A few questions:
Hard drive space and rpm?
What kind of Ram?
And how long have you had it? |

Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT (DX11 ready)

You owe me 10k won for the lunch I just spit up to laugh mightily at this part of your post.
The 8600 is how many years old? 3? 4? And DX11 only works in W7, not Vista, so I seriously doubt that you could get DX11 on this laptop.
Other than that, specs look decent enough. |

It is a 3 year old card by release date.
Since windows 7 is not installed, it is DX 11 ready and capable, i didnt say that it was currently using it. Not that it matters now anyway.
I do not own a legit copy of Windows 7, hence the reason why Vista was installed. The card is perfectly capable of using DX 11 and preforms better than new low end cards.
Go troll elsewhere. |

Sorry, but a 3-year old card is NOT capable of rendering DX11 graphics. The GT8600 is a DX10-capable card. And yes, an 8600 will perform better than todays absolute bottom of the barrel $25 cards, but is blown away by anything more capable.
I don't understand how you could think a 3-year old card (at least) is capable to render the newest (late last year) graphics standards. Care to elaborate?
And besides, I did say that the rest of the specs look good. You were simply mistaken in your post about the graphics capabilities and I wanted to point it out. No trolling. |

| dx11 will only run on dx11 cards. For geforce that would be the GTX400 and 500 series. |

This is only partially correct.
Everyone in this thread is a little wrong. I don't want this to get too off topic but The Directx 11 API can run on DX 10 hardware.

"The good news:
DirectX 11 will be available on both Vista and Windows7. It is good to hear DirectX 11 will not be limited to Windows 7.
The better news:
DirectX 11 will have better compatibility with DirectX 10 hardware than most expected. What does that mean? Yes, there is some confusion over the "11 running on 10 hw" part of the announcement.
There are parts of the new API that are hardware independent, those can indeed run downlevel. The mult-threaded resource handling, for instance, can be enabled to run on DirectX 10 class hardware if the IHVs ( ATI, Intel, nVidia ) update their DirectX 10 drivers. Think of that part of it as "11 on 10".
Then there are parts of the new API that do require new hardware support and will only run on DX11 class hardware. The hardware tesselator and Shader Model 5.0 are examples of those parts."
The 8600gt supports parts of the DX11 API. It doesn't support all features of it. Just as some "Windows Vista Ready" Computers can run vista but couldn't run aero, The OP's computer can run some DX11 features but not all. There isn't much to argue about. He never claimed it was DX11 hardware. It is still technically "DX11 ready". Good Luck with your sale OP. |

Isn't this the same laptop you've been trying to sell for the last 6 months or so? In the last post the price was 550,000 and now it's 700,000.
You'd probably have more luck if you lowered the price instead of raising it . 
..Just sayin'. |

YOU CANNOT ACTIVATE DX11 ON DX10 CARDS.
This computer is funny. |

I thought it was just deja vu, but I guess it wasn't. LOL @ increasing the price. |
