I think I know a few limitations already.. Please help me get them clarified..
- No overclocking options for CPU ? Yes. No OC. But even w/o OC SB has plenty of potential.
- No HDMI port on monitor, so full HD isnt possible.. ? Nope. HDMI and FullHD are non-related. There are loads of full HD monitor w/o HDMI port
- Most Games would play alright on lower resolutions, but on HD config, it wouldnt be great.. ? Not really. I am sure it would be a great improvement considering you were using 3 years old laptop h/w till now. The HD5770 will play most games @1600*900 with medium to high settings and most games @ FHD with low-medium settings.
- How would it perform on multi threaded operations like video encoding? The i5 2400 would just blaze away
