upgrading sandy bridge to ivy bridge?

[saturnotaku]

does the sager clevo 8150 have bios support?

The answer is that there is no answer because as was clearly pointed out to you:

For starters, Ivy Bridge is not even out

[sssgood]

...........lol true that, thanks!

IB BIOS support has been available in 6 series desktops for some time now even though the DT IB CPU will not be released until April IIRC. Maybe that says something about laptop manufacturers willingness to update.

I'd be surprised if no one at all upgrades their laptop from SNB to IB but they might have to do their own BIOS mod.

do you guys think I should wait 2 more months, or just go for it ( I was looking at the sager np8150)?

Buy what you need with the money you have. If you keep on waiting for the next "thing" to come out, you'll never buy a notebook.

Yeah, Haswell should be awesome, lol

BTW isn't mobile IB scheduled for May?

on april Asus will show its g55 and g75 with Ivy. I would surely wait for up to 3 monthes unless you need laptop asap. People had been waiting longer for Ivy since last year.

I've figured out how to get mmtool to work with my notebook just so I could have a chance at upgrading to IB

Have you made a start on it yet?

I wonder if the locked mobile SNB's support extra multi's like the DT locked SNB's? I'm still running a C2D laptop, probably be that way for another year or two yet, so no hands on with the later mobile chips.

updating microcodes is practically nothing for cpu support. am 99% sure it will be hardware issue. I read smth about it. not all desktop mobos will support Ivy.
