QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Jun 25 2010, 02:23 AM) YeaH,,they upgraded the i7 and tge 740QM is running the same as the current 820qm both at 1.73ghz. The 840 is around 1.86ghz... I wonder if its easy getting the cpus individually? Then we can upgrade ours..... Dual ATI 5870, 1GB.Sweet. Another M17x-R2 owner. So you're running the all mighty i7 920XM PRoc. How about your GPU? Single or Dual ATI 5870? This post has been edited by louislee1991: Jun 25 2010, 01:26 AM |
