    Hi,
    the detail on the comp didn't show that it use a 2 gig quad core. "The W90 is the world’s first notebook equipped with a 3 x SO-DIMM mainboard design and a maximum RAM capacity of 6GB of DDR2-800 memory. With graphical performances attaining a 3DMark (2006) score of 15,000, powered by the latest graphics Crossire ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4870 (dual graphics) and coupled with an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, the W90 takes on intensive multimedia and multitasking with ease. Up to 640GB of storage capacity from dual hard disk drives means you can store more documents or multimedia for the road. The ASUS W90 also comes equipped with the Turbo Gear function, which allows you to overclock your system to significantly increase its performance by up to 25%*, so that you can enjoy audio and video playback while gaming and web-browsing simultaneously. *Results many not apply to all configurations."
    it say Results may not apply to all configurations. Which configuration will get 15000 score?? will the 2 gig quad core is enough ?? thanks

    Sounds like you (or your source) is getting the X1 mixed up with the A1. The A1 comes with a 2ghz quad default and the X1 had (it appears to be discontinued) a higher clocked duo. The latter would hit 15k as overclocked with the supplied utility on 06. The A1 on the other hand with the default 2ghz cpu scored just a hair shy of 13k as overclocked with the asus utility on my unit. I have had it running continously at 2.5 some odd completely stable over long time periods. There is (I think) more to be had but I havent had time to do more testing as of yet. Part of this is that I have had little inclination to seek more since everything I have runs at or near maxed settiings at 2 ghz with the exception of crysis.
