QUOTE(kuekwee @ May 29 2010, 03:46 AM) I wanna know does window 7 ultimate run better than window 7 home on alienware? Or no different? there is no significant different between Ultimite and Home, except if you want to use XP-version of Windows 7 (i forgot what its called though...) google it. you will have a tonnes of results.

Doctorpreneurs Senior Member 5,367 posts Joined: Aug 2009	QUOTE Just few moments ago, Intel has officially announced that their Nehalem-based 32nm Core processors - Core i3, i5 and i7 - will soon be available in the form of ultra-low voltage (ULV) processors. Designed for ultra-thin notebooks, they are actually pretty similar to their full-voltage siblings in terms of features as the series signature technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper Threading and the built-in HD Graphics are still intact within these new dual-core processors. For starters, they will be available in four flavours: - Core i7-660UM (1.33GHz, turbo speed up to 2.40GHz) - Core i5-540UM (1.20GHz, turbo speed up to 2.00GHz) - Core i5-430UM (1.06GHz, turbo speed up to 1.73GHz) - Core i3-330UM (1.20GHz) In addition to them, Intel has also introduced two more dual-core ULV processors - the Pentium U5400 (1.20GHz) and Celeron U3400 (1.06GHz). All these new ULV processors are already on their way to be equipped into bunch of new laptops made by Acer, Asus, Lenovo and MSI that are going to be available on the market starting from this June onwards…which are in just few days away.

QUOTE(astria @ May 29 2010, 05:22 PM) i really doubt i7-660UM will be used... it sure cost a bomb to put it in... i hope Alienware is crazy enough to take that step QUOTE(Lil Kiasu @ May 29 2010, 06:02 PM) but got turbo and HT mah... dunno about AMD la... dumped my Turion and Athlon system long ago edi~ but I'd like to see if they can put Phenom in their laptop la... maybe can be cheaper than i7~ Added on May 29, 2010, 6:09 pmhuh... saw this.. damn awesome de~ Insane gaming comp~ but I would like to have this instead... classic beauty~ Click and see for yourself la~ pawn in term of benchmarks result is not same with pawn in term of gaming FPS. those Turbo and HTT is generally useless when we talk about gaming. so why company still use them in their gaming product? because Intel say so. hopefully AMD will save the situation about the Area-51 refurbished, its specs is really outdated. but it still a nice collective item!

Doctorpreneurs Senior Member 5,367 posts Joined: Aug 2009	QUOTE(deathbringer @ May 29 2010, 07:34 PM) i for one would prefer Alienware go all out with the M11x. Screw the battery performance and put in the best of the best in it. I want the performance of a M17x in a netbook form. oh heck yeahh! you want battery life, go for Acer Aspire One laa QUOTE(astria @ May 29 2010, 07:34 PM) HTT + low clock is almost a disaster for games... in most cases, HTT would actually reduce in game performance... as a gamer, i would rather go for the tried and tested Core 2 Quad or Phenom II x4... in other word - true cores.
