Can you post your OC settings Craig?
Settings are as follows:

3dMark03 at default
Powerstrip Overclocked at:

GPU - 444MHz
Memory - 244MHz

I ran these tests by slowly ramping up in small incriments and meticulously checking for artifacts. I only encountered one small blip on the Trolls Cave at this high setting. So I backed off from here but am quite content with a better driver, we could safely hit 3300 with a 3.2MHz CPU.

Of course I'm not leaving my machine OC'd this high, but it is nice to know if/when we see HL2 and Doom3 we'll all have a few extra ponies to run before we plunk down more change for a new Video Module. But of course, we're all suckers...and probably will anyway

Thanks Craig. So after OC'ing, you just set your settings back to defaults?

Yep. And posted around 2800 3dmarks if I'm not mistaken.

bottomline if I had the extra cash to burn,I would get an alienware..(alienware still has an enourmus profit margin)
money aside, Alienware beats Sager anyday of the week but sagers are better values.



alienware better get something new out because the new Sager 8790(if it will ever get here!) would run circles arounds alienwares m10..



Sager 8790 stats here-------> http://talknotebooks.com/showthread.php?t=9961

Nice signature. A little over the edge don't ya think?
