Anyone tried to put this in a Dell XPS 13 or ASUS UX 31A yet? I cannot figure out if either bios is whitelisted?

I don't have either but a quick Google search found this: https://thomas-leister.de/open-source/linux/asus-zenbook-prime-ux31a-wlan-chipsatz-austauschen/ Its in German, but from the horribly mangled translation Google translate coughed up, it seems he was able to get the 7260 installed and working. Although he does mention that the antenna connectors didn't fit quite right, something about a size difference between the OEM installed card/antennas and the new card.

I installed this in my Dell 8200 and it was fine running Windows XP. It did not work properly though when I installed Windows 7.

when i installed it on my system (not a dell XPS 8300) i ran into a few issues because the driver from the cd-rom and from the ati website over clocked the video card without any notification, when i notice that (after a week trying in many systems) i have uncheck the overclock and after that it worked just fine. hope that help you.

Dell sells a version of the XPS 13 with Ubuntu pre-installed, so I would assume the support is pretty good. The best things to look at for linux support are: wireless card/vendor and graphics card/vendor. For wireless cards, Intel &gt; Realtek &gt; Broadcom. Broadcom is going to be a nightmare usually. I have a Realtek card, and it has been pretty good. For graphics, Intel &gt; AMD integrated GPU (on the CPU) &gt; nVIDIA = AMD discrete. If you are not gaming, integrated GPU is your best bet (no graphics card). It looks like this Ultrabook has an Intel graphics card, and integrated GPU, so it should be great. Please note that this is an older version of the XPS 13, and you may want to check out Dell's website to get the newest one.

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

yeah I decided to wait, was only getting a laptop to have an extra computer in the house and for the occasional vacation use so no rush, sounds like the new i5 ulv chips will run circles around the current ones, and remember even though they use 18W, that is with the gpu included so its really the same as the current ones. They overclock themselves (no need for Asus to do it), now lets just hope some manufactures combine a good switchable card and battery with them. think UL30VT with twice the performance on the gpu and cpu side with almost the same battery life for under $1K.

Microsoft is about to quit providing any kind of support for Windows XP, including updating drivers and virus protection. I'm not 100% sure of the exact date, but I think it's sometime in April, 2014. While your asus certainly SHOULD have the power to run XP, I am not at all familiar with that machine. If it is a tablet or a netbook of some kind, I would advise you not to mess with it - unless you are VERY savvy when it comes to PC hardware and software installations. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your current software installation which may end up making it useless and certainly would void any warrantees you have on your machine.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

I Dont have a Dell XPS 8300, but I did a little reseach, the only problem I see is the psu, it has only 460 W, and the recommended is 550W, besides for that, it should work with your pc, Did you do a clean installation of the drivers?, it also could be the problem (sorry for my bad english)

The best was is to download the newest BIOS from ASUS and put it on a USB drive. You can then use the BIOS update utility built into the BIOS to update it.

I used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 I didn't actually have much luck with this board (I'm assuming that's because it was open box though.) Are you manually clocking or RAM or just using the X.M.P.? My board was fine using the X.M.P. settings.

I am using it successfully wi the Dell E6430 ATG. But I use it only occasionally, for less tha a couple of hours each time.

What do they mean by updating BIOS. Is this the kind of setup you spend long frustrating hours on? Should I opt for a different brand/model (suggestions?)?

H Michael,I have a Dell XPS M1730 laptop. I had a NVIDIA 9800M GTX w/ 2 GB (2000 MB of Ram) installed by the guys at Staples. It boots up in 20+ seconds! A NVIDIA 8800M GTX w/ 1 GB (1000 MB of Ram) will fit the slot too - I was told. This is all I know. Hope this helps.Roxy

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.
