Battlefield 3 upgrade is in full effect.  Just ordered 2 6970s for CrossfireX and 3 24" monitors.  Going with the Eyefinity setup.  I'll post pics when the parts get here.  They should arrive on Friday.

so i recently ordered a hp envy 14 on May and it is already running really slow. to the point where i cant watch internet videos unless i plug it in to my charger. i checked the battery settings and they are set on high performance or whatever but my computer is still running really slow.i wanted to take good care of my laptop so i even bought a separate external hard rive for all my music and videos and i dnt ever play any games on it. the only thing i could think of that might be making it run slow is the fact that i normally dnt turn off my laptop i just close the lid and but it to sleep or hibernate or whatever, u think this might be the problem? i know this shouldnt be happening as it is only a few months old so is there anything i could to to make it run faster or at full speed like i did when i first got it without having to erase all my memory and stuff? i dnt really know much about pc's as this is my first laptop so any help would be greatly appreciated. PM or post on here if you have any suggestions. Thanks alot NT!

download pcdecrapifier, get rid of any useless programs you don't use
type msconfig in the start menu, click startup and stop any programs you don't need from starting up when your pc boots up.

Them 5400 rpm AP-31s are loud! But not as loud as I've seen in YouTube vids. Must've had the volume cranked up a bit.

^ There are performance improvements for other games as well, that are mentioned in the "Release Highlights" tab. So I guess it's worth a shot? The GTX 570 is on the list of supported GPUs.
Performance benchmarks:

I just hope the driver squeezes every ounce of performance for my GTX 560 Ti.
