**M570TU/ETU (Sager 5796/5797) Owners Thread**

I like how WUXGA looks, however it makes it hard to game at native resolutions and keep a decent framerate. 1650x1080 looks just as good, and depending on the game, lends you another 5-10fps. The 9800M GTX just doesn't have enough power to keep up with that resolution in modern gaming. The GTX 280M, however, is a different story.

Actually its 16GB.... but DDR3 is still new, limited and expensive so the limit for consumers is 8GB.

Thats good to know cause I was going to buy 2 x4gigs but no one would give me a straight answer on whether it would work. From other experiences I have had laptops that had 2 gig limits and most, but not all took 4 gigs no problem. Well It's off to buy more memory... Woot!

Ok well maybe not right now. I was willing to pay a pretty penny but not $600.00 + dollars! I should have bought it on ebay when I saw a set go for $250.00.

BTW emike09 I saw that nvidia released windows 7 drivers but no "m" models were listed. Have you tried them yet to see if they work? I'm going to download them and try them hopefully tomorrow unless you give me the thumbs down.

I did try them using them and they ran quite well, however I lost audio through HDMI, so I reverted back to official M drivers.

Is it normal that the right palm rest area gets a little warm for the M570TU models?

[emike09]

It is normal, the HDD is there.

Wait a sec, you were able to get audio on your 5797 via HDMI? According to the forums over at xoticpc, where I got my 5797, HDMI was not available with the 9800 GTX.

Please advise how you go this to work.

Thanks, in advance.

emike could answer

HDMI works perfect for me. But I never got any sound out, but also I do not use official Nvidia mobile drivers. I always go with the DOX ones.

HDMI works for me, sound and picture.
