    Hi everyone, i have a M17 and i recently bought alone in the dark the one 'bout central park, and i'm not able to run it maxed out at 1920x1200. It runs well maxed out at 1440x900, but is that ok? isn't a little too bad? for the moment I have the p8400, upgrading to an extreme processor, how much will I gain in performance talking about gaming in generally? thanks to everyone! :)

    First, I don't know which driver you are using (ati) ...
    Second, I don't know how demanding this game is for your cpu.

    I had problems running Crysis maxed out (1440x900) with the P8400 (even on lower resolutions), now with T9400, I have (normaly) no problems :)

    All in all, it depends on the game, wheather you will gain mutch or less from the "extreem" CPU.

    Greetings
