lol just found an email about fraud prevention security verification stuff and had to send pictures to ocuk of statements and stuff to show i am who i say i am!

i hope this wont delay the shipping as my brothers going insane waiting for them!
 
lol

Hi Guru,

you can slap one in, but would kiss good by to the warranty, well on mine it would as its got a sticker over one of the screw holes :(

id just use it for two years and see if it survived that long, then once the warrantys done he can put his I7 in if he wants, im happy with an i5 coz ive only got a dual core in my main rig anyways.
 
Hey -westy- from a gamers point of view? Nothing really.

Its a quad core at the end of the day, i am yet to see any games that really yet use multiple cores. There are a few and even they dont use more than a 2 or 3 cores at best.

An i7 would improve benchmark results, thats both computational and graphical, other than that i canna see it.

I have an i7 950 at 4.2ghz in my main rig, this is for portable gaming and has plenty of horsepower under the lid for me.

According to Intel, the I5-430M is only dual core though? :confused:
 
had my gx740 for a day now and i can clearly say its the best laptop ive ever owned. the brushed aluminium finish on the lid and palm rest is a real nice touch and its a well pokey zippy laptop especially for the price.

ill be installing a plethora of benchmarking suites and games on it tomoro and will try and report back how it performs to you guys.

but so far, first impressions are really really good! ;-)

nice touch with the free gaming mouse and backpack too!!

Doh! :(

But it is hyperthreaded

2 physical cores 4 logical cores. :D

Still more than enough

Also when turbo boost kicks in (turbo boost will only ramp up a single core afaik), it ramps up to 2.53ghz, is there was a way to just clock it at that perma.
 
gah i cant wait to get mine, but after five days of messing about with fraud prevention crud they only dispatched them on saturday, because the cases were out of stock that i wanted for them, but i said screw the cases, just send the in stock stuff now please! probably going to have to wait till tuesday now -_-
 
hmm well i bought three sorry! they should have an ETA soon, i think they will be a popular item here lol

oh btw when i recieved them i got a backpack with them, i did not know they came with their own bag so ive ordered some belkin ones, which were out of stock so were back ordered, so how do i go about cancelling back orders? coz i dont see a need for extra bags lol
