It work perfect. Ya something special is the light actually point at u whatever angle you look at it..lolz

haha.. yea.. i noticed that it doesnt glow and its bright from all angles. unlike the imperator which is only bright when u stare directly on top of the logo, and imperator glow sux too. hehe.

Nope...i actually revert back to previous driver coz it slowed down my FPS significantly

She is currently using an old M600 Dell with her intericad software. It can work, but it lags and the 3D rendering lags too.

I believe a lappy with higher spec can do the job actually. The GT335m 1Gb GPU should solve the 3D rendering issues, but with the SULV proc.... I was wondering how this proc can affect the final outcome?? Any sifu can advise?

Else, I might just plan to get a lappy with i5 M430 proc and maybe ATI 1Gb ATI Radeon HD5470 GPU...

but, considering the size as well? i believe laptop that comes with i5 should be more than 14 inch. so, it doesnt meet ur wife's requirement or need of having a small and powerful laptop liaw

no choice, as performance comes first. Indeed if the M11x can do the job, plus the size, it will just be perfect. I just wana get advise on how the SULV proc affects since this is a much inferior proc compared to the C2D and new i series...

BTW, how heavy is the M11x?

Not really, there's 13'' with i7-620M...

Well i only test it on bad company 2 that time. Maybe they should add this instead:
Up to 30% performance decrease in Battlefield Bad Company 2...hihi

Tested starcraft 2 at ultra setting..get 17fps to 30fps.. but very playable at high setting

the new driver does enable SLI for many games but i see no different in performance ... FPS still same lolx , but i notice i can run Bad Company on max settings off HBAO dx10 quite smoothly.

Hi all sifu,

I'm currently looking for a laptop with price range around 3-3.5k, not a hardcore gaming user but emphasis more on the built-in quality and performance. 1st time buying laptop, hopefully can get some advice on what laptop to buy.

Thx.

Somewhere better to ask your question would be here
Unless you're looking at Alienware laptops, cheapest one is the M11x which is RM3499 if I'm not mistaken.

From ALIENWARE You have the M11x which is around your budget add maybe a few hundred more. 11", comes with a dedicated GPU....

how you choose to run bad company on dx10? or its already running on dx10?

its already runnin on dx 10..

its cheaper than m11x as well..
