    Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for you to post some nice little tips and tricks you have learned since having your M11 im just refering to just OC but just general stuff like shortcuts etc. I have not got my M11 well not till the 28th so think it would be great to help newbies like myself. Forgive me if there is already a thread like this also

    Just some things I did on my i7 m11x:

    - Bought it with 2 gb - immediately upgraded to 4gb - A must have upgrade
    - Disabled face recognition to save on boot up time
    - Installed temperature monitoring software (I have it on all my systems)
    - Installed scrybe - mainly for the 2 finger scroll, don't actually use scrybe

    Haven't changed anything else, other than considering dropping in one of those hybrid drives, or just saving up for a nice SSD. the 7200 is working fine for now.
