Sigh, and it would be such an easy way to gain a bit of performance since as you run 4GB + and can turn off HD page file you are constantly hitting ram :-(

:-) I was reading up on that a while back. Seemed like it was kinda buggy. I just wanted to know if it in *theory* recognizes all of the 5793 hardware farily easily or if it is a big hassle.

One tiny issue looking at those benchmarks is the fact that they do not include the 8800M GTX. Remember, it's an underclocked desktop 8800GT. Perhaps the closest thing on there is the 8800GT 512MB, but even that is going to be...

OSX! How hard was that install?

I haven't seen one yet. To be honest, I'm happy I got the 1680x1050 screen because the single 8800M GTX just fails when I try to play on my 24" dell LCD's native 1920x1200. Crysis at that resolution is not really playable with a mix...

Penryn (45nm) T9300 2.5ghz 6mb cache 8800M GTX 4GB Ram Samsung 250gb hard drive Windows Vista 64 bit ultimate edition 9124 3Dmark06 3564 PCMark Vantage Will add more soon.

Yes I updated drivers. Given, the benchmark was done in Vista Ultimate 64 not XP 32 which always means there's a performance hit. For a non-overclocked, Vista64 system, it seems about right. My desktop did over 16k in XP 32 but is at...

Just ran first 3dmark06 on the notebook and was at 9116.

Don't get me wrong, it's leaps and bounds beyond the 9300 w/ 7800 GTX. At the same time, you just have to realize, that getting what should be the best notebook performance possible, is WAY behind a $1000 desktop. If you never used a...

The fan noise is really just the db level of the fan. The fact that it comes on is good, it just is exceptionally loud when it does come on. As far as performance, I always run 1680x1050 native. In COD4 I see stuttering about once per...
