    Ive been trying to find if the 2630 and 2720 are besides the slight bump in clock speed all that different,Is it true the 2630 doesnt support 1600mhz ram natively? Sorry if this is covered I tried finding it on here.Thanks everyone.

    2720QM has VT-d and AES and the 2630QM doesn't. If you have to ask what they are, you don't need them. And the 2630QM doesn't support 1600Mhz RAM natively, but it's easy to set it to 1600 anyways.

    Thanks flip,I thought you could set it in bios,I have a 2720 so I didnt bother with changing auto timings and Ive only had mine a short time ( a week)My buddy wants an m14x and asked if it was true the 2630 didnt support 1600 natively,he also has a 2720 in another laptop he can swap if needed.
