    I've been reading the forum for a while now trying to decide on a notebook, i was sold on the z71v for a while, until the macbook pro was announced, i immideately ordered one but then after thinking about it for a while i couldn't spend almost 1000 more and only get a better processor (for the most part). anyway i ordered my z71v with a 1.86 pentium m 750, 1 gig ddr2, 80gb 7200rpm, second battery kit yadda yadda yadda, but anyway my question is this - to everyone who has a z71v and overclocked it using a 400mhz fsb processor, any abnormalities, problems, anything worth mentioning? by the way i orderedthe pentium m 745 in hopes of overclocking it to 2.3ghz i believe. thanks any help would be appreciated. ah yes one more thing - what are some of the essential progs i might want to get for this thing - outside of daemon alcohol nero and that stuff?:asus:

    I'd check the threads over at the Z71v forums, I don't recall the exact domain name though...

    Do a google search on it, should find it then
