    Understand, however, that your Asus warranty coverage is *null and void* should you do so :).

    QGNG is the final ES revision of the QX9300. It is identical to the OEM and retail QX9300.
    QGMU is the final ES revision of the Q9100. It is identical to the OEM and retail Q9100.

    Yes, both are the final ES revisions for those CPU's. Essentially, those are the OEM version, but with a different spec label.

    I don't know why the picture in the eBay seller's page shows the QX9300 @ 2.4GHz, nor do I care or want to think about why it is so. All that matters is that those two ES CPU's are identical to their OEM counterparts. The QAVR and QAVS in the thread I linked you to are also the final ES revisions for the Q9200.

    If your G71GX can accept a Q9000, then it can accept the QX9300.

    First you need to ask yourself why do you need to upgrade from the Q9000. If I'm not mistaken, Asus allows a 15% FSB overclock, meaning that your Q9000 has a peak speed of 2.3GHz. If you buy the QX9300, you would have up to 2.9GHz, which is ~26% faster from 2.3GHz.

    All three CPU's that you are looking at will run stable in the notebook. However, the question is whether it will run cool or not.

    The 15% FSB overclock doesn't work on quads, sir Soviet. He will have to resort to SetFSB.

    That's why you stress test it. In my book, if it's good for two hours, it's stable. But most people like to put a full 12 hour stress test on it.

    Have a certified reseller install the CPU for you.
