WHY 900p?!? With Bluray?!?

 

[wooj]

its still 16x9 and at 17 inches i dont think you will notice the difference in pixel pitch.

 

[okashira]

Heck yes I would. Oh well. Everything else looks great.

Looks like this processor is the only i5 sandy-bridge that doesn't support hardware aes or virtualization.. DAMN, i would have bought it too

How does the GT540M compare to the ATI Radeon 6770M on the HPs pavillion dv6t/dv7t?

How does the GT540M compare to the ATI Radeon 6770M on the HPs pavillion dv6t/dv7t?

6770m is slightly faster than a 555m. So, it'll be ridiculously faster than the 540m as well.
