    Hey just a real quick questions to those who have a msi gx630. Is the battery life on the laptop on 6 cell around 2hr 20min or so just surfing the web and taking notes with power saving mode? and whats the list of cpus i can put in this laptop? would the amd turion ii ultra 620 work? and im guessing i can undervolt that as well.

    thanks instead of adding a new thread i gotta ask a question.
    If the msi gx630 has the zm-86 and the 9600m gt oc to the 9700m gt would i be able to play bfbc2 on the settings i have on my current laptop.
    Graphics
    effects=low
    soldiers=medium
    vehicles=medium
    overgrowth-medium
    undergrowth=low
    staticobjects=low
    terrain=medium
    shadows=medium
    bloom=false
    hsaa=false
    msaa=0
    water=low
    mainquality-custom (medium)
    texture=medium
    dx=9
    detail=medium
    I run those currently at 1280x800 on my msi gx720 with a t9600 and 9600m gt oc to 9700m with no lag. Now would i see similar performance with the zm-86? or would ocing the zm-86 to maybe 2.8ghz and oc 9600m gt oc 9700 be the same?

    I'm not sure how cpu intense that game is but the t9600 is definitely a more powerful cpu than the zm86. Besides that, if you're gonna buy a zm-86, you'll spend a fortune on a CPU (they go for over $100 on e-bay) that's not even that powerful. Waste of money imo.
