Thanks that was what I thought the pics were not that clear.

you are welcome =)
btw. check out the OCZ forum as there is great amount of info about OCZ Whitebook (Arima/Flextronics 840 DI) there...it is exactly the same model as AW m17 - only difference being lack of alinen logo and stealth paintjob

I think there was a rash of problems on the 9750 for a short time based on the lack of the hardware builder to remove the plastic cover from between the heatsink and the gpu/memory units.

I am waiting for a new m17 to replace this one, and it seems it's going to take LONG time.
My original m17 is acting up already in games where graphics are screwed up sometimes, the 3dmarks06 is record low, but haven't crash yet. I am not going to bother testing if the hardware is failing from the heat, I am just going to use this until the new replacement arrive. I would be very pissed if I have to keep this system and they replace it.
I just hope this one doesn't break down until the new one arrives.

Yeah, but the m17 costs less.

Update on the replacement.

1 week after I placed new order of the replacement, I am still in phase 2 and my credit card is already charged. So I am $4k+ out. The new replacement seems stuck with out of stock of graphic card and keyboard.

My original m17 is acting up in games now.

fusion you ordered a new one? what are the specticles.

[fusionsenses]

same spec. it has to be same to be a replacement.

AW told me they are having trouble with the phases, mine say's billing but they said I was past phase3 and will have the status/phase issues fixed soon. Personally they should do away with the phase system, causes more problems than it's worth

The trick I use was Speed fan my old m5550 would run 110c then turn off. But speedfan was setup after 10 to 15mins so the fan would turn on. Basicly I had to run the laptop fan manualy. Untel replaced.
