    I have an Alienware M11x R2 i7s that I overclock, and when I watch 720p HiDef movies in Media player my CPU stays at 8-15%. I also have an older laptop that has a Core2 1.6Ghz, and when I play the same media file it uses 70% or more CPU. Same codec and player on each. Also, I am using the intel card to play the media, not the 335.

    Is the i7 that much better?
