yup, some how on the desktop if wanna overclock only available for 980x or 990x, other proccessor have to use software.
even though have 6 cores, even the metro 2033 or Crysis 2 only used up to 4 threads only. i prefer SB in notebook because of batterylife(switchable graphic card within intel 3000 and the dedicated GC), i doubt that X7200 can stand more than 1 hour in maximum performance and i think cant even stand for 2 hours for performance saving even less. m18x will never my idea laptop, since gonna get it for review only, taking a 18.4" laptop i rather get a desktop. but m17x-R# is a good performance and able to portable(but still i think no need such a high end PC) since when we go out for gaming we not going to use the dedicated graphic card(battery life concern), if we gonna use, we need to find plugs. go out for few hours gaming, lower graphic card should be ok, and i think not all of out friend having good PC/laptop to play game with us, so normal laptop would do. My XPS 15 serve me well

m18x make me goes crazy

m18x makes me poor

It makes me more conscious about saving more money!
It just has that unique sense of attraction combined with power

Received an email from my cousin
My baby alienkun is arriving before or on May 2nd...
I hope before

What are the chances for it being before??
Please Dell... Have mercy on me and send by April 30th...

usually takes how long for alienware to release r1 r2 and r3 ?

if you know what R means, you will know that it depend on hardwares release or progress on the market

Heroez
Think it this way. You can try to predict when Intel will release the Ivy Bridge verison of mobile processor. When it does, usually Alienware will release a refresh of its models, maybe in the forms of M11x-R4, M14x-R2, M17x-R4 and M18x-R2. It is purely my speculation, but you can take it as a rough guide as to when a new revision will be released.

Omai~ I feel screwed nao~

Wah, so young only?

hahaha!

relax!

congratz on V8...

10 hours+ is for M11x?
3 hours on an 18" laptop is very good already, comparable to the previous generation 14" o

wandering to see M18x ^^

hm thinking about the same thing too... but i think its time for me to move on now, concentrate on more important matter like..

thats the current thought tho, don't know if it change once M18x arrived here!

hahaha

wondering who is the oldest most matured here? any beyond 30?

Fuyoh, someone got gf already?
Gamers are always young at heart

wedding ady ?

Hmm... I wonder if there's anyone younger than me here~

no monneh lol.

hmm anyway long time i didn't tweak my GPU. last night just install latest SLi driver to optimized Crysis 2, the framerates down tremendously.

single GTX280M could push up till 35 FPS on Advance setting but after enabling SLi, framerates down not reaching 20. suspecting outdated GPU Driver.... gonna fix this by next weekend as my holiday ended by today

Suggestion: Fix it by getting the M18x bro
