QUOTE(claxxion @ Sep 12 2010, 10:54 PM) My A42JR just came back alive.. haha  It died 2 months back just after 5 months of usage. The hard disk went kaput, and could not even boot. There were symptoms of numerous lagging occasions while normal usage, where the whole laptop would hang for like 1-2 mins and becomes useable again. So just a reminder, if it starts to lag for no apparent reason, your hard disk may die soon..  Decided to forgo the warranty and replaced it with a Hitachi 500GB one. Could not trust Seagate anymore. Its so far so good, even smoother than before..  At least yours died after 5 months. Mine died in a week. =/ But you don't void the warranty if you swap the hard drive though. |

Only advantage of the i7-600M series is the higher TB for it compared to the i5-400 and 500 series plus higher RAM speed support.

QUOTE(astria @ Sep 13 2010, 04:02 PM) nah... 600M is still DDR3 1066MHz... it's still an Arrandale... main thing is even higher clock and more cache... other than that it's the same as 500M... It is?! Well then guess the only thing that makes it more different is that cache size then. |

Yup, bump up the GPU and I'll pay more for it though.

Better to get it straight from Nvidia. The Asus site barely updates the drivers at all.

Just did a Vantage GPU test for the old and beta driver... honestly it's not worth it for synthetic tests.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «   Only 11 points gained in Performance mode. Also, the temps:  |
