Sorry to interrupt here, a fren of mine who is a CS owner, her lappy juz kaput (can turn on) after 2 weeks expiry of the warranty period, anyway can she ask for assist?

I heard SONY offer 3months extended warranty for CS owner, is that true?

She been sent in her lappy in the past 1 yr for more than 3 times, and her lappy still not running in proper condition.

Appreciate the helps~

hi there, try to contact sony and ask about it. The 3 months extended warranty is only valid if you register your sony product within 7 days from the day you purchase. Just try to call them or go to sony service center and tell them your situation, i assume her laptop cant turn on? if it is motherboard kaput, try and use the fan issue to make an argument.

Maybe u're right.

I will inform her this way =)

U're CS user too ya, I remember...

owh me? im sorry.. it just the 4570 is begging for some action brows.gif

install some mmorpg, the vga is overkill , maybe a 4500 is sufficient enuf lol

try to get some latest demo. n my gf already beging me to install sims 3, which i wont, or she will be flocking all over ma sr55 wub.gif

My FW with 4570HD is working perfect with latest game Dragon Age with highest detail, working fine with no lagging.
But loading the detailed graphic takes a little longer time than usual (note that my HDD is 7200 rpm already).

While I set mine as "Do nothing" when I close the lid.

Coz all the function like hibernate, sleep, or shut down I do have short cut keys already.
Very convenience.

And FW is so big, it's more convenience to move around the unit with power on with the lit off.

Guys... A lil' update from the gamers side...

I've installed latest game [Mass Effect 2] (Xbox has this too).

Played at highest graphics detail, no lag no prob at all with my FW590!

Which running on P7450, HD4650 512Mb, 2Gb RAM (+2Gb memory boost from SD card), 7200 rpm HDD.

I used to played on 2Gb RAM only, all ran pretty smooth, but when I insert another 2GB on memory boost from a SD card, I noticed that the loading of the game is significantly fast a lot!


A muz for MASS EFFECT 2. Very life-like game to play with! HD graphic quality!

GPU? U dissembled the laptop to identified that is the location?

Commonly known as fan noise.. A very famous + common defect for CS series.

Other sifu will elaborate u more.

Or u search for CS prob here, u'll see plenty of them.

so what can i do about those noises?


Added on February 25, 2010, 7:10 pmso many pages how to search lol

Hmm... The place where the HDD located oso kinda hot too.

Other than that, CPU, GPU, RAM oso heats up too...

Hahaah!

But those sifu already told u what u should do.

Best of luck!

what OS do u use is it the same like Vista's memory boost? coz im on windows 7 n would like to try this

yep  MASS EFFECT 2 is a nice graphical games, i enjoice it very much on me desktop pc, wondering can HD4570 handle it? hmm.gif

EDIT : found about it me self laugh.gif

For a device to be compatible and useful it must conform to these requirements:

    * The removable media's capacity must be at least 256 MB (250 MB after formatting). Windows Vista x86 & x64 is limited to using 4 GB; this restriction has been removed in Windows 7.
    * Windows 7 allows up to eight devices for a maximum of 256 GB of additional memory. [5]
    * The device must have an access time of 1 ms or less.
    * The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s read speeds for 4 KB random reads spread uniformly across the entire device, and 1.75 MB/s write speeds for 512 KB random writes spread uniformly across the device.

btw, DalphinusS, what kinda SD card do u use?
*
I'm using a regular micro SD inserted to a SD adapter. It's so cool, having no popping out object like a USB pendrive at the side. I put the SD card in the slot all the time, that include carrying out.

I tried a HC micro SD card of 8Gb, but Win7 took quite a long time to "config" the SD card, which I had to abort it. But it allows me to utilize only 4Gb out of it when I was trying to do it.

I think HD4570 can manage it... 512Mb right? U should try it. I now completed the 1st time with polite male Shepard, now continue to try female Shepard, rude Shepard I mean tongue.gif

erm not fps, its survival horror 3rd person shooter.

as for pc, its known as Resident Evil 5, but the alternative edition includes expansion which are additional another 2 mission, Desperate Escape and Lost in Nightmare, costumes, Mercenaries Reunion Mode, and Versus Mode and other goodies.

n i learn also its not all about storage space its about speed too.. so the faster the sdhc spec, the better!
congrat! i think all lappy battery oso got "lock" maybe should unlock 1st ? check the manual oso..

Juz curious & wishing to find out...

Even if we're using HC SD card, or high speed pendrive for memory boost, but how is the performance compare to our very genuine DDR2 1000Mhz there?

I mean comparing adding a 4Gb HC SD card, to 4Gb high speed pendrive, to 4Gb DDR2 RAM?

Any facts & sheets?

Its not really to replace the RAM. But even if you have big RAM, you would still need to have pagefile, which reside on the hdd. Its this that being moved to the SD card, dedicated for the pagefile only...
This would give better response as the pagefile doesn't need to compete with other hdd activity... Though it still depends on the SD card speed...
*
Meaning?

