    New comp

    Hey gang! Finally got a new laptop (daughter broke the other one) to go with my older desktop. This thing is a beast!

    Alienware M17x
    Alienware! I own it and hardly believe it, lol.

    Intel 3rd gen i7-3740mq processor currently at 2.7 gh.
    Nvidia GTX 675m with 2g gddr5 ram
    16gigs pc1600 ram
    1T hd space (couldn't afford ssd)

    The system has not been tweaked at all, and can go to 3.7gh.

    Still working on getting all my projects loaded.

    Exciting! Not many better feelings than getting a new computer. I plan on building a new PC after Haswell is released in June.

    Sweet! Break it in, on Einstein. Run at least 2 GPU tasks at a time.

    That's an awesome laptop! I agree with the guys - please break it in the next few days running Einstein on that nice GPU for the team Pentathlon effort!

    It's on Einstein now. Is the gpu setting in configuration? I'll pause my other tasks and let it run full bore on Einstein.
