    Sorry to bug you again. Upgrading HDD to SSD means also re-installing Windows. Would you guys recommend me to go for Win7 64bit? Do you have any experience with that? (especially in relation to gt725, drivers, etc.) Is there any cookbook for that? Thanks!

    I have W7 64-bit on mine and have no issues. Get all the W7 drivers from the MSI site except for VGA. Use ATI's latest desktop drivers with Mobility Modder and you're good to go.

    When getting drivers off of the MSI site, there are two choices for modem and Wireless, so make sure and get the ones that match your hardware.

    It's more than recommended , it's a must ! :p and get the right chipset driver .. msi seems to mix the 740 i7 with the 725 .

    Went to pull the battery from my lappy and notice a small support fin next to it was broken. I"m surprised they even bothered having one there, as the space is so narrow.

    m8...its ridiculous to buy laptop like these..... u cant overclock u must check temps all time...2000 times to built a super desktop with 32" lcd..
    maybe if u hook that lap on big lcd and and buy gaming keyboard will be good.but u will worry bout temps again:///
    cant wait to built crosfire with 3 ati cards..

    Still ticked MSI went and pulled that, i'd atleast of expected a gtx 260 minimum up to a 280 or 4850 for sure paired with i7.

    I really do want an xfire machine out from these guys though, thats what i wait for.

    I'd hate a tri-fire/quad fire machine, i couldnt bear like what, 60 db of fan noise :p

    Xbox nearly drives me to insanity.

    1) he means "are you actually going to play games 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?" because otherwise, you wouldn't have to monitor temps that much

    2) The noise of the xbox drives him crazy. It's loud.

    3) how in the world could we solve your internet issue?

    I'm guessing Virgin Media, which would in reality be around 25MB d/l and 2MB u/l on a good day ;)

    I tried using their PC Guard software the other day on Win7. Software sucks, drivers don't even install correctly, and it's still expensive compared to some DSL.

    It's actually with UPC as I'm in Prague :) Their customer service is bad but the speeds are supposed to be pretty reliable. They did do a 100Mb d/l , 10Mb u/l as well but i can't really justify that :)

    Dear customer,

    It might be possible but upgrading a graphic card on your notebook will void your warranty and MSI will not support the upgrade so it is not advisable seeing the laptop was made according to the specification and because MSI does not supply spare parts (graphic cards, etc..)

    Kind Regards, ............ well , i wasn't expecting much from them anyway but where the hell can i get myself a 4850 1gb !? :mad2: :radar:

    Well even if you could, the 1GB models in the alienware m17's had a slower clocked memory (800 instead of 850). While I wish I had the full gig for GTA4, pretty much every other game I've played has been perfectly happy with 512 MB.

    Same here , wish I had the extra mem for gta even though it looks good with only 512 .if I can get one even with lower clock like you said , I'll take it without hesitation .... The main issue is to find one ... Next best solution is sell my 725 and get the 729

    Turbo doesn't work on quads
    If you want to oc Q9000 you will have to use something like setFSB for example

    why use beta drivers?? I mean, don't get me wrong, I use beta software etc but beta drivers on your main install?? You're asking for trouble with probable minimum gain. Patience my friend :))

    which also requires flashing of the bios to unlock the multipliers.. and software overclockers tend to be slightly unstable. :nah:

    Lol lena, the xboxs bloody drive is so loud.

    Internet isnt magnificent in UK but its not tooo bad either.

    The q9000 full overclock potential is like 2.8, but we cant seem to breach that limit for some reason..

    Its probably the ram coming to think of it.

    keep one thing in mind when it comes to mobile broadband , you never get the speed advertised and it's not meant for gaming .. so it's not that recommended . i'm on vodafone , the only positive thing is the network coverage .....
    couldn't agree more ! good things comes for those who wait :p
    That's more like it ! 2.8 ain't that bad .... it is the ram as before i wasn't able to OC'd to 24% without it crashing on me , but since changing my rams , it's a different story , OC'd without crashing , feels faster ....
