    At 2.64GHz, my CPU is typically worth between 2,350 and 2,400. It's almost a 1 MHZ: 1 Point ratio.

    It handles extra voltage well, and the G50VT has a decent single-card cooling system, or I don't think the overclocks people are getting with the GS would be feasible.

    I'd have a dual-card set-up over it any day though, but I couldn't afford it.

    I've taken quite nicely to this slot cooling system on our Asus G50s. Works very well.

    My GPU top's at 84C in Crysis. In 3dmark at 82C, so I'm think my temp's are good
