QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Oct 28 2010, 09:43 AM) Hmmmm, im using Atheros. It is, but I was thinking of spending my credit on either extra RAM / HDD space. But if the intel cards make a big difference, I might just sacrifice abit and go for the intel 6200. Feels the same. Hope it doesnt drop much.  Anyway, isnt the wifi card upgradable?  GenTech are still saying their orders will ship this Friday, so fingers crossed ! |

Stock G53 already have massive amount of RAM, i doubt you need even more.GenTech are still saying their orders will ship this Friday, so fingers crossed ! HDD wise, you might want to get Momentus XT. Worth upgrading, IMO. Faster load up time for your windows, programs and games. Wireless card, if possible, get it upgraded too. Or go for those extra bling blings like coloured keyboards.  |

I worry is the connection drop only happens with certain routers.GenTech are still saying their orders will ship this Friday, so fingers crossed !

QUOTE(corad @ Oct 28 2010, 09:16 AM) I would take Justin's words with a grain of salt. He'll probably post again with some "good news" about having a special batch coming in. oh? they'll automatically deduct the price for you? or did you have to place a new order?to G73 owners, is there any difference with the standard wireless card vs Intel cards ? Since GenTech reduced their prices on their HDD,RAM,Blueray etc I've got about 150USD in credit to spend so wondering if there are any advantages between these cards. Added on October 28, 2010, 1:28 pmwhy is the price constantly falling? 79 > 65 > 59 for blu ray This post has been edited by DoubleU: Oct 28 2010, 01:28 PM |

I doubt i can list out every single one of them, as there are so many variants of each model.The main thing should concern you are G53JW, G73JH and G73JW. G51, G72 are old model. |
