    From what stated here ARK | Intel® Core , it can only handle 1333MHZ max, but i saw someone here their i7 740qm can handle up to 1600MHz. And if not, do i have to change anything like bios or sumethin to make it support 1600MHz?

    I had my Kingston rams @ 1600MHz with 720QM, but it was overclocked on FSB.
    I shoul also mention that i was using ASUS G73JH not M17x, don't know how well M17x cpu overclocks yet.

    I know that stock they will run at 1333MHz max.
    You have to OC to reach 1600.
