Just got my new M17 :D

It's brilliant.

It's actually not as heavy or as thick as I thought it would be, which is brilliant.

Luckily, I don't seem to have the stuttering issue that other quad core owners seem to have. I haven't got a chance to properly test that yet though, I'm currently in the process of installing Crysis Warhead.

I like the fact that it's currently almost silent, although that's bound to change once I start gaming.

My only problem right now is getting used to this keyboard xD (Not to say that it's a bad keyboard, I'm just used to my G15)

 

Congrats. I hope you enjoy. I have had mine for a while and it is great.

 

congratulations, i remember the feeling when i got my m15x hope it serves you well.

 

Congrats, enjoy the M17 I've gotta question why everyone's selling theirs when you can upgrade to 4850's later. Your gain, their loss lol

 

It's currently doing a massive vista update. But I think I may have caused a glimpse of that stuttering problem just before it turned off.

Just in case I do have the problem, I need to know a way to fix it without opening it up (no copper mod). If I remember rightly from reading the forums, there's a new BIOS update that fixes this. I'd just need to know where to download the BIOS and how to update it. If there's an even easier fix (I think I heard something about undervolting the CPU) then I'd prefer that.

I just still hope I don't have the problem.

 

Look in the M17 sticky

 

Congrats EviLCorsaiR,

Enjoy your new rig!

 

Ugh, I'm currently partitioning the hard drive. Who thought it'd take so bloody long to split it into 3 partitions...

 

Yes congrats! I would HIGHLY recommend doing a ram upgrade, and in fact newegg is doing a memory sale, 15% off all memory it says. I bought 4gb of Crucial 1066mz ram, and I noticed a performance boost across the board from mundane tasks to gaming.

Enjoy the new rig, I am sure you will.

 

The new B13 bios does not fix the stuttering (the voltages in it are lower than ocz). The OCZ .028 is way better but still doesnt fix it..

 

Glad to hear you are not experiencing any stuttering issues.

Keep us updated on it's performance.

 

Nice to have all these people here with plenty of experience with your system.

Congrats on your purchase!

 

Doesn't under volting fix the stuttering problem of the qx9300??

 

Didn't mention it earlier but, I have read that less voltage has fixed the stuttering for at least a few people.

Some people have had success with the B13 bios. Others have not.

 

I'm hoping to upgrade to 4GB this summer, my home town in England (where I go every summer, as I moved to the middle east) luckily has a pro computer shop in town.

I will. I just need to get a chance to install and play games on it first >.>
