New P-7801u

Hello everyone, Last week my fx6860 was destroyed by a water spill...I was devastated.. but its all fine now.. I have purchased the P-7801u



I am going to upgrade the processor eventually to a T9400 if its possible?

and would anyone know if its possible to upgrade to a BlueRay Player drive that also burns DL Dvds?

thankyou everyone

 

t9400 t9600 t9800 are all good for your notebook,
so is the p9500 and the x9100.

the BR upgrade is viable, been done before (search blue ray and 7811)
actually the Japanese 7812j was shipped with BR support.

on a different note,
can you run a 3dmark06 and post it here ?

edit corrected. was too late

 

There is no P8500. I'm assuming you're referring to the P9500.

Anyways, all Montevina processors will work.

 

uh uhmm how does it run games lol. Tell us this please.
Try installing Crysis CCC lvl 4 and play at native res.
Or UT3 and tell us how you do.

 

Does the 7801 support Quad Cores? For the matter, does the 7811 with the newest bios?

 

The 7801 and 7811 both support quad core CPUs.

so what happened to your old 6860? just threw it away?

 

If you don't want your old system anymore, I'll take it off your hands for the cost of shipping plus a little xtra. PM me if interested.

 

Just received mine in the mail... 8673 3dMark06 out of the box

 

congrats.
nice score, how about a 1920x1200 run ?
i am wondering if the 1gb vram will be of help there...

can anyone with a 7811 post a WUXGA score as well ?

if both can use hwmonitor in the background all the better.

 

Out of the Box score looks pretty much identical to a stock 7811 or a 68xx with a t8300

I still say it isnt able to use the 1gb of vram, though maybe it shows its strengths at very high resolutions like SLI

 

I don't think anyone is sure .12 BIOS supports quad or not yet... If you read the * at the end of the OP's first post he has a disclaimer and i don't think anyone's found any documentation saying that quads are supported. I don't think we'll know till some one tries it....

Another thing about the title of that thread is the xtreme CPU sliders... they still won't let you take it past 3.0ghz. so the X9100 is essentially not "X"... (for the 7811)

 

not quad tested, thats for sure.

 

I should receive this monster Wed and give me about a week and i'll post up benchmarks and let everyone know how this baby runs games at Native Resolution..

My old laptop was destroyed by a river.. fell off a boat.. yeah I couldnt believe it.. its in peices dryed out but its not fixable.. you wouldhave to replace the entire guts.

 

i think ppl just wanted the salvage anything if possible... HDD/RAM/LCD/CPU

You actually may want to hold on to that stuff and test it in your new "monster" see if any of it works if so, you could use/sell it... or give it to me

 

so true haha.. but I doubt it.. the computer was turned on and when I got pumped it slide off my lap and smacked the edge of the boat and into the water it went..yeah I shouldnt have even had it out on the lake.. but we all make mistakes lol

 

I'll post this here b/c there is some CPU talk giong on and don't want to start a new thread:

Would undervolting a T9600 essentially make it a "P9600"?

 

t9600 specs
using rmclock will allow you to use the 10x multiplier only resulting in max 2.66ghz (same as p9600) however it will not give you the lower tdp of 25w of the p9600.

as to the p9600s, all the ebays items seems to to be ES B1 stepping, which seems a bit early (overly cautious?) not that I've read about a single C2D ES chip that has failed.

 

You can strip the memory, hard drives, etc. out of it. I'd still be interested in it. I want to take it completely apart and put it back together, maybe make a tutorial. I'd prefer to do it on something that's already dead before I do it on my 7811. I understand the internals are fairly similar.

 

Does the BIOS look any different? Also, I forget - does the BIOS main screen list the version used?

 

it uses .08 i think it's in the other thread...
