Thanks Maziar. One question, is the RAM usage on the i7 740QM tri-channel or dual channel? In other words, theoretically would it perform better on 3 x 2GB or 4 x 2GB? Thanks....

Hi guys, I'm about to purchase the ASUS G53JW-A1 and I just have a doubt on how much RAM to purchase. I'll be using the laptop for mostly gaming and occasional photoshopping/video encoding (no 3D editing); but I only do one at a time. At all times there will be 1-2 torrents downloading in the...

@cinnaman hmm they had ATI options till about 2 weeks back - and they disappeared suddenly.. I wrote to both xoticpc (XP) & powernotebooks (PN). XP says the ATI cards had some stability issues so the manufacturers have switched to Nvidia.. I don't think this is right! PN says there's a short...
