last time he change processor in his G51 like plug and unplug thumb drive only

seems easy but byebye warranty LoL

well, it just like how in desktop ^^

but sager wouldnt mind. (he using asus though)

Hahah, My Alienware M17x arrived, picking it up later, wanna change proccessor also to QX9300. Will post benchmark later. QX9300, 8GB 1333Mhz, GTX280M SLi

Added on December 22, 2009, 6:27 amyou are wrong brother, i think u r still in the old age, for Asus they dont mind u to take out the back over, but on the Porccessor heat sink there got a sticker, carefully dont tear it off then should be ok 1.
my warranty still valid.

Added on December 22, 2009, 6:36 amya planning to get a GTX260M Sli for my another M17x

u wanna buy? im thinking of buying 2 5870 for cross fire too, but what i know from Dell Engineer, they they might not do a bios revision for a new GC.
But somehow they are going to have a new model for M17x with Core i7. this doesnt sounds good. Even 5870 witht MXM3.0B is matched with Ccurrently M17x, but bios is not compactible to the GC. anyway, when it is available for M17x, i sure will grab for upgrade.

What not good? New Arrandale Core i7 only two cores with 4 Threads..(Which Intel says if app nid more than 2 cores, it will pretend to have 4 cores using the threads? ) at least it is clocked higher than the current 720-QM or 820QM(failures i think)..

the Core i7 720, 820 920 also having same ability that 4 core pretend to have 8 cores

but at least the arrandale are higher clocked. So it wont be bottlenecks to other parts

Unfortunately, you have a woefully misconstrued understanding of Intel's Hyper Threading technology. The only applications that will be able to make use of all logical cores, i.e. all the threads on each core, would be those that are specifically written to take advantage of Hyper Threading. If it isn't, then even if you run a game such as GTA IV, which is really happy with quad cores, Arrandale processors would still be running as duals.

please do inform us (or at least me!) about this info in the future.
i am looking forward to own 5870 in CF configuration too

no matter how high is the clock, if it related to the HT, no thank you.
personally, i already lose trust in all those logical or hyperthreading thingy.
at least in term of gaming.

huh~~
then after 2.3years i change my processor and GPU ??
plug in P9800 & nvidia GTX260M ^^

wit until no more warranty ^^

processor can lah,
gpu I doubt yours can

how to change processor and GPU??

Long time already can is it? Or someone just found out recently how to do it? hahah.. sorry noob here

If like that, then no point upgrade and buy new computer lo..Laptop becomes like desktop..

since long time can change already, except the one using SU, SP series, those are soldered to the mobo.
open the case, unlock the socket and exchange the processor, then lock it back~

as for gpu, 99% notebook in market can't change, except those using mxm slot then can change, even that need to check bios compatibility and etc...

well, the point is cpu and gpu part can be expensive and expecially here, hard to find it~

yup u r right.
but currently i have T9600,T9800, T9900 with me, who wan? hahaha
1 GTX260M also with me who wan?

1 more point, upgrade ur processor and gpu might void ur warranty ^^

another point - temperature emitted from new GPU / CPU might be higher than default due to architecture or incorrect step during upgrading, which will lead to burn of mobo.

just refer here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/863032

yup, both of u are right.
before u wanna upgrade laptop proc sure you will check betul betul 1st before upgrade de ma......
Void warranty not really, if u know how to prevent void warranty, thne should not be the problem. like me, i never void my warranty,.....

Now thats a pro lol.. but in service tag/warranty oredi stat our original specs.. how can they not say our warranty not void?..
Its only possible if we ask them to change it I think.
