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.

Oh btw at last I manage to transfer the pics

Yours come with 1333 RAM instead of 1066 RAM? Hopefully mine is same with yours.

I'm kinda anxious for your AW M15X and Asus G73Jh size comparison. Remember to upload some pics for that . . .

Oh yea, nice unboxing pics!

I got the ori Asus R.O.G. Mouse. Not the Razer Abyssus mouse. Bag is the same.



The hdd the one with OS is partitioned 120GB for OS then 380GB for Data, then 2nd hdd is half half which is 250gb, 250gb. There's no recovery discs must ownself create, around 6 dvd needed. Driver disc is included, got a logitech 25% discount coupon as well. And sum manuals, and also dun forget Asus Strap.
Dunno how much can fetch if I sell this off ? Just in case I wanna keep the M15X.

my mistake... i didn't realise till now...

Not trying to shy away (tek know tat you are not indicating me ) still waiting for my lappy hopefully will arrive same time as I arrive in Malaysia

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. The touchpad is too big.
I do remember there's a software to disable the touchpad. I am barely using it coz I am using a wireless mouse.

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. 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.

Maybe the bios enable overclock in buggy ?

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 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 ? I just dun type so much to avoid the cursor flying around. For me I really would prefer a smaller touchpad.

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.

Just flashed bios 209 too
No more keyboard resource conflicts, heh.
EvilDevil - I'm using CAT 10.4 and it's good. It even gave me 220 more points in vantage.

You guys are brave souls. Flashing Bios and updating GPU drivers. Me chicken . . using stock hehe.

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.

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.

Well..I am sticking to the notion of "If nothing is wrong . . don't go pruay pruay with the BIOS"

And also the various reports on GSODs and PSODs is what keeping me happy with my stock drivers haha

So u never had any gsod or bsod or psod ? I kinda regret touching the stock os, should have installed a new clean os with other drivers to test it out. I found the 10.4 so will give it a go. . I encounter gsod only during many hours of dirt 2. But also my hand itchy go overclock maybe if I didn't overclock nothing will happen.

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!

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
