    Wow so far so good, it's extremely fast and everything I had hoped for!

    If you have any questions feel free to ask...

    So far i have no issues with backlight bleeding, buzzing, or grey lines on my LCD...

    I get 7000 with a highly OCed X850XTPE running on a 2.8 GHz Athlon 64 (also OCed) desktop.

    The fact that a 7 lb notebook with a cool running video chip runs better than half as fast is simply amazing. SWEET!
