    :confused: I have been using myi9300 for 2 days now..
    Everything seems ok and smooth..
    But ther problem is that the quickset is kind of bothering me.
    I mean i really would like my cpu to run @2ghz which it is designed for. but now as everybody had it is @800mhz.
    and i dont think it is boosting up when i need it..
    Is it ok to just get rid of the quick set and live without it?
    or these M processors are not designed to run at full speed all the time?

    what is the deal?
    those who had the quick set, are they still using it or they are not?

    Probably if it is running at lower CPU speed, then you need to choose Maximize performance.

    I still have it, but just because it is easier for me to switch between profiles. Plus it controls some of the FN functions, and has the little pop ups when you change the volume/brightness control.

    It is really a user preference. If you don't like it, then get rid of it. It won't hurt your system at all except for some minor FN keys not working, but you probably wouldn't use them anyways.
