    hi guys, this is my first post, ive been lurking over in the alienware 14x forums, and i dont like what im hearing, especially about heat issues, so after 8hrs research yesterday....i found the superb looking gx660r-474uk (im in uk). i was looking at the i7 processor, but its 200 pounds more. is the i5 460m (2.53mhz) processor much different in performance to the 1.73mhz i7 version?

    im going into hospital in 5 weeks for bowel surgery and i cant have no laptop, ill go crazy, i got my films ripped on hd so lack of bluray doesnt bother me, will this i5 run fable 3, gta 4 etc as my old m11x r1 struggled badly with that type of game. i know its a laptop and as long as BC2 black ops on high run good that'll do me, im not one for aax8 1080p etc, thats what my xbox is for.


    any info is appreciated guys, sorry if this has been asked before i did search and couldnt find an answer. thanks for your time.

    You will notice no difference between i7 and i5 in games. And yes, GX660 with i5 will be able to run fable 3 and GTA 4.
