    i like this laptop and seriously thinking about buying it but i just don't like cpu. Q9000 is really slow.. i mean 2.0ghz? come on.. considering most games or program don't even take full advantage of quad-core it's like having 2.0ghz dual-core cpu. i have x9100 on my current laptop. will this work on this W90Vp-X2? i really don't see much point spending $800 for qx9300 for time being if it supports x9100.

    A list we compiled in the Clevo forum, games that support four cores:

    GTA4
    Lost Planet
    Devil May Cry 4
    MS Flight Sim X
    Supreme Commander
    Company of Heroes
    BloodRayne2
    World in Conflict
    Call of Duty 4
    Half Life 2
    Oblivion
    Medal of Honor
    Dirt
    Civilization: Beyond the Sword
    Bioshock
    Crysis
    Far Cry 2
    Half-life 2 + Episodes
    TF2
    Hellgate: London
    Portal
    Rainbow Six Vegas
    Source Engine
    Splinter Cell Double Agent
    STALKER
    Stranglehold
    Unreal Engine 3
    Unreal Tournament 3
    Dawn Of War II
    Empire Total War

    That's a lot of games where the Q9000 will outdo the X9100, and the list will only grow. Plus your GPUs carry the load at 1080p.

    I have a Q9000 and with overclocking, I blow some dual cores away..
    I'll say stick with Q9000 and get a new CPU later on like QX9400 or 9500 with 3.0ghz quad..someday..

    Nice list but.......every post I've seen states that Crysis does not support four cores. Would be great if you could post something official about this. Thanks.

    Crysis is multicore enhanced, so yes 4 cores.
