Gateway FX laptop Series Thread *mods and upgrades*

[Xecuter2]

All the drivers work perfect, I think it runs much better, 32 bit was dragging for me for some reason, especially right after boot. I have had no issues with 32 or 64 really and have been taking it to class with me every other day and using it as my main pc until today.

Well...If you are not going to use it and play games and do pc stuff on your desktop it would not be as good idea to spend so much money, but if you use a laptop much and move around a lot between home and college for instance you will find that it's well worth it. Desktop performance for when your desktop isn't there

How does it run in 64bit compared to 32bit?

So far I've seen a pretty good X64 driver support for this laptop. Will try it myself in a few weeks. Like Xecuter said...It may even improve performance

BTW...Just something to think about

I was wondering if you could run PCMark05 http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1106 and HDtune http://www.hdtune.com/ I think it would be interesting to compare systems, plus see what they can do. Thanks man, I have 2 Hitachi 200gb 7200's I'am thinking of installing.

Man...I want to do the exact thing. Got one already in my old laptop but need to buy another one which I don't have the money for right now.

Will run those in a second

Just picked up my P-6831FX from BB this past week. My T9300 should be arriving in the mail tomorrow. I have installed CPU's before, but never on a laptop. I know retail desktop CPU's come with a thermal paste factory installed. Will the same be true for the T9300 retail? If not, where can I locally purchase thermal paste? Any of the big name stores carry it?
