Ok... my 7750g will be here tomorrow by 10:30A.. & if not by that time, anytime tomorrow is fine since I'll be gone until tomorrow night anyway, but need to do work tomorrow night for sure vs starting Thurs. night!

Lol in BF3 i get low 20's using "auto" graphics settings which is almost all high. Depressing.

Are you sure your clock speeds are right? I have had stuck low clocks with some drivers. With the 6650m I got a pretty significant boost with an increase of just 50mhz using OverDrive. In Heaven Benchmark anyway, no BF3 to test.

I was getting 30-35 with auto with the ASUS 12.4 drivers LOL..

PMed you as you probably know. I'm sure you figured it out lol

Well, i should have noted that was with the native res of 1600x900. I lowered res from 1900x600 to 1280x768 which is what everyone with the Asus would have been using and with everything on auto-high 8xAA 16xAF i was still getting like 35-50fps. I'll probably mess around with it a bit tonight to see what i can get.

I don't pay close enough attention to drivers and gaming stuff to know what the best display driver is... so any recommendations are welcome lol.

Got mine but don't have time to do anything until around 9P EST =/

Put the SSD in the main bay & the bluetooth wifi card I purchased for the ASUS, and the 8gb ram from the ASUS in it..

I really like the bottom plate. I couldn't figure out how to remove the optical, so I just pulled on it to try... & it came out. Then I realized the screw was on the bottom plate, which is super convenient!

Nice to have a better webcam & sound! The keyboard is fine.

Anyway, I put Win 7 Ult on it & it didn't pick up the wifi card straight away, so I'll have some work tonight. I took the card that came in it & popped it into the ASUS with no probs. Get's better range then the bt card..

Thankfully I have a dremel with tons of bits & also the optical caddy looks like it'll work just fine too.. so what I'm going to do is SSD, SSD, HDD in the optical or wherever safest & coolest operating place would be for the HDD. The HDD will be the one from the ASUS since I hate selling used HDDs for ID protection.

I was really confused when I saw how many open spots inside... specifically the empty memory bay.. I couldn't figure out what went in there until I moved the memory over & couldn't find a second slot in the one section.

I'm also a fan of the bottom plate because the screws don't come out, which is handy!

FYI messing with settings i was getting steady 30-40's on 1280x768... 1600x900 probably isn't going to happen. For those of you who play bf3 more and know what's the best "playable" settings please let me know.

Well it seems as if BF3 should run a lot better too from the youtube videos I've seen. That's my main game & is pretty much my benchmark at this point LOL.

But yeah, really need confirm by someone on here for the 6gbps.. I would most likely pull the trigger at that point.

I'm impressed that it has room for 2 SSDs w/o taking out the optical, but I might take it out anyway to rock a third SSD since I only have two 256's right now & def need more room.

If any of you do have a 6gbps drive, I need to know if it's 6gbps in the main bay & the secondary bay. & if by some chance there's a caddy for the optical bay & you already have it.. I'd like to know the speeds there too pleeeeease!

Sorry for the late response, but I can confirm that both bays are indeed SATA 3 (6Gbps). I'm currently rocking an OCZ Agility 3 120GB Sata 6Gbps in mine, and it's running great. 12 second startup (to desktop), and 6 second shutdown.

No problem LOL.. I've got it sitting here while I move over from the ASUS..

I guess I'm going to do SSD + SSD + HDD since I already have an optical caddy.

I suppose I should put the HDD in the normal bay since that's probably the "coolest" place for it, or somewhere else?

9 cell battery only $90 from Acer. Nice!
