Here is the text output of "Run all tests" in Sysbench 0.9 I have to go to work today, but will post my test data when I get home. :) I will post Sysbench results as soon as I can get a good sample. I have owned this laptop for almost four years and it is still using its original battery and AC adapter. I feel that my testing facility is not ideal. For windows 10, the battery would last about 5-6 hours during normal usage and about 4 hours when viewing movies or online streaming content (like Youtube). I wouldn't use battery as a selling point of this laptop. I suppose it has to do with the age of the machine and the battery itself.īattery life (with windows 7, 8.x and 10) varied a bit depending on whether I was using multimedia or other CPU-intensive stuff. It needs to use a static IP address (192.168.1.252) before being connected with an existing network. For wireless networking, I am using the "Iogear universal wireless-n adapter" (GWU627). I was able to increase the display resolutionĪnd set up the "eCS desktop" wallpaper. I skipped network configuration for the time being.Īfter the first reboot, the installer automatically suggested the Panorama video driver. Afterwards, I installed the Panorama driver. I chose Generic VGA for my monitor type rather than use the suggested Scitech driver. my IDT Integrated Audio Sound card was automatically detected and the UNIAUD driver was installed. After that, the installation was fairly straightforward and problem-free. After 1 hour and 16 minutes of disk checking, the installer began to format hard drive with JFS.

I recommend using advanced install method so that system files can be in one partition while user data is located on another partition.ĮCS automatically loaded ACPI support for the Intel core 2 Duo so multiprocessor support was not a problem.įor disk preparation, I chose to format the drive using JFS w. I used simple install to see where it would take me. After another reboot the installation started again and the LVM was able to work with my hard drive. This time, LVM had no problem identifying my disk and created a new MBR.
I exited Fdisk and rebooted the laptop with the eCS 2.2 DVD in the drive. I enabled FAT32 large disk support and created one huge 80 GB partition. I used the FreeDOS 1.1 FDISK utility to wipe the drive of the non-DOS partitions. eCS Installation volume manager did not recognize my NTFS main partition or my Windows journal partition. I adjusted the following security features to enable OS/2 to load its install sequence:ĭisabled fast boot and instead chose "thorough" under boot checkingĪt this point, I inserted the eCS 2.2 beta II DVD and booted from the DVD drive. These security options are spread across the security, boot sequence, performance and :system management sections of the setup screens Most of these need to be adjusted or disabled to enable a non-UEFI operating system like warp 4 to boot normally. I was not able to install OS/2 version 2.1.įor the A15 BIOS, Dell used a variety of security and boot-checking options that together are very similar to the functionality of our current UEFI computers. Since this laptop was built before the introduction of the newer/faster UEFI BIOS versions, it requires a little bit of thought and preparation before installing WARP 3, 4 or WARP Server for e-business.
Mine was $250 from a prominent re-seller. NOTE Dell no longer sells this laptop directly and they recommend the Dell Latitude (E6430) premier instead.These newer latitudes are about $1,000 each. It can be purchased for a low price from nearly any hardware vendor. This is a tough little laptop and is very common. Dell does not provide support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, but it works well and is very fast on Windows 10 and is also very good with Windows 8.1. Mine was shipped to me in 2009 with the 64-bit Windows Vista Business edition. This 14" Dell Latitude e6400 has an 80 GB hard drive, 2 GB RAM, an Intel core 2 Duo processor and 2.41 GHz processor speed.
