    You'll only make 1600 run if you've go above the 2670 (2760 and beyond).
    Besides that, the P150HM only has 2 SO-DIMMS or whatever you call it that support 1600. I'll link to a source in a few minutes :)

    Here you go, as stated below.

    Nope, it works at full speed with all slots populated (even with 4 dimms).
    It does for me and the others.

    Check here:
    Anybody have HyperX x 4 modules?

    Just read it all.. but it still makes no sense in my head :(

    So Justin is wrong? Does the P150HM really support more than that..
    Oh well, if it works it works :D

    I've asked nexoc to exclude logo and 2x4GB 1333 RAM and they did it, but price went 25Eur up.
    What the heck!? =)
    Less job and spending resources for them and higher price... OMG!

    Ok, was able to lower the price to 1260Eur (with delivery).

    The only problem: they don't have Glare screens for P150 anymore.
    Are Matte good wit this one? Cos I live not in so bright place, and screen bright/contract would be more preferable for me.

    I love the matte screen i got in mine, the reviewers on notebookcheck.de which also reviewed it concluded its got an above average brightness and contrast levels...
    Its much better than the glossy one i had in the G73JH if that helps.

    The difference is not due to whether it can support it, but for what it's certified to do. The P150HM is only certified to be able to do two slots at 1600Mhz. The reason the other two slots fail certification is due to the length of the traces to the slots. Just because it's not certified though, doesn't mean it absolutely won't work. It just means that there is a chance of stability issues or failure. A lot of people have successfully run 4 sticks of 1600Mhz RAM or faster at 4GB per stick. Some have even confirmed that it works on the 2630/2670 processors despite Intel saying otherwise.

    I've read that several people have made the success of making 4 sticks of 1600 MHz running but, that's still a chance, I think I'll stick to the 1333 MHz, the hertz speed shouldn't effect me as much as the amount of memory I need, but thanks for clarifying it, made me understand it ;)

    So, Nexoc sent barebone ystday. I can see that it's in my country now.
    Probably will get to my city in today or tomorrow.

    So, it's P150, with 2760QM and ati6990m.
    I need to buy hdd for Optical bay (which is mean SATA II max) and RAM from local store.

    Plans are:
    RAM - Kingston 8GB (Kit 2x4GB) HyperX Plug n Play1600MHz DDR3 CL9 1.5V SODIMM

    HDD - WD SCORPIO BLACK 750GB.

    I think there is no alternative with RAM, but what about HDD: Scorpio BLACK 500 or 750. Who is faster? These extra 250Gb will not be something necessary for me this is for sure.
    Or should I consider Seagate? Hitachi is not available in my country.

    Ok, NB assembled.
    Installing/updating WIN7 right now.

    Config in the signature.
    In total:

    33484 - nexoc + vat + delivery
    4453 - hdd + ram
    785 - bank's fee
    25 - tram ticket =)
    ---
    1542Eur or 2038$
    ---

    Result: Nexoc is the cheapest solution for EU people which can't cheat VAT.

    Sure, friend.

    It can be more cheaper if you have EU currency in the bank, as result will not loose extra money on transaction from local currency to EU.

    Plus I've did a frag up. I've ordered ENG keybo. So they not exclude DE, but sent me two of them (DE installed and ENG as separate).
    So it would be 29+6=35Eur for it. Need to sale one of them now. No point in having both.

    How come you ordered a english keyboard, I would assume that a man like you wouldn't care about the keyboard layout.

    Well, they have only DE keyboards by default. So you waiting extra 3 days for ENG Keybo.

    I'm ok with Deutsche, but I never using DE language on PC.
    I don't need different key representation as in result.

    But, when I'm comparing DE and ENG keyboards the winner is DE of course, it's fancy and have more benefits, as in result I'm ready to use it half blind way.

    Ah okay, I wouldn't really care if it was up to me, never look down on the keyboard anyways, but indeed it actually looks prettier.
