"Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz"

What's your temp running 3.6 ... I'm up to 3.07 and it usually runs around 50 C.

Doc,

Would you say this looks right for my laptop?

May I ask you how SL works on your system?

It should be pretty fast and stable with such processor and 6GB DDRIII RAM.

I'm planning to buy similar machine.

Have you tried Win7 x64?

Well it looks OK but then I don't know what your real system is.

Model/Motherboard will report Apple info
Processor id should report your 'real' processor
Processor Frequency should report your overclock speed.

Don't know who your speaking to but I'll reply ....

My i7 920 build runs Geekbench score is 10800 at 3.3 GHz.

My E8400 build runs Geedkbench score of 5800 at 3.72 GHz.

I like it but it was a lot harder to set up for both Leo and SL. The P5Q is much more Mac friendly.

Now that it is set up it seems to run OK in 32 bit; no 64 bit ethernet kext ..... but I'm OK with that.

I haven't loaded Win 7 x64 but x32 runs fast and problem free. It setup automatically with default drivers.

Doc, my system is in my signature! :p

What I meant was ... I don't know if Geekbench is 'lying' 'cause I don't know if what it is reporting is a true reflection of your system.

For example .... my 920 is 2.67 GHz but O/C to 3.33 GHz. Geekbench reports the OEM chip under Processor ID and 3.33 under Processor Freq which is exactly the same as the BIOS.

It looks like it's reporting the specs you have in your sig.
