    It is an exceptional laptop and I found myself loving mine. If I had known I would run into stutter on the M17x as well, I very well may have just kept my whitebook and pursued 4850s for it

    will the kingston hyperx xmp ready memory work with nvidia chipset skook? mandrake? the only reason i bought it was because it was cheaper than non-xmp ready.

    Regardless if the tech is way ahead I can't get back into desktops. Besides have usb 3 and sata 3 devices started popping up yet?

    i can. i have 7 computers & laptops now. but i can do way more on a desktop so i run with it.
    im pretty sure that your ssd drive running through a faster sata port will in fact produce faster results (speculation of course) :) considering if you use a sata 1 port your speed is greatly downgraded.

    I depleted my slush fund with the purchase of the M17 and a T9900. Need to build it back up. If I use other $$ the wife will kill me.

    really. i have a little desktop and trying t decide the best card to put in there. so far it's between the
    ati
    4830
    4850
    4870
    4890
    nvidia
    250
    260
    275
    so much choices. and price is a factor because of i get to crazy then i'll say

    i should get a better cpu(intel 775)
    i should change the mobo
    i should get a better psu
    i should get an i7
    i now need an i7 mobo
    i need ddr3 ram
    and now it's crazy

    i have been looking at the i5 though. i must say it looks good for the price and it's still a quad with ht so it's 8 cores.....

    the i5 is does NOT have HT actually Don, and if you do want to get one, let me know, I can get you a good deal via my local Micro Center :)

    as for the benching, new record (and maybe favorite driver?) for Vantage Stock: P10397

    not stock cpu but i got 10515 on the stock gpu with that.

    really????? it doesn't.... i'll check. if it doesn't then that's a big no no. that's like having a toyota supra without a turbo in it.
