Thanks for your help :) , well since i will be studying design its a fact that ill be editing pictures/ hdvideo/ but i wont compile code anyyy time soon and a virtual machine? never! lol so do you think i still need the 16 gb of ram?

How can i upgrade to more ram later? i can send it to apple and they add the extra ram? isnt it like welded to the motherboard?

And yes with a google search of apple student discount germany i was redirected to the students discount site, i save like 240 euros with this :)
[Off-topic] Theshawty:
I'll never understand how people can actually consider paying 3k euros for something with sub-sub-par performance.
[Off-topic] shimp208:
I would still get the 16 GB since you'll be editing a lot of HD video and pictures it will save you a lot of time with editing tasks in the end. You can upgrade to more ram if you choose to go with 8 GB ram by opening the memory slot on the bottom of the laptop taking out the old memory and putting in a new Apple certified 16 GB kit, you can send it to Apple but it's very simple to do it yourself. And no the memory is not welded to the motherboard. Glad to see you could get a discount :).
[Off-topic] Chad_Petree:
Good to know the memory is not welded but remember, macbooks now have unibody cases so yeah I'd have to send it to apple :(

Subpar performance on a mac? :/ they perform better using "worse hardware" than the majority of the windows machines

But the new macbooks pro with retina, there you caught me off guard, im afraid the enormous resolution it's gonna make the gpu go down to its knees and have crappy performance :( the reviews say the performance is great but you know how fan biased this websites can be

If you can access the Recovery Options you can try System Restore to roll back to an earlier system state.

Restoring Factory Settings will return your Primary drive to the condition you bought it in, so you will lose your personal files on that drive.

System Restore is automatic unless you have disabled it. There's also Startup repair from the recovery menu that you can try.
[Off-topic] PulseDroid:
Some Programs you installed might have made a backup. So just restore it.

Also, grab yourself a copy of the Windows XP recovery console iso, burn it to a disk and insert it to your PC. Then with DOS commands (Google the comands) copy your Data to a portable Hard-drive/ DVD/ USB .

Alternatively you could use DSL (Damn Small Linux)(50MB iso) ( Google it) and copy it to a USB/ Pen Drive/ CD and boot the OS (Doesn't install, like a Linux Live Disk) And then copy your data. So that it's safe, Then you could just Wipe your hard-drive, with either XP recovery console or DSL and install a new OS.

Only the drive on which os is installed gets formatted...in your case C drive....install new copy of windows...data on the D drive will be safe....but data in my documents will be lost

[Off-topic] shimp208:
Also if your really concerned about loosing the data on your D drive open up the laptop and manually remove the drive. This way there is absolutely no chance of it getting whipped. Then once you restore the laptop plug the drive back into the laptop and your good to go and all your data should still be there.

If you want true gaming power in portable package check out the iBuyPower Battalion 101 W110ER, it has an 11.6" screen, can be upgraded to a Core i7-3630QM, 16 GB of memory, SSD, etc. Starting configuration is around $880 for a Core i5-3210M, 8 GB of memory, and 500 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive. Another good choice that will be able to run internet games maxed just fine is the HP Pavilion dm1z 4300 it has an 11.6", AMD Dual-Core Processor E1-1200 + AMD Radeon HD 7300 Graphics (Upgradable to a AMD Dual-Core Processor E2-1800 + AMD Radeon HD 7300 Series Discrete-Class Graphics), 4 GB memory (Can be upgraded to 8 GB), and 320 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive (Can be upgraded to 750 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive).

Iv a Clevo W110er. I'll post more info on it later as Iv an issue with the Nvidia driver that I'd like to know how to correct. This laptop has bothe intell400 and Nvidia GeForce gt 650m dedicated graphics. When the Nvidia graphics is running there are two icons that appear on my taskbar. One is the Nvidia gpu monitor and the other is Nvidia nview. Sometimes the gpu monitor will disappear but the nview icon will stay. While selecting the nview app icon a message pops up stating that nview cannot start because theirs no Nvidia graphics hardware. The 650m doesn't even show up in device manager. Intell does. I ended up completely uninstalling all Nvidia items, ran cleaners, rebooted machine and tried reinstalling Nvidia package installer that shipped with my device. Once setup started to run I was greeted with device drivers cannot be installed because theirs no Nvidia graphics hardware. Iv tried everything from OEM drivers, latest drivers and everything in between and get the same message. Except for once. I think it was the 306.22 driver. It finally installed! I ran battlefield 3 for about 30min, shut down machine n took it to a buddy's place to show off my laptop. Once rebooted the Nvidia graphics disappeared again and since then I haven't been able to get it back. Anyone else have this same issue or know how I may correct this on my own? Sorry for the long azz story and thanks:)

You don't need to be a computer whiz (or really anything other than literate) to install Windows.

Now im not sure what are my current specs are, i just saw its logo, a dell.

I'm lil confused about your situation. You had i7 950 with 5850 which you sold and getting or got AMD Phenom II X4 965 with 6950. Am I right?

If so, that doesn't feels a good move because i7 950 is somewhat 50% faster then AMD Phenom II X4 965.

6970 isn't too much powerful then 5850. 6950 takes 25% more power to be powerful then 5850. Checkout here Otherwise you could sell 5850 and got 6950 placed into i7 pc.

[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
A pre-built system won't compare to a system you build yourself simply because the goal of a pre-built system is to drive the production cost down by ordering components at wholesale price while a self-built system is usually built with your needs in mind. It is completely possible to build a system comparable to a pre-built one for much cheaper but usually the goal is to build one much more specialized (like for gaming).
