QUOTE(gzavincent @ Oct 21 2009, 10:47 PM) Hey guys, is 64bit OS will use up more cpu??? for me seems to use less... but Vista x64 and Win7 x64 use more RAM than the x86 flavour, mainly cuz they need to support 32-bit stuff as well... |

P8700 is gud enuf...
the extra 0.13GHz is not going to make a lot of difference... plus, P8700 consumes 10W less power than T9550 during load... i ve a sticky i7 thread in the Mobile Computing forum...

QUOTE(LokiD.d.G @ Nov 6 2009, 07:05 AM) Please ditch McAfee while you have the opportunity to do so. It is the most intrusive, sluggish and overall irritating AV solution I've had the displeasure of using. +2...So my suggestion would be to uninstall it completely and get something better such as Microsoft Security Essentials which is totally free and takes up minimal system resources. It's a damn highly rated AV to boot. it integrates well with Windows, and combines together with Windows Defender... it takes abt 4MB of RAM only... |

QUOTE(weingseen @ Nov 20 2009, 02:47 AM) Sorry if I have to come out with this question, but nevertheless I still don't get it. desktop HD4670 runs at a faster clock than the laptop counterpart...A laptop versus a desktop. Laptop specification with processor 2.8GHz with Mobility Radeon 4670 and 4GB of RAM, while desktop specification with processor of 2.0Ghz with same graphic card and 3GB of RAM. But playing game wise, the laptop endured less FPS than the one at desktop. What could be the problem? |

I see dell Msia still selling their SXPS1645(Corei7) with 90W.. Just a warning for future potential buyers. |
