    lol what kind of evil post is that, how about sharing it :p

    I just got done with the written review. I need to run a ton of game benchmarks to compliment it all and then probably do minor tweaks before I post it up.
    I imagine I can get all the game benchmarks done in a day but I am about out of time tonight, I have work to do.

    Well for me my t9600 already overclocks to 3284mhz through turbo gear, so for the moment im cool . I may have to uninstall turbo gear to gain stability and disable it in the bios but i probably wont bother to try all that till get a Quad.


    I emailed the Author of Setfsb to see if he will add it .

    Did somebody just hear a rich snob say something?

    Just kidding MR. Moo I respect that you worked hard for your stuff and I know what its like to have hard times. I make less than min wage cause of my X and her lawyer. So everything I get comes from very careful saving and prioritizing of funds.

    wow that was fast,

    quad, besides that x64 driver signing thing I told you about earlier, in your quest to change the drives you also want to unisntall the turbogear enhanced vga driver from asus if you did not already. its like a built in overclock on the graphics cards but it could have some effect on the drivers.

    So what's the best 3DMARK06 scores on this laptop?
    Not sure if the 20.000+ OCd scores that is shown on other sites are bogus but what #'s did actual owners of this laptop get?

    Thanks E, I'm not really into the whole "my laptop is better than yours" drama, just interested in good quality high performance laptops, consider me a laptop junky that loves to torture himself with all the latest laptop tech. :p
    Glad to see all the initial problems with this laptop have been straightened out :D

    Lol moo you have a nice machine and there will always be something better regardless, so dont let it bother you, otherwise your better off never buying anything at all .

    When the M98 hits i know its going to be alot faster then my machine but my feeling was for the price/performance of this machine along with warranty etc it just could not be beat . plus i hate shiny plastic :) . So its all good , i can still play anything i want on my machine and should for sometime to come .

    2x280gtx which are supposed to be 50% faster then the 9800gtxs, so ya its gonna be fast . Im sure its also going to be a pretty penny for something with decent specs.