Lemme recap...

icon_rolleyes.gif Memory boost (SD or USB pendrive) not meant to replace RAM... OK!

icon_rolleyes.gif Pagefile isn't with RAM, but it's with HDD... OK!

icon_rolleyes.gif With memory boost (SD or USB pendrive), the pagefile is being replaced by them, instead of using one with HDD... OK!


cool2.gif Conclusion: Pagefile not perform by RAM... Then what use is the RAM for then? I tot RAM is for this purpose??

doh.gif Curious: Getting a better RAM alone won't help on the pagefile, but a better HDD or better memory boost does?

Virtual Memory is made of RAM + pagefile (HDD)
Pagefile is not RAM, its just a portion of hdd being used as RAM and they will swap content from time to time with RAM.
The one that making the lag is when swapping the content from pagefile to RAM, due to the slow hdd + hdd always being used for other activity, in this case, memory boost dedicated a thumbdrive/SD card to do that job, hence they should give better performance than a busy hdd in handling the swapping of the pagefile because the thumbdrive/SD card just need to take care one job(pagefile).

More ram is better, but still, there are some application insist on using pagefile even if you have a lot of ram left.
*
Wow this seems something very knowledgeable to me. rclxms.gif
Do u mind elaborating more on what needs the pagefile, what needs the RAM, what need the VRAM for us?

Like, computer graphics, compiling video/music, installing a program, running on photoshop, or etc u think is applicable?

I need to know more b4 I know how to apply in real. icon_question.gif

As explained before, Virtual Memory is RAM + Pagefile..
Which on the attachment, its the max size for PF Usage or you can see on the Commit Charge 2598M/3412M
That's coming from 3GB RAM + 512MB pagefile = 3412MB Virtual Memory (3GB is roughly around 29xxMB)
[attachmentid=1465966]

As for what the need of those, basically its RAM, just that one is slower and one is much faster.
And how it will be applicable, that's being handled by the OS or by the programmer, we the user, pretty much can't do anything with it.

Thanks for showing me again.

Hmm... So 3Gb + 512Mb u get the total of the commit charges.

What about those we set aside in HDD in HDD properties? Windows put another 1Gb approx there reserved for this purpose too right?
Why it din appear in ur Window?
Oops... the 512Mb is from ur HDD allocation?

Another thing is, I can't get this info with Win7 version... Right click taskbar, goto properties can't get this info even I'm in MEMORY tab now.

The one being set aside in HDD is what being called as pagefile...
In this case, I reduced it to 512MB only...

As for Windows 7, not really familiar with it, even on the Task Manager, Performance tab, not showing about PF Usage?
or you check from dxdiag, add the number on Pagefile
VMemory = Used + Available
*
I not sure...
I saw Physical Memory available: 2045 MB

System: Commit usage: 2489/4090 Mb

But the memory usage bar there indicate 1.70Gb used.

Where my current hardware is 2Gb DDR2 + 2Gb memory boost (1.83Gb effective).

None of the figure displayed there tally to one & another...

well. ure question is itself , a self explanatory answer! laugh.gif basically its a overclock function to let ur cpu run at higher clock. and what we got at higher clock cpu speed? well i dont think ure need an answer for that very basic computing question smile.gif

do tell us tho, if u use the turbo boost function, how fast will it eat the battery?  i havent got a clue.

lee_what2004, what are u running when u take that screenis? 100% cpu with over 2gb commit charge?! sweat.gif
*
i3, i5, i7 still using overclock to achieve that?

I tot it's like quad-core, with partial running like duo-core at nominal, & full use of quad-core when at high speed??

Juz my guessing...

Means the i7 will compromise the multi-tasking capability of 4cores to be 1core to achieve the high processor speed?

But come to think about it, isn't that 1.6Ghz for each core in 4cores able to do more than juz 1 mere 2.8Ghz?

I dun mean to simply juz sum up 1.6Ghz + 1.6Ghz + 1.6Ghz etc... to achieve 6.4Ghz, and I know it dun work that way.

But aren't 4 cores of 1.6Ghz can do far more than juz 1 2.8Ghz?

Imagine 4 ppl with moderate working speed VERSUS 1 ppl of fast working speed.

Pls enlighten me~~~ HELP!

Well, it mostly depends on your application whether he can utilize the extra cores or not.
The main thing is optimization, the same thing with HyperThreading which also introduced in the Core i-series.

As for
Imagine 4 ppl with moderate working speed VERSUS 1 ppl of fast working speed.
Yes, its feasible, if only the working can be done parallel, if not? They would be waiting one of them to finish first and let the next person to continue it.

Well, this is assuming discussing 4 persons vs 1 person doing 1 job at one time(since this is how computer works). If you meant 4 persons vs 1 person doing a lot of different jobs, then yes, you are right.

Since the Turbo Boost works depending on the applications. If it support 4 cores, then it run at 1.6ghz, if only support 2 cores, then it runs at 2.6Ghz and so on...
*
Hahaah my bad my bad.
As soon as I clicked [sent] earlier, I tot of " if only the working can be done parallel, if not? They would be waiting one of them to finish first and let the next person to continue it".

But u showed me that in computer world, that task is exist & it's call threads... Recall something what I studied back in college time.

Been away from computer line too long. What I learnt, dun apply on my career now wink.gif

Thank!!! thumbup.gif
