The microSD slot is also still missing and the x86 versions don't get a sim slot to compensate. The snapdragon version does get vents courtesy of the shared chassis for whatever reason.
Still, no 3.5mm for something that's touted as a "pro" laptop replacement is a tad bit ridiculous. Off my list.
Bulgaria. Here it's a bit more complicated :)
I was looking at the XFX 5870 black but I don't know when I'll be able to get one and I don't have a lot of time left for the warranty (2-3 weeks) so I'm kinda in a hurry :)
About me being concerned about that - considering that my 4870 goes into protection mode at ~55 amps it's kinda impossible for me not to be :) Just want to make sure that the VRMs are good/plenty enough so that the card won't throttle at all. As for Asus - I've seen enough of my friends having...

All right... time to check whether the toxic has extra&better VRMs... otherwise MSI/nVIDIA.
Ouch... Since it's driving that kind of setup I guess it's stable :D
All right then one last question - should I OC the CPU or it still won't bottleneck the card? Since this PSU appears to be stable I guess I can get a better cooler if I have to in its place... Or maybe try to sell the...
Wasn't the toxic 2gb only? :)
Besides I also do some 3d graphics stuff (like this ) and from what I've seen openCL renderers are damn fast.
As for the PSU, still in doubt.. Still I won't be getting all this at least 'till next monday in order to give it some thought during the weekend.
The cause of the restarts is the VGA, read the link in my 1st post for more info :) The ram is running at 800mhz now (forgot to mention that) and it passes over 9 hours of memtest86 (maybe more, dunno for how long I slept that night) w/o errors. From what I've read this motherboard is completely...
I'll be changing my 4870 soon to a 5870 due to, I suppose, VDDC degradation (read this for more info). Looking for a custom cooling solution with 2 gigs of memory.
So far I've got my eyes on the sapphire 5870 toxic.
Now the rest of the system:
