Near no difference? I would stand to make a difference. It does make a difference, maybe not in the gaming world or in your dimension, but in my world it surely does. I do a lot of converting back and forth, wouldn't mind more power

I completely agree. One of my hobbies (that I am currently unable to pursue because it was too much for my computer) is making *very* CPU-intensive games. If an increase of 10% in clock speed yields an extra 3-5 FPS, I'm hooked.

Thanks Man.

One more question.
What is the SATA mode for ODD?

On p150hm it was sataII, but I don't know if they changed it. The user manual should be floating around here somewhere...

Allow me to clarify. I'm hoping to get a BMI intensity shuttle (search it on amazon, I can't link from 3ds), but due to the incredible bandwidth requirements of transferring uncompressed 1080p most usb3 ports can't actually handle it because their usb3 ports are limited by the speed of the pci-based usb3 cards. I'm assuming that since usb3 is built into the new chipset, it will bypass that issue and was asking if I was correct.

Bumpy bumpy. I can has answer?

The USB3 is built in to the chipset, however, that data has to go somewhere and thats your limiter in this case is either the transfer rate into RAM or out to SATA. But the USB3 bandwidth it should be able to peak as fast as USB3 can.

Useful information might include how often the sound levels actually reach 50+ dB. We know that at maximum load it will hit 50+ dB and at minimum load it will be at comfortable 30 dB levels, but what about normal usage? Is there a lot of fan fluctuation during normal usage? What about during bootup, gaming, or hard drive access? These seem like fair questions to me.

Can we has answer?

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on a P150EM. I could not wait any longer since I will be deployed to the sandbox by the time Ivy Bridge/660m were to be delivered. Here are the specs.

I plan on purchasing a 60/120gb mushkin
Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR60GB 2.5" 60GB SATA III Asynchronous MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR120GB 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

64/128gb crucial
Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Newegg.com - Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) with Transfer Kit

or
Newegg.com - Plextor M3 Series PX-128M3 2.5" 128GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

I don't have much to spend since I just dropped all I had on the laptop. Would 60 or 64 GB be enough to run the OS and several programs without bogging down the ssd? Or is 128 GB a more legitimate solution?

This will be my first SSD setup.

some benchmarks on NP9150 with nVidia GTX675M :

[Red Line]

97C under load with slight OC My NP8150 580M runs at 80C max with 740/850 clocks, but that's with FN+1, of course) Bad paste job?

That's what I noticed as well.

97'c? Must be a bad paste job..

About the fan noise problem, this is a quick review from Logical Blue One (Australia):

In the new P150EM, except mSATA on the SATA II (instead of a useful UMTS), above 90 degrees Celsius for GPU and CPU, fans emitting 57dB and the faulty keys in the backlit keyboard, is something that could convince me to buy it?

[awakeN]

Wait, the P150EM WILL support the 7970M right? I'm waiting for that mobile card... hopefully it'll still be in the ~$1400-1500 price range
