talking about gaming performance wich is, i believe, the main purpose of this upgrade, all the cpu starting from the 740qm and up are up to the task. Even the high-end dual core for that matter.
shall we go back On topic

Could you do the same for your claim? Can you link me to where Alienware or Intel specifically says the i7 2720qm is the direct replacement for the i7 720qm? Originally Posted by Mr. Fox

Manufacturers always name their products in a manner to which they can sucker the most people into buying a specific model. My reasoning for the i7 2630qm and 2635qm replacing the i7 720qm is due to the basic hierarchy of both generations of cpus.
The i7 2620m is a replacement for the i7 620m. Both have 2 cores, and both are the lowest end i7 models offered in each generation. The next step up is the i7 2630qm and i7 2635qm which are identical in nearly every way. The i7 2630qm is the second lowest SB cpu offered by intel. It is the first SB cpu to have 4 cores instead of 2 (if you follow the hierarchy.) Likewise the i7 720qm is the second lowest first generation i7, and also the first in that hierarchy to have 4 cores.

re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
I have a question about undervolt.
my cards are running @1.0V rock solid, i can OC'em stable up to 735/1000. 750 will lock them up. Temperatures are amazing and the laptop has never been so silent, by consequence.
I believe that the gpu's can run at stock even lower than 1V. It is possible to flash them for example @0.98V? or it must be of 0.05 inc/dec?
Edit: rock solid@0.98V stock and 700/1000 clocksLast edited by CptXabaras; 1st August 2011 at 02:49 PM.

re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
Is there any where to buy the crossfire cable?
I have 285's in SLI in my R2 and want to go to the 5870's or 6970's.
