Just a quick question here. Is the HD3450 capable of playing The Last Remnant and Mass Effect? Just thought I'd ask before keying in my order

how to use and enabling dual channel feature in this laptop CQ40-40 AU..
i install 2 ram with same type chip but difference serial number and production date, that eefeect in dual channel??
or this laptop can't support dual channel ability???

please tell me.its urgent..

Yes at avg 9 fps.

games i played dy on my 133ax:

1.Mass effect
2.dead space
3.Mirrors edge
4.Race driver grid
5. Farcry 2
6.Fallout 3
7.COD: World at war
8.COD Modern Warfare

There is no need to enable it. It is automatically enabled. AMD Overdrive and CPUID cant report it. Not sure why but maybe because HP's OEM Keyboard. If you use any memory bandwith test software, you will notice some performance increase when using two sticks. Its minimal though, and wont be noticable in real world.


Pls make sure both sticks are DDR2 800. If either one is DDR2 667, both sticks will run in the lowest speed. The bundled RAM is DDR2 667 so even you add another DDR2 800, both will run at DDR2 667.

If you are willing to sacrifice some quality, should be ok. Eg, run at 800x600 and lowest graphic settings.

It will be enabled automatically if the size and the speed of the RAM is the same regardless of manufacturer, serial and production date. Eg, 2 sticks of DDR2 667 1GB or 2 sticks of DDR2 800 2GB. In boards nowdays are not so fussy with RAM compatibility. As I have mentioned before, the difference between single and dual channel is minimal.

Yup. finish both just last week . Mass effect is cool but last remnant kinda get stale after the first 40 hours.
Don't listen to the never-do-it, never-had-it naysayers.
Listen to those who just done it
Applied on every life subjects. (including ***)

Last remnant: med
mass effect: default setting
model : 401 AX

Anyone here used ubuntu 9.04 on their cq40? cause I need some help ==
there's no sound from my speaker and the card reader doesn't work in ubuntu? I tried doing the things mentioned here == it says use "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" but I changed it to snd-hda-ati since I'm using AMD. But still there's no sound...
Any idea I can get this 2 things work?

Thanks in advance!

shady .both stick are ddr 800

I have not tried the latest ubuntu but with ubuntu 8.10, i have no problems with sound. Not sure about card reader though.


that is weird. which cq40 you are using? Mine is running at DDR2 800. Checked through Everest.

Thx man, I'm a huge RPG fan and I've heard good things about them both.

I think maybe because you are using different RAM and they have different timings for DDR2 800. AMD motherboard is quite picky n dual cahannel mode.

Guys , anyone know which laptop cooler is suitable for CQ40-133AX?
my temperature up to 83'c on load.

Coolermaster notepal, what's else

mine when gaming can shoot up until 9x celcius

using cheapo cooler ..waiting my coolermaster infinite to reach ^^

hi guys, just to know about the compaq presario notebook that i've seen during my visit to berjaya times square with my sister last friday. i've just check it out that the compaq presario notebook that i've seen before is using the amd athlon 64 x2 processor, but i can't remember what model of this notebook using that processor. can i know what the model is it? and where i can find this notebook? is still available yet in malaysia or already sold out?

p/s: just find out there is compaq presario notebook with amd athlon processor @ digital square in berjaya times square.

oh no... my mistake

i can only find CQ40 with AMD Turion X2 Dual Core
