3840QM vs 4900QM

Hello, as some of you may know, I traded my Alienware away for a MBP. What you might not have known is that I have another, an AW M14X R2. I was looking through Dell's new AW 14's and was wondering how much of a performance difference there is between a 3840QM and 4900QM. I was looking at some...

Lenovo Ideapad Y410p vs Y510p

Definitely not. You don't have to run at the native resolution of 1920x1080 so if you start to experience choppiness, you could just turn the settings down. Higher resolution is going to have minimal impact (if any) on the battery life. 1920x1080 on a 15" laptop is great and I wouldn't be...

Alienware for Macbook Pro?

I don't mind going backwards in terms of performance as Apple products have always lacked in that department anyway (shots fired). But on a positive note, Apple products have a higher build quality and much better customer service than 99% of PC manufacturers. For this deal to be fair, what...

Alienware for Macbook Pro?

Thanks so much for your guys' responses. If we were to trade straight across, would that be fair? To be honest, I don't necessarily need a MBP, it's just something that would be nice to have. The AW just sits in the corner of my room. I don't mind trading if it's fair (even though the AW is...

Alienware for Macbook Pro?

My current computer handles all of my needs just fine. I am just entertaining the idea of switching back to the Mac world and this offer presented itself to me. Not sure if I should bite though given that the new Haswell MBPs are planning on being released within the next few weeks. Yes, the...

Upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

Awesome, thanks so much for the simple and brief explanation. The settings have been changed :D. I was taking a look at CPU-Z to make sure that all the changes went as expected and noticed this: Is there a possibility of the memory running at 1600 @ 1.5 volts? Thanks in advance.

Upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

Hi lehtv, I was just wondering if reducing the memory speed and voltage is necessary. The computer is running fine at the default memory settings but I don't want to keep doing so if something is being harmed. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!

Upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

Thanks for the replies. I ended up purchasing the components yesterday and finished the build last night. Currently using my old monitor (1440x900 :O). All I need are my IPS monitors to come in so I can see this thing in action!

Upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

Hello, I believe that the i5 3570K is an Ivy Bridge no? I haven't used the 2nd graphics card yet. I also just received the case and PSU today from Newegg. I'll keep that in mind about the graphics card though. I'll most likely just run 1 if I have to use the molex adapters. Thanks so much for...

Upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

Hello, I am currently using an AMD Phenom II X4 945 paired with a Gigabyte GA-770-UD3 motherboard. An opportunity has fallen onto me where I can purchase an i5 3570K and ASRock Z77 Extreme 6 for $185. I figure I can sell my current CPU and motherboard for $85 which will make my upgrade $100...

Netflix kills my internet speed?

Sorry about that Jack. - Our main TVs that we use for Netflix are two LG 47LM6200's. - The router is a Cisco E4200V2. - The modem is a standard Motorola that we're renting from Comcast. - There are no ethernet cables connected to the router. - The bedroom TV gets 2 signal bars out of 5. - The...
