    Do your games run ok?

    Benchmark numbers are nice, but not always accurate of the machines computing/graphics abilities.

    I tried running 3dmark11 a couple days ago and it crashed right before it was done loading. I uninstalled it and didn't think twice about it. My games still scream at MAX settings.

    I found a review for the i7-chipset. Remember your 893 is a i5-chipset.
    I can't find any 893 qosmios [i5-chipset] with any bench's for 3dmark06

    EDIT --
    Another thing, the i5 chipset runs at a crippled capacity when it is on battery mode, as compared to being plugged in.
