    At the root of the forum section, there should be a button at the top left that says New Thread.

    Later today I will do a battery drain on it using Orthos :) That should be interesting.

    Using CoreTemp the highest I have seen is 63c on both cores when playing Supreme Commander. So well within reasonable limits. The bottom of the laptop is not too hot either (hot, but not too hot).

    Goodness, thats quite impressive when compared to the Acer Aspire 5920, that was hitting 90C but probably that would depend on the game also.
    Could anyone else share there temperatures please? (When idle, and playing games)

    Thanks.

    They should be very similar +- 5c depending on ambient temperatures. Supreme Commander is about as intensive as it gets.

    You could try something that stresses the CPU to the max, such as Orthos.

    You'd be surprised how close Supreme Commander and Orthos get when you are 400 units with 3 computer players on a 64k size map! I did use Orthos as well and it was the same.

    It really is lol!
    i cant wait for My T7500, 2GB RAM
    should be hitting at least 4.9!

    BUT something on the experience index in the first post doesnt look rite, it says 4.7 for aero and 5.1 for gaming graphics, wat drivers av u got for it as i wud say it shud b the other way round as vista is NOT that much demanding for aero, i mean it can run on a 2.0 score.

    I just installed the 2GB of RAM today and my score didn't change. I guess its the frequency and timings that make it faster when greater than 1GB

    Not at all. Whisper quiet under load. Will bench PCMark2005 now :)

    EDIT: Ok its on the first page. I have never ran PCMark before...so I don't know if that scores good or not.

    Thanks for the bench ps2cho, but I'm not sure why it didn't give you the pc, ram and other scores?

    Can you please try select in PCmark where it says "Tests" click select and pick CPU suite only, untick all the others, and run it again, see it gives you the score.

    I noticed you have idle for 1 minute and idle for several hours - and there's a large difference in power draw. Is the idle for several hours with the screen turn e off, HD spun down and the CPU at some ridiculously low power state?

    Screen shut, HDD NOT powered off, CPU doing its default speedstep to 900MHz I guess, WLAN on, USB jumpdrive and mouse plugged in.

    Could be even lower if I made it turn the HDD off...but I still want my AIM and stuff to be signed on so I turned that feature off.
