ooooo ok thanks
but i tested with cpu z also show ati 3200...memang macam ni ke, with 256 dedicated, not integrated

sori, bcoz i'm not expert in computer
i suspect it should be the gpu driver problem
but if u're using vista and using the asus driver provided in the cd u should not be facing this problem
and well its a hybrid gpu meaning it can switch between 3200 and 4570 depending on settings
or there should be a way to use only 4570 i hope sifus out there can enlighten us

I bought ASUS K40AB two days ago and install Windows 7 on it, everything is great but two problem, the CPU temperature is unbelivably high (hovering around 60-70 when idle) and PowerXpress is sketchy (maybe because Windows 7) as it keeps telling me that the HD 4570 cannot start in device manager, I forced it to use only discrete GPU in BIOS, it free up 256MB of RAM, problem solved.
About the high CPU temperature, I removed the back cover and run it directly to the cooler below, pretty odd as ASUS doesn't provide any ventilation hole directly on the CPU/GPU fan. Before this, it crashed after playing CnC Kane's Wrath for about 30 minutes, now its perfectly fine, after finishing CnC3 KW, I play CoD2 for a while with no problem at all. Thank God for the back cover opens up to the whole mobo, so I can cool everything down. Temperature is kept under 60 on idle (its around 56 as I typing this, on a hot room with no fan or AC)
Game performance is great too, more than I expected it to be, my cousin have BenQ S41, it struggle to play CnC3 KW even at low setting and low res, but this one, I can play at 1366x768 with High detail. CoD2 also excellent, 1366x768 High detail
wow u to opened up the back cover
but getting 56oC after gaming is cool......
btw any other ways to cool it down without opening up the cover?
