after my customisation at RJ Tech,Mucro SG,Power notebook and xotic pc all cost me 14 k ,what do yuou think i should change is it worth to upgrade for gtx 485m SLI from a 6970M crosfire?and any diff between normal wifi and bigfoot wirelles?

Are you a hardcore gamer?
If you have budget constraint, and you'd like to have dual-GPU, Radeon 6970 could be a good option.

As for wifi adapter, I don't see we need bigfoot.
Where are you from? How fast is your Internet bandwidth?
If you are in Malaysia, the normal wifi adapter is more than enough to deliver all the bandwidth you need.
P/S If you are really particular on the bandwidth, go for wired instead of wireless. Much consistent bandwidth and latency.

Anyway, please show us the hardware specs that you configured.

Go for crossfire. It scales better than tge sli. Though on individual cards the gtx485 is slightly faster. Bigfoot Is crap with poor drivers. Hope tht helps.

I will suggest you to get 6970m crossfire, which is almost the same power as gtx485m with lower price.

Hope it can help

thx for your suggestion,and with my budget i can also get an AW M18X ,now dont know which to choose,btw i am at Malaysia,but my parents are Malaysian tha live at US ,maybe can ask them to import for me AW M18X

That would b your personal preference. If you enjoy light shows go for the m18x. It's well within your budget lol.

I want M18X because of the light but its only have one hdd slot,and i dont want to sacrifice my blueray drive slot,and the total put off for sager is no backlit kb,or not i will get sager because of the nice plain design and awsome monstrous specs for a good price and its desktop procs,can upgrade procs easier

I don't quite understand why Clevo/Sager doesn't use SB desktop processor.
i7-960 is an old processor. Besides, it's only SATA2 in this machine.
Mobile SB processors, i7-2720 and above, are generally faster than desktop i7-960.

As you need dual-GPU, you have to go for N7282.
Just my personal opinion, I have a feeling that Clevo/Sager is clearing the old stock of Nahelem before they release the Sandy Bridge.
If I were you, I just won't spend 13K on Nahalem. Just don't feel right to do so.

Ok, back to your specs,
1) Do you need Win7 Ultimate?
2) Go for Radeon 6970 CF instead.
3) Scrap the bigfoot.
4) Do you need bluray? I have a bluray drive in my HTPC and I could hardly use it (not even OS Windows installation).
5) Extend your warranty to at least 2 years. We're talking about a machine that worth MYR13K.

Good luck.

Added on June 2, 2011, 12:43 pmYes, the processor is upgradeable.
But it's Nahalem. I just don't see a point to upgrade Nahalem.

@ALeUNe
well i guest i should play a waiting game ,waiting for sb desktop procs is release on np 7282,i need blueray player cause ,i play blueray movie on my laptop,rumah bujang,no lcd tv and blueray player

Find mucroasia , they're Singapore reseller

If you don't need it urgently, I think it is worth waiting for a newer processor & platform.

If you need it urgently, I'd say get the 7282 without processor & ram modules. You can get cheaper extreme Nahalem processor & ram modules at LYN garage sales.

Hi just want ask anybody find sager in other country get to claim the income tax rebate??

ok thx bro for your advices

@ALeUNe

There is a news that upcoming NP7282 will use sandybridge processor.

@Irfan2397
There would be an issue of using MSN messenger if use bigfoot killer wireless card, but I can't recall where I saw the thread discussing that issue.

Well Clevo already has the SB Desktop revision for the X7200 incoming later this year. So that's gonna bump the price up a bit.
