did you mean to hit an I not one?

clock speeds don't matter much anymore.

its all about what you do in those cycles.
 


My best friend has the $1800 version with dual hard drives and dual graphics cards.... too much for anything right now but he loves it. Another buddy just bought the same one you did... Ordered thru bestbuy got a mouse and a bag all for like 1500 with extra warranty coverage


Youll love it... amazing machine :th_thumbsup-wink::th_thumbsup-wink:
 
i kind of want me a laptop so i can slap ubuntu on it. i need to find myself something cheap. my current gaming/office rig is pimpin. i7 920 is epic.
 
Not bad for a laptop! Not a bad price either.

My desktop still kicks the **** outta it ;) i7 930 water cooled :D

I'd go 7200rpm before i'd go SSD because finding a 600gig SSD is gonna cost out the nose. Call me old school but i like my drives that spin still. I don't doubt they are improvement but the cost to improvement ratio isn't worth it to me.
 


they are performance wise because the transfer rate is alot higher than any 7200 drive, and it takes less energy to run a SSD so it saves on battery life too, but with that laptop its really just battery backup not battery life LOL

its like 30 mins in full performance mode while gaming for my buddies

Lol 7200rpm for laptop yes, but not for desktop. My desktop has a 10k rpm Raptor 600gb. VERY noticeable performance increase over even a Caviar Black.

P.S. That's a pretty nice laptop you got there, less the hard drive.
 


They are very quick for being 7200rpm, but still can't match the seek time of the Raptors (which is ok if you're using it as a storage drive). I have a 2tb Caviar Black and it's *****in. I'll be getting another one when I need to replace my 1tb Samsung piece. If only they had them in SATA 6gbps :(
 
I dont know what almost any of this means but this is what I got....

1. Cooler Master Storm Scout tower
2. AMD 2.8 ghz Phenom2 6 core processor with overclocking capability
3. 4 gb GSkill 1600 mhz DDR 3 ram
4. Cooler Master 700 w power supply
5. ASRock motherboard
6. NVidia GForce video card
7. some kind of fast 100 g hard drive
8. HP 20" LCD flat screen monitor
9. logitech wireless keyboard and mouse
10. Logitech speakers with sub(that sound amazing)
11. A bunch of other things like cd/dvd burner and memory card readers and other cool gadgets.

I just gave my cousin the money and he built it and its blazing fast at anything, probly got less than or right at a grand in it.

120gb is plenty for your system drive. and plenty for a laptop. on teh desktop slap two 1tb raid drives for storage. right now im running low on my wd1001fals but im buying 1 more and possibly ssd for teh system.
