpad - DELL XPS 12

Hello,
I'm owner of a DELL XPS 12 convertable notebook which has as inpunt device an ATMEL maXTouchDigitizer (Touchscreen) and a Cypress touchpad.
The touchscreen works like expected, after an installationen of a new Arch Linux System with desktop enviorement (XOrg - Server + Gnome). But the Touchpad would'nt recognized by the system and passed to XOrg. It is also not listed in XInput or dmesg. I'm running the current default kernel (3.17.x).
If i run a live enviorment like Antergos (Arch derivate) then both, the Touchscreen and the Touchpad, works like a charm and out-of-the-box. The touchpad is listed in dmesg, XInput and HWInfo.
i have a problem to get my Cypress touchpad working on my DELL XPS 12 after installation of Arch Linux.
This means if i running a live enviorement like Antergos (Arch Linux derivate) the touchpad works like expected. Also my Touchscreen works without any problems.
I checked the loaded modules by lsmod in the live enviorment and the installed system. Only the "psmouse" module is missing in my installed system.
An other difference is the kernel version. Antergos LiveCD uses Kernel 3.15.x.
I've tried different things, kernel-patches, blacklisting of i2c-hid module, but nothing works.
I know that both kernels have the driver for an Cypress tochpad integrated.
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Best Regards,
Elazar

Hi Matheus,
If you cannot install that driver,please check if you have chosen the right version.e.g. 64bit or 32bit.
Please let us know your system version.
Also,try to download the driver from Intel official website:

Yoga 2 Pro vs Dell XPS 11

From what I can tell in the current marketplace, these two tablets are at the top of the heap and the only true competition for each other.
The Yoga 2 Pro and Dell XPS 11 each exceed the other in numerous metrics.
Here is a quick comparison:
1) Price - Yoga 2 Pro gives you an i5 with 128 gb SSD for $999. The XPS gives you only an i3 with an 80 gb SSD for that price.
2) Ports - XPS 11 wins this one with 2 USB 3.0 ports vs the Y2P 1 USB 3.2 andd 1 USB 2.0.
3) Screen - Y2P offers more real estate and higher PPI by 20 points than XPS 11.
4) Portability - XPS 11 is thinner, has a smaller footprint and is 1/2 pound lighter.
5) Keyboard - Y2P offers an excellent real keyboard. XPS offers a weird kind of flat, non-depressable surface that offers haptic feedback but apparently is hard to type fast on, especially if you have fingernails.
6) Active Digitizer - Easy win for XPS 11 here. Big fumble by Y2P.
7) Best for Business - Depends. Bigger better screen and better keyboard vs thinner, lighter, smaller footprint and a pen. Some Legacy programs such as Access with forms designed for desktops may be a bit small on the XPS.
8) Best Desktop Replacement - Have to give this to the Y2P based upon the larger screen.
9) Wifi - This one goes to the XPS11 as it offers dual channel AC.
So it's a tough call. What do you guys think? IMHO if the Y2P had included an active digiitizer this would have been a no-contest win for the Y2P.

To do a proper comparison, items that are purely personal preference pieces (size of display, keyboard style etc) should be left out. When this is done, it really is a no brainer. The XPS 11 is hands down the superior machine. This is not to say that one machine will be more compatible or a better match for a particular person based on those personal preference items or perceptions of them. Everyone has a different liking as to what is an ideal display size or keyboard style for them. That is also why many people use a docking station setup so they can use full size keyboards and large 27" screens while working in the office for 8 plus hours. Price difference between the 2 machines is not siginificant and not a consideration if the superior XPS 11 machine has additional value that justifies it to the owner That said, there are other significant core advantages associated with the XPS 11 not mentioned. The XPS 11 uses state of the art NBT Corning Gorilla glass. If you read up on what that means you will see why that is hugh and also why there is additional cost to manufacture with it. The Y2P uses the "U" series processor and not the lower voltage "Y" series used by the XPS 11. The "Y" series is better suited to small form factor ultrabooks and power efficiency. The XPS 11 has a higher display NITS rating of 400. This is at the top of its class and is extremely important for those that may use them in an outdoor mobile activity. The XPS 11 is constructed of carbon fiber and not of the cheaper and much weaker external plastic construction of the Y2P. At 11.6" and 2.5 pounds, the XPS 11 is closer to a comfortable large tablet usage size than a 13" and half pound heavier Y2P. Given the wireless AC standard, it is becoming poor corporate judgement to release a new ultrabook that does not support it. For Lenovo to release an ultrabook that does not support dual band wireless when dual band access points have been in homes for years is completely unacceptable. Same goes with no pen support when the machine is a convertible hybrid. The XPS 11 material comprising the flat keyboard suface grips better when face down than hard plastic buttons. The closer you look at the engineering, design considerations, materials used, the more it becomes clear as to which platform is better built and thought through. Dell has had the luxury of analyzing Lenovo's Yoga build history and has done an incredible job addressing the serious short comings in the Yoga series. That is a significant achievement since the Yoga is still a very good overall machine.

Ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount to iTunes

My ipod (3rd gen.) does not mount on iTunes (using a Mac). When plugged in, it appears on my desktop as if it were a jump drive.
I was planning on re-formatting it with Disk Utility but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. I also realised that the Format is listed as Windows NT File System (NTFS) when I have the disk utility window open. If I need to format with Disk Utility, what format option should i choose? (i.e. Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled), Mac OS Extended etc.)
Thanks in advance!!!

Now when I connect the Ipod to my Mac, it mounts as a Device on iTunes. I want to sync only a few items from my library onto this iPod - when I attempt to do this (by either adding the specific music to the "music" section on the iPod or creating a playlist and using Autofill to fill the iPod), the iPod says that it has Synced but when I disconnect the iPod, there is no music on it. Why?
