just make sure your power supply wont blow..because when you OC it draws more power..the PS only cope to 150watt..if you smell heat coming out from PS..better reduce your clock..when on long gaming session it may blow or cause you being lock up because of BIOS safety feature when power overload..

Just confirm my order 0.0

Spec:

Alienware M17x Nebula Red
intel i7-840QM
Win 7 ultimate 64 bit
8GB 1333Hz DDR3 Ram
ATI Radeon 1GB HD 5870 CF
1TB HD
Orion Backpack
Alienware Tactx Mouse
Alienware Tactx Keyboard

at least RM12k+ for that setup plus accessories.

Wah. Thats pretty far that you managed to OC that baby. The furthest I managed to OC my 5870 was to 950/1150. I know some going as high as 990/1190 but those guys from the notebookreview forum kinda crazy. The last time I played with those clocks I got a BSOD so I never tried it no more. Plus PC Mark Vantage didn't complete well for the 5870 running on clocks higher than the 950/1150 I set. Maybe its due to heat issues or due to the fact it was installed by myself and not factory installed which could have been more efficient (Thermal paste,pads and all)...
I heard good reviews of the 5850. I think those thinking of getting the M15x should go for this instead of the GTX 260M

Small boost got. Big one no. Personally tried and tested around 4-6fps using the GTX 260M OC. On the ATI 5870, Managed to get around the same 5Fps or higher but not to double digits in fps increase yet. But definetly made demanding games like METRO2033, CRYSIS Warhead and Battlefield BC2 on higher settings smoother for me.

BRO! I wish I could have YOUR SYSTEM!!! SWEET!!!!

you can get that anytime lol..

p/s: price was shock when I deal with my friend. Not as high as I think. AND the actual price will be remain to secret and going put into the pirate of the Caribbean.

Haha.. ok...understand. Nowadays everybody oso got lobang get cheap cheap. But I'm not talking about the price. I'm talking about the spces. i7 840QM/8GB Ram/ cf 5870/ Win 7 Ultimate

yeah...but still have to wait for 1-2 weeks for that machine to reach my house..
1 days= 3 years (from chinese ancient phrase)
10 working days = 30 years T_T
i will be old when i receive that thing

usually arrive in 2week or slightly lesser =D
mine arriving next week! MONDAY!

FYI...ati 5850 currently no stock from what customer service tell me when i want to upgrade my 260m to 5850..

my GTX480, cant even play high and resolution at 1920x1080, FPS only 30++ CPU clock to 4.0Ghz(Core i7 930)
wondering how laptop works...

I thought the GTX 480 is the 2nd best after 5970? (since 6800 series havent release)

this happened 2 months ago, if u order 5850 online, then will be have stock, spare parts purchase will not have

i ccc..that's why when i ask CS why still put ati 5850 on the web if you dont have stock for it..then he start giving excuse..i am being played..damm..will call again tomorrow requesting for upgrading..

Which game bro? Lemme compare....

it just stays at 1.0V~ I dun dare to change anything~

metro 2033

Added on September 2, 2010, 6:53 pmwell, dont call d, they will have same answer, because thier system had stated that "informed no stock". even u call, they will keep on say no stock.
Some CS is better in giving excuse, they will say " For spare parts of Ati 5850 currently is out of stock, currently only have 5850 for new system and warranty issue only" at last "thx for calling dell, have a nice day "
