Fanra, my laptop is older, but has been upgrading along the years. It started as an Asus G51vx-rx05, but now sits with 8gbs ram, a t9600, and a 120gb SSD. It SHOULD have run EQ faster than it did prior to the patch, but it actually ran slower after I switched processors. At any rate, I am glad they pushed for the change, it has really made a noticeable difference.
