Max temp for that CPU is 100c. Most laptops cut it very close to thermal specifications... reference: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/All-Core-i5-Models/943

And your point being? if he's posting tjunction temps, he hasnt tripped the thermal shutdown. If he's posting tCase, he most probably IS tripping thermal shutdown. All depends on the software he's using to report temps..

Actually he might be right... tjunction for that CPU is 105c It all depends on what temps he's reading tcase or tjunction. Also, ASUS might of modified the BIOS to shutdown at a lower value then the max intel specifies for the CPU http://ark.intel.com/products/64899/

a 2670qm should be faster then a 8400 IF (big IF) the software you are using to encode is multithreaded. If the application single threade, that might be why it is slower. The rest of the components do not really have an impact on video recoding... its purely CPU... unless the software on...

After installing your pro version, did you install all the drivers including the video cards drivers?

Pure math... 3GB per 5 min = 10 MB/s... Any hard disk should be able to maintain that if no other process (besides the OS) are running. As for CPU/etc... all depends on what the software is doing/requires. If it's only "receiving" the file on writing on disk, that should not be very intensive.

LOL do your research first... Alienware offers it and i'm sure others do

The Sony Ericsson play does NOT run playstation 2 games... Another wrong fact. Fail again

The problem is most probably due to the fact that your BIOS is set to use the HD in AHCI mode. XP doesnt support it without using the F6 option when installing and to have the correct drivers on floppy. Option A: Change the BIOS setting Option B: make the floppy disk with the correct drivers...
