[QUOTE="unholymight"][QUOTE="smc91352"] It has L3 cache that makes up for it. What's better than a 1366 i7? 640GB isn't small. 7200 rpm is not bad.smc91352
Well if it was bigger they wouldn't need something to make up for the lack of L cache in the first place! 640 GB, let's see, my Naruto episodes and movies are 80 GB. That plus 35 modern games + 1 OS + some very nice eBooks and you're full. Time to reformat! An i7 975 is already 25% faster than what he has just in pure clock speed, without taking into account L cache expansions. 7200 rpm if you don't mind waiting for file operations. but I didn't see where it said criticism was open. And all that is relative. I'm judging on the $100 he paid; its not what I would've gotten, but its not bad.
Well, he probably posted it on here cause he wanted some opinions.

I'd say HDD size depends largely on the user. I'm doing fine with 320GB internal and 1TB external. Correct, but 640 GB is nothing that lets me wear the proud badge of pride. Also, higher resolution video and bigger games will only cause 640 GB to become an ever-shrinking jacket.
[QUOTE="smc91352"][QUOTE="unholymight"]1 MB L2 cache is somewhat low, would obviously have liked more for a quad core 640 GB HD is pretty small 7200 rpm is not that great It has L3 cache that makes up for it.

1066 MHz for memory is a tad low 1 MB L2 cache is somewhat low, would obviously have liked more for a quad core 640 GB HD is pretty small 7200 rpm is not that great 1 USB?? Just 1??
