smile.gif  hehe.. i think that's just nowhere for me to carry it outside unless you wanna build up some muscles.. wink.gif

i think M15X will be nicer to show off in public..  rclxms.gif

but i think i still prefer G73JH atm.. But i never had aw before!
Have thoughts abt it but the price seems too over the top for me... especially during the customise.. My wife will curse me to the grave if i buy one...  sweat.gif

Hope I get the M15X this week then can do a small comparison. So far I quite like the G73JH just the size is a prob, but compare the spec, hdd, ram, nothing can come near it with the price point. Even M17X also don't have 4 ram slot, but can xfire or sli. Btw I turn off swap file, it seems turning off the respond is even better maybe due to so much ram, swapping to hdd makes the system slower. Btw the unit I got has 1333 ram instead of the 1066 some claim. tongue.gif

Oh btw at last I manage to transfer the pics cool2.gif

Mostly it will be waiting for u at the post office if using USPS. I even receive my letter from Pos Malaysia about the item in customs after 2 days. I got the item the same day I receive the call.

Actually I wanna add in, sometimes when I type my hands especially my palm will brush the touchpad, and usually make the cursor move to another spot making whateva I type go out of way. mad.gif The touchpad is too big. vmad.gif
I do remember there's a software to disable the touchpad. I am barely using it coz I am using a wireless mouse. cool2.gif

Just tried oc the gpu, got score for 3DMark : Core 775 Memory 1125 Processor Stock
3DMark06 @ 1280X1024 : 13051
Vantage @ Performance : P8905, GPU8419, CPU10771

Anyone who want to disable their touch pad can use the TouchFreeze software. It can disables your touch pad as soon as you start typing something.

Nice software. notworthy.gif Btw, i think this lappy got throttling when max overclock and enable turbo in bios. Performance didn't increase if I on the turbo in bios with the core 775 and mem 1125. If I off the turbo in bios straight 3dmark06 score hit 13k if enable turbo 3dmark06 drop to 12.5k. sweat.gif

Maybe the bios enable overclock in buggy ? hmm.gif

That has been mentioned time and time again. It would actually give you a lower score if you benchmark it lolz.

As for the touchpad, it is quite sensitive but I have no problems with its size smile.gif And I set the synaptics program to disable my touchpad if a usb mouse is connected. I remember reading somewhere, either NBR or XoticForum about a minor problem someone encountered while using touchfreeze but didnt note it down because I don't use it haha.

So only way to overclock is using setfsb ? blink.gif I just dun type so much to avoid the cursor flying around. For me I really would prefer a smaller touchpad. hmm.gif

So far tried Core 780 Memory 1120 get best score. I think my memory max is 1125 maybe needs some burning in to hit 1200.
3DMark06 13180.

I see so 10.4 is better ? I found the reason of GSOD already seem to plague desktop 5770 and 5870 as well. I only got 10.3 and 10.5. Skip 10.4. So I will try to find it then try out. sweat.gif

Actually it's like having a new sports car, we will try to tune it to the max, either for fuel consumption or max power. I even tried to flash the vbios but I found using amd gpu clock tool serve the same purpose so I used it instead. Clocking core 300 and memory 500 lowers the gpu temp to around 55 from 63. drool.gif

If I had PSOD . . you would see me crying here every other hour lol. PSOD would mean a RMA and that is a nightmare I do not want to face ever! biggrin.gif

Haven't gone hours on Dirt 2 or Grid . . has been having fun time with bro on LAN for borderlands taking down that damn Crawmerax smile.gif
