No no no.
Your logic is so far off.
Go look at HDD tests of 7200 RPM drives on other notebooks........ Yes they are faster Yes they work Yes buy one if you like.
SSD is better. -
Also SSD is good i know but still way too expensive for my liking. -
I recently managed to kill my 6555 =( stuck it on ebay and it went for a pathetic £170! Ashame, great laptop sad to see it go.
-
What?? why, and why so cheap! what went wrong?

I have Advent 7555 and yesterday i bought Qx9200 130£ and 8gb ddr2 pc6400 90£ so it will be upgraded check up the temps of my 7555
HDD 7200 temp never more than 30C even when loaded 100%
CPU idle 30C to 40C when loaded 100% the temp never more than 60C
GPU idle 40C to 45C when loaded max 60C
own this laptop for the last two years replaced screen to 1900x1200 and once ram was replaced and hdd from 5400 to 7200

Nitro, How can you get 7.4 point for the quad? I'm using your settings and I just get 7.3. Also my VGA score is lower...
-
well you have got rubbish graphic card score only 6.8 -
-
My vga runs at GTS speeds through bios mod, dunno if it makes a difference though
-
I never get it to 3.2GHz. Maybe 3.06 but then BSOD...
-
Anyone running this on Win 7 64-bit?
If so were you able to find all the drivers and where from? -
anyone who own Advent 6555 7555 8555 did you know that if you replace the cpu to Q9200 you will be able to overclock the cpu from under windows with one click at the same moment change Bios CPU ratio to 12, 3.2Ghz and your CPUMark will score at 5300 ? LOL
there is something very special about advent 7555 or rather original Bios why? well it doesnt have turbo button like gt725 but the turbo work in someway with the bios and cuz of that if you use TS setting ratio to any and close TS. and restart Laptop CPU speed in Bios will change to 3.2Ghz ratio 12. and will stay like this up till you shut down laptop or you will reset bios.
no one would believe it would be possible to change Bios settings from under windows LOL -
Thanks for the reply.

Now i need to know the best Hard drive to put in it (Not ssd though too expensive for me at the moment).
Looking for at least 320gb -
Look at my sign. The best non SSD.
-
Seagate Momentus XT is best hard drive 500gb cost about 80$ to 100$
-
320GB WDScorpioBlack 7200RPM
I have read a lot of reviews about these being noisy. Is it true? -
Just when it spins at max speed. Normally I don't hear it, because the loud fan of my notebook.
@andy.lowel: Momentus XT is a Hybrid drive, HDD-SSD -
Would this be suitable in this 6555? -
It works in any Notebook.
-
-
Decided to go for the Scorpio Black 750gb. Will be installing Win 7 on it, just wondering what is the best option for partitioning it for use in this laptop?
-
One for the OS and the other for your stuff.
-
What sort of size should i use for win 7 os?
-
I think 50GB will be enough.
-
Thanks Kirrr.
Should i install all games to the d drive and not the c? -
how much did you pay for your scorpio black 750gb ?
did you know that Momentus XT is faster than 10k RPM ?
if the price wasnt much different between XT and Scorpio you should go for XT -
-
-
Just installed my new drive and installed win 7 on it. For some reason the osd is not showing. Anyone know how i get this to work?
-
-
Also need to know which are the best stable video drivers? -

Can anyone tell me if the esata port is just a standard port or if it is power over esata (esata-p)?
Anyone actually used this port? -
Can anyone help me with this question?
-
Its a combined esata/usb 2 port, it does not provide power over the esata cable.
-
Ok thanks for that info. I read so many posts on different sites about identifying the port by it's shape indicating that it was esata-p. Glad you cleared it up for me.
-
Going back to my latest question about the esata port. Is there anyone out there that has an esatap drive that could try it in this port with esatap cable just to confirm? I am wanting to buy a hdd enclosure for my spare 2.5" drive and don't know whether to buy esata or not.
