Re: M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2
Wow, never knew that before. A little late now, but I have all my systems running ultimate so I'm use to it.

Not really, I struggle to use more than 4GB RAM on my Clevo and that is with 0 pagefiling and a ton of stuff running including Battlefield 3. Originally Posted by homank76

I have come to the realization that if my wife ever leaves me, it will be for clicking Refresh on the FedEx website while waiting for my computer.

Re: M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2
I dont think you will be waiting long. I ordered mine last Tuesday night and it was out for despatch by the Friday only 3 working days.
The problem is it is coming from China so it depends how quickly they ship it to you by FEDEX. Mine was here today however
well chuffed and well worth the wait its as amazing as you expect it to be.
Hopefully it can go straight east otherwise it will have to go a long way west haha!

Re: M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2
Well mine's a refurb. I've ordered at least one refurb from the Outlet per year for the last 4 years or so, and it seems to always take 5.

Re: M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2
Besides gaming, I'll also be using LR and CS5, so the extra RAM is needed.

Re: M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2
I think he was referring to ''LOOK, RAM''
An SSD is going to be so so vital homank and as you live in Korea you could probably get a magic price on one being so close to China.
I currently boot my M11x in 16 seconds with my SATA II SSD which runs at less than half my new M4 that should arrive tomorrow it is going to be bombshell fast.

Hahahaha...
Sorry, LR = Lightroom, a program used for editing photos.
@ Yiddo, one would think SSD's would be cheaper here, but actually they are more expensive due to the VAT they have in place on electronics.Dell Studio 1537, Alienware M11x R3, Alienware M18x R1, Alienware M7700, Dell U2711 Monitor, Dell U2412m Monitor, Alienware Tactx Keyboard, Razer Mamba Mouse
