NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M.

Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards.

PS Should just be off the GTX 560m gaming wise.
 
Just wandering that in the description it says "Intel Core i7-2670QM – Second Generation 2.20GHz Quad Core with Hyper-Threading to 3.10GHz"

Probably a stupid question, but how does hyper-threading work? Does the cpu go to 3.1ghz on it's own when it need the extra bit of juice or what?

Thanks.
