rflcptr, I was thinking of getting rid of my desktop system (c2d 6600,8800gts,2gb ddr2) for a laptop instead since I usually travel every other weekend. There are two systems that I was thinking of getting which are:
Gateway P-7801u
Or the super expensive new MacBookPro just... because I...
Choder, how were you able to pull those numbers?:confused:
Another thing to point out, is that I would be mostly just be playing wow and starcraft 2... so I don't even believe that the m17 is worth the money.
Sorry to bother you all, but I wanted to know if overall a gaming laptop uses less power than a gaming desktop. Currently I have desktop that uses a 850 Watt power supply... if I were to get the alienware M17 would the M17 use less power than my current desktop?
Ok, I have the exact same issue with my ds3 board, e6600, 2 gigs of ram (OCz platinum), HD 4870 and a Antec 850W PS. So I was wondering how did you fixed the endless reboot? I would really appreciate it.
And 2nd... so this is an issue with Gygabyte not liking ATI cards?
I had the following setup
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (stock)
2GB OCZ
PNY 8800GTS 320MB
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965
500 Watt Coolermaster
I upgraded my card to the HD 4870, and now my system will boot.. turn off... reboot.... turn off, not even getting to the windows loading...
