    having fraps isn't the issue. it's spending the money.

    ok you guys are being () to me, first i get no support... but thats ok because i never said you "had" to help me. All i know, is that i heard someone else got help here with money problems, so that's why i was asking. Its not that fraps is a bad thing, its the idea of spending money, my family is umm idk the word, frugal? so yeah i really did think someone could help me out here, but you guys dont understand, i can't send you people real money to then paypal me it, my parents would freak out even more that way. and i can't believe you would first insult me... confuzshuz... i didn't know it was 37, thought it was 40 so sthu. and guys, its not like i said anything at all, i didn't even make a post about it, i put it in my small sig, so anyone who noticed it would give it some thought, god is it really that hard to ask for help? now that i'm thinking about it, it was a stupid idea, because i would have all of these videos, but i dont have any way to edit or do anything with them, so they would be useless except for throwing on Youtube. bascially people shut the fk up, if u have nothing nice to say, theres no reason to attack me, then try to get me to send you money in the mail, i was asking for help, not asking if you guys wanted me to send you money. geez, calm down for one fkin second, you guys are nuts. what was so bad that i said?????? (disregarding this post..)

    Edit: Hustheman, i did but it just doesn't seem like the real thing, fraps just seems more professional for some reason. but thanks for your input, anyway i dont think i have a chance of getting this thing to work. this whole ordeal...

    2xEdit: Duh... this was sorta my way of asking an e-buddy...

    3xEdit: You guys know, i could have easily gotten it on a pirate site, but i didn't. so of course i get BS for trying to do it the legal way?

    EDIT:

    ok, basically i was gonna make some videos of me gaming, for benchmarking purposes, and the fraps would work really well, with its fps counter and all of its counterparts working together. basically i like by the rule, why would someone ever buy something when they could get it for free, and the truth is, a few people would, just to be able to say they bought it, but most people wouldn't, and in this case, a ton of people bought fraps. so there has to be some reason that they paid 37$ for it rather than get it for free with gamecam... so there is something different between the two. and i have heard a lot of good stories and reviews about fraps...

    So I heard on the xoxtic forums that this will be 1400? That makes no sense though. Also its almost Nov 1, are new GPU'S on the horizon. This laptop is coming out pretty close to the next cycle of graphics cards. Also gaming performance difference what are we talking (I7 G51J vs G51 X1A)

    Rumor is mid $1400. let's say under $1500 to be safe.

    Wow, then Im totally buying this. To think my friend payed the same price less than a year ago for the Gateway P7811. I guess there is no chance of an ATI card in the G series?

    About the price, there's actually someone that did preorder it via xoticpc..

    So could you give us your specs and the price it cost you confuzshuz? (if you don't mind)

    Everything is literally the same as the G51vx-A1 with the exception of the i7 and ddr3. I chose to upgrade the processor to the i7 820 1.73ghz. I was going to post my specs and price, but since xotic took it down from their website, I decided against it. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal,but they must have taken it down for a reason.

    Asus has the specs available. The following is taken from their global site:
    ASUS G60J / G51J
    Processors Intel® Core™ i7-820QM Processor, 1.73GHz with turbo up to 3.06GHz
    Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Processor, 1.6GHz with turbo up to 2.8GHz
    Chipset Mobile Intel® PM55 Chipset
    Operating System Windows® 7 Ultimate
    Windows® 7 Home Premium
    Memory 2 x DDR3 SODIMM 1066MHz, expansion up to 4GB SDRAM
    Display 16-inch HD (1366x768) LED-backlit display (G60J)
    15.6-inch FHD (1920x1200) LED-backlit display (G51J)
    Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM
    Hard Drive 2.5" SATA 250/320/500 GB (5400 rpm)
    2.5" SATA 320/500GB (7200 rpm)
    Dual HDD Support
    Optical Drive DVD Super-Multi / Blu-ray Combo
    Video Camera Built-in 2M pixel camera
    Dimensions and Weight 375mm x 265mm x 34.3~40.6mm, 3.3kg with 6-cell battery and single HDD)

    If price is correct as it is "rumored" to be, then it will be very promising. However, the cost of silicon chips may change tomorrow. Therefore, the official price could go either way.

    looks liek this 15yr old just had his/her period...a lil upset you aint getting *** for free?

    now....lets see. vegas costs liek what...600usd? you wanna explain how you got that or are you purposely trying to look like a dumb*** on this forum by asking for money?

    im 16, when i was about 6 yrs younger i could understand all this parenting BULL but that part of life. your parents do stuff to protect you, i know you may think "omg they wont let me buy it", but try to reason with them. if all else fails, go to walmart by yourself, buy a prepaid Credit card of like 50-100usd. and dont tell me, "how im i supposed to hide a CC from my parents." if you dont know, then im pretty sure you are <5yrs old and shouldnt be allowed on this forum unless your parents "let you"...

    now to point....DAMMIT its 1400usd for that laptop? i got mine for 1252USD, which is liek the only reason im still happy with my purchase. if ppl can get teh J for as much as i did, ima feel really ***** then. dam technology, i shouldve just bought a desktop, i havent even put my battery in my laptop since i bought it 2 months ago...lame. its sitting there in its bubble wrap.

    for some reason i'm thinking it's a gal
    Still a pretty good price in my opinion considering it's got the the i7 and ddr3, and it's a touch more than 1400. You probably got yours using the Bing offer. Consider yourself lucky for the price you got it.

    Anyway, what is clubbing? If its something like making money online READ MY BLOG! That sounds cool though








    Any word on the cost of the G60J?

    I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet. Asking for money from other NBR members shouldn't be allowed IMO. Even if it's silly, someone might actually fall for it.

    yea, but by my special physic powers, i predict someday there will be a netbook on there...cuz they have up to 50000 ticket items (office ultimate which retails for 670USD) so my guess is anything that cost 600USD or below can pop up on there. hopefully something good, i got a 18K/14K/7K/2K/4K/5K account...and THEY growing as we speak...hehehe

    YES IT IS AWESOME!! recieving items with absolutely no work is the best thing ever. i actually use the items so i dont really sell em. but if im ever in dire need of money for my college years when my parents cut me off, lol, then order a couple of OSes, and sell em for 150bucks a pop. good stuff rite there. just ordered a Guess Watch with Swarovski crytals for my mom. and soon to order a zune 30gb for my brother for his upcoming bday.

    i love bing...free items + 336USD cashback coming on october 12th = MAJOR OWNAGE!!

    if you read it you would know that it takes around about 1 month +/- 1-3 days for the item to ship so and depending on area it takes 2-5days shipping. mine takes 3 days to ship from the time the confirmation email is sent. so wait a month a an email should pop up in ur inbox saying ur item has been shipped. ships by UPS btw.
