All fine compromises except the HDD. 5400 is not acceptable and it only saves you a tenner. Really?! No need.

It doesnt perform as a 5400 though. It performs the same as a 7200 AND saves you a tenner. _________________Twitter Blogflickr

Maybe. But I don't buy it, and for the sake of 3 beers, I'd stick with the F3 myself. Just in case.

Just pressing the button it is now over clocked the 920 to 950 level and the RAM can over clock to what ever speed I want - I did mess up and only brought 13333 speed instead of 20000 - it currently set at 16000 I am not sure how to push it to 4.0+GHz I think you can get 3.6GHz on air Mark
