No he means ram timings.

Understanding RAM Timings | Hardware Secrets <= This to be precise.

The vengeance memory kit I use has ram timings of 9-9-9-24.

One Question ... Does the 15R SE comes with siwtchable graphics?. Heard that the new laptop models have switchable graphics same as desktops ?..
ANy other new models we can expect with 3rd gen processor and switchable graphics?

@rider No point in changing stuff when they are working fine. Different ram kits have different ram timings thats all.

@Sysley
Average of 19 fps, doesn't that mean the game-play wasn't smooth?

ya i wasnt smooth that's why had to change settings from very high to medium to play game and fps changed to 32.......i posted this result bcoz some guys here want max settings(like texture,anti-aliasing etc) results

It's surprising to see that your vaio runs that much, 5 years :razz:
many of my friends who owns vaio remain fed up with sony, they faced so much hardware problems, like touchpad stopped working properly is the most common problem and after sales is very very expensive.
Get Dell Inspiron 15R SE, thumbs up from me!

Good to see it even runs 19 fps in all ultra setting :shock:
you should run in high instead of very high and fxaa, mxaa in 4x.

@sisley Thanks for that mate.. You've really done a wonderful job helping out the others. For now I have also postponed my purchase of 15r SE. Planning to buy it at July end, with increased budget to 60K. Hopefully it will be around for that long *fingers crossed*...

Not exacty five years..almost there 4.7 years :p

Well.. I din't face much problems with touchpad or anything else apart from the optical drive..The optical drive started to give some problems only lately.. I mean fail to write discs ..but it reads well.. I beleive this issue will be most common in most of the lappies after a long time.

And yeah I agree after sales is Expensive ...

How about Dell after sales ?.. I believe Dell ought to be durable since they supply most of business machines.. Heating problems on Dell ?

Good for you, you laptop work fine.
Dell after sales is as gr8, same is of hp now. Now Dell/hp products comes with damage warranty. Heating issue of XPS 15 can not be seen in this Inspiron 15R SE, its coolest core-i7 ever. Check previous posts of sisley who owned it.

I have been secretly monitoring these threads for a long time now :p, I will surely ask for all your opinions before making any decisions.

It could be my superstition, but I had an impression that the build quality and performance of HP is bad.
I have a lot of friends with HP laptops, and most of them have heating issues while some others complaint about bad support and made me pretty skeptical about their performance. Maybe you guys can shed some lights on that.

I will be ordering the laptop on 31st july, as soon as I hear those three magical words "Salary is Credited" :D
