    I am having a hard time picking which cpu/apu to pick for the dv6.

    I still have not decided if i should go intel or amd for the cpu. Has the hybdrid crossfire started working better? Or does it still only give a small boost in directx11 games only? Is their a notable difference from going to the a8 to the i5 to the i7 or will it largely be unnoticed in games?

    Is the A8-3510MX worth buying over the A8-3500m? The differences seem to be the 3510MX being .1 ghz faster and it has a higher clock multiplier. .1 ghz does not seem like it will be a notable difference but I don't know if the higher clock multiplier will have a larger impact.


    Lastly, I want to change the HDD to the Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid drive. Will this be an easy thing to do on my own?
