    Ok I'm trying to find out what the clock rates are in the new version of Z81K GPU. (new version has MR9700 w/128MB and built in b/g wireless) I do know that the Z80K has a severely under clocked MR9700 (core 390, mem 350) due to poor, almost non existent cooling of the GPU. So my question is two fold. Does version 2 Z81K suffer from this design flaw aswell? How do I find out the Core and Memclock of the GPU in the new version of Z81K? I don't know any ASUS support to contact or how to get any contact w/ ASUS at all!

    Before I can buy this notebook, I need the answer!

    Hope I can get someone help here. ProPortable, Y2K, anyone!?

    I don't know the speeds off hand, but that upgraded model has been out for a couple months now..... not something we'd really like to start selling since it's not a turion system...... but Asus did mention to me the other day that this model isn't going anywhere for a long time, so we might have to bring it in. It's my understanding that it's the SAME card from the Z80k..... same exactly card, period... so I would expect the speeds to be unchanged. Like you said the Z80k was seriously underclocked..... All that means is when you overclock it, you're just bringing out it's full potential without truely overclocking it.
