Anyone here updated K50AB/K40AB to BIOS Version 2.13 dated 11/9/2009 ? Suppose to fix blue screen issue during S4. Any problems after update?

Lol, ur right, rm700 isn't a small amount, i'm just saying if u wanna compare 2k laptop to a 3k with same specs and a c2d t9550 why not just get something in between? and about the comparisim i made earlier, the exact comparisim is between a rm-74 and a C2D SU9400 (two cores, sry about the mistake), you can follow the link here http://www.tomsguide.com/us/HP-Laptops-Not...iew-1392-2.html, to see for yourself.My apologies if what i said offended anyone here.

Basing performance on Windows Perfromance Index, its not even accurate. It even can be considered lame. My desktop can achieve 6.2 CPU score, does that mean my lappy with 4.7 feels a lot slower? Nope. There are no detail on what WEI tested for CPU test, and they might optimise it for Intel too

pc mark scores for a su9400 are around 1200-1300, a Ql-64 can do around 1300-1400, while a pentium dual core t4200 is able to run at 1700+ depending on the chipset as theres the one with intergrated graphics and also the pm45 chipset which is used on the dell 1555. see what i mean? u can check a few notebook reviews around the web to verify this if u still doubt my claims. And i did say before that although older games don't depend to much on the cpu, newer games are getting more cpu intensive, unless u want tell me u can get discrete solutions like audio cards to offload cpu load on a notebook. Plus user experience in windows is practically the same since windows 7 is optimized for all types of procs, not just for intel like u said.

PCMark also means nothing to me, that is why I don't bother testing it and put it on the first page. And please don't bother sayng 3DMark too as those are synthetic banchmarks. Like I said, all you said is theoretically, CPU dependant or not the graphics card on both this laptop is too slow to make any difference while gaming
