yeap. there is no problem at all to use ATi HD4870 CF for R1.

damn, Putochip123 wanna go crazy again!

tonight gonna try d... see how it looks....

im also wondering M15x with GTX280M

where you want to find 4870?

yea. crashing might have something to do with heat too, and usually it will affect your FPS.

and anyway, your game is original or opposite?

hahaha, go find victim
Tonight wanna operate my M15x and M17x to insert GTX280M inside m15x, wondering the heat sink fit or not

i guess you mission to put GTX280M in M15x will not be possible.

but try to prove me wrong.

It's ahem, but I used my Lost Planet CD-Key and updated fully(one complaint is that it takes freaking forever to find a game. Then it's overly laggy.)
Works on Xbox Live well, got all my achievements etc.
In my gamercard in my sig.

Edit:Since I started playing in the daytime, my FPS has been taking a hit as well. I also don't think it helps that I leave this machine on 24/7, but my life goes broken as soon as my computer is off D:

Guys, I need a copy of All Powerful M15x cds and dvds. Any kind soul willing to help me?

You mean the resource disc?
I can make an iso of it and send it to you, I'm more than sure THAT'S not illegal since that's just drivers that's supposed to come with the computer ANYWAY =\

installing using ehem DVD and activating it legally is not same with installing with original DVD.

those ehem DVD already been compressed and tweaked - which one of your main cause of crash.

Um, this was cloned straight from the original DVD, no cracks tweaks or anything else.
Most BS2 rips today don't even have the Multiplayer part anyway...

hmm Im considering m11x or a macbook. set aside macbook, want to ask to m11x users, is the proc so-so only? comparing to my current laptop with T5550 c2d 2.0ghz.

will be running mainly photoshop,autocad,sketchup,and of course steam games.

Photoshop i been using for around 2 week, don't feel any different compare to non ULV notebook processor like macbook.

u r wrong bro, with Core i7 big big different, or any core 2 duo with higher frequency

Ya, that will surely be a really huge different but compare photoshop performance between the macbook C2D and m11x ULV C2D.

For me really not much different, but i do overclock.

I Was planning to get the BIOSHOCK 2 Game for my M15x. Games don't crash on me anymore since I got my GPU Changed way back in January. Temps go as high as 84celcius and it still runs fine..... Am wondering if its due to it being an 'cough' version? I would love to play part 2 of this game after trying out part 1 of it.....

I personally suggest you go original for Bioshock 2. For the ahem version there are the rips that have horrible performance(look back on some of the previous posts), or you find the ones that require a legit key and a fixed image, even still it's really troublesome.
Save yourself the trouble and play it the way it's meant to be played. This is coming from the guy who pirated ALL his games on his Alienware
