WOW,

I didn't know you could get the FX-60 in a laptop!

That's one powerful mobile PC you have there..

hmm as my friends on wow would say that is one IMBA machine,
Project what ever one you like, looks like it will kick some ass, Im now seriously considering getting me a laptop, but it's finding an AMD powered one, I don't like these intel "cellypain" jobs..

Excellent rig!!! :thumbs:

Well, I tried RC5-72 first and it runs 21,813,043 keys/sec.

OGR-P2 runs as high as 66,716,000.

:rock:

SoB runs just shy of 5,000,000 cEMs/sec (2,500,000 for each core).

:rock:

I'm going to leave it on SoB at least until it finishes the 2 blocks it started.

Damn that is one powerful 'top. I bet it is probably not a good idea to literally put it in your lap and use it though... :smoking:

Sounds like a winner! Just keep it cool or have a supply of fresh hard drives on hand. I highly recommend the Lapcool2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&Description=lapcool2&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0) .
