Just curious as to what temps you're reaching? The 5690, 5680, etc. have some of the beefiest cooling setups I've ever seen on a laptop. Should be enough to keep that Prescott under control. I've got a 3.0C in my 5680 and the...

This may or may not be appropriate, but Sager's 9860 is the same machine as the 7700. For a bit less... Just one more thing to consider... As if there weren't enough choices...

With the discontinuation, are the 5690 upgrades still available for the 5680 and earlier machines? Just curious, and if yes what's the current price? Has it gone down at all? Thanks

Well, I know someone with a Dell 9100, and it is mostly plastic... and there are a few previous XPS owners here on the forum. To help narrow your search a little, the 9860 and Alienware 7700 are the same chassis, so some of the 9860...

How were your results? ...just curious...

I've used ATI Tool for the longest time and it works like a champ. After you install it, you run the Find Max Core, and Find Max Mem, and just sit back. It monitors for artifacts as it overclocks... if it finds errors it backs off...

Those scores are normal for stock clocks... with OC'ing (474/279) 3703 3DMark03 1419 3DMark05 Man... those 9860 scores are insane... If I only had $3k lying around

The big reason for me getting a 56xx chassis was its cost. I mean... it was benchmarked as the fastest Sager machine going, and it was a crapload less money than some of the bigger 17's and way less than any slower AW competitor. The...

Hey Amir. I just got my battery swapped from Sager. I got my 5680 at the beginning of April, and it was doing exactly what you have described. I'd check the battery... it'd be ok for about 10 mins... then the meter would go from like...

thanks for the help guys... It turns out that I just had some crappy (I'm a web design noob) code that Firefox sorted through and churned out butter while IE churned out poo. It's all better in both browsers now. I wish I could...
