wow theres a version 3 d nice....

Sometimes feel like asking mod to give him vacation..always kacau for nothin..give wrong comment or never even researched

K40Ab - Athlon x2 QL64 (2.0GHz, 512MB x2 L2, 1000MHz HT)
F81Se - Core 2 Duo T6600 (2.4GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB) and Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB)

raw performance wise, we are looking at quite a big difference...

disregarding the clock, there's still quite a big gap in performance between AMD and Intel CPU... AMD's K8 architecture is clock dependent, while cache and HT do not give a big boost to performance, as oppose to Intel where clock, cache and FSB all play a part in performance... however, computers with AMD CPU are pretty responsive, thx to the integrated memory controller in the CPU which give lower latency and higher bandwidth compared to Intel...

end of the day, if u want raw performance, Intel is the way to go... i highly suggest F81Se if ur budget permits...

Boss, typo lar...512kbX2 i don't mind having 512mb l2 cache but weird thing is...running certain applications on my laptop seems faster compare to my desktop

N51Vn will be N50Vn replacement? Just googled around.. it has GeForce GT 240M.. that would be expensive.. lol

oops... pai seh too tired... today walked too much... must be...

well, it depends on wat u re using the laptop for... usually we tend to do lighter stuff on a laptop as we think heavy work should be left for desktops instead...

lol,no lar..some normal application...it's faster on laptop for some reason ;D...loads faster xD...

im going to send my F8SG for a repair somewhere next week. which one do u guys prefer, SC in time square or PJ? anywhere else i dont know located around shah alam/PJ ?

imbi u mean? so far only went to the Imbi 1 :/

yea...it is located inside berjaya time square rite? how is it? ok?
wana repair my screen n if i hv more money wana change casing if that's possible. (posted this problem ages ago, but it seems not that bad UNTIL last week )

So it is out. N50Vn officially phased out in Malaysia. =/ This is just so bad timing for me.

Can anyone (qualified enough) suggest me an ASUS Malaysia alternative to N50Vn. I don't exactly need an exact spec-to-spec comparison, but assuming if we were to use ATI GC, which would be comparable to that of Nvidia 9650M GT?

Thank you all.

~Cheers!

P.S. I just so regret choosing this laptop at the time it is being phased out. So sad.

try F81Se instead.. that should be the closest...

else it will be N51Vf instead...

Looks like that will be the case. =/

N51Vf somehow is too pricey for my budget of RM4K and below (RM 300+-)

astria, any advice on how to choose Mobile GC between ATI and Nvidia? (At least choosing Procs seems to be easier for me. =/)

~Cheers!

Noob question here ... can i change my ram from ddr2 to ddr3 ?

thanks in advance

-/Abid.

I don't think you can. The RAM slots should be having different notch position.

~Cheers!

oh ok .. u mean the physical size also different ..?

I can't say for sure as I haven't handled DDR3 RAMs before, but considering there is major architecture differences, I don't think it is even possible to put a DDR3 RAM in a DDR2 Slot.

~Cheers!

ok ... thanks again

Bro, so far, do not have any replacement for N50VN.
Recently, all new model would be T6500 or AMD processor laptops.
There would be P8700 laptop coming out with good graphic.
Around Mid of July according to Asus Supplier.

Lol, moyong page 4 only join us

True, even Astria also agreed about it.

I can't tell you whether N51Vn will be a replacement model for N50VN since Asus side haven't confirm whether they will bring in that particular model or not.


Lol, yea, lots of new laptops coming out on coming pc fair.
I will announce it here once i get hold of the exact info about pc fair ^^

I will suggest Imbi Asus Royal Club. Since it's the head of all service centre.

Which model bro ? Still covered under warranty.
Better call them and ask them to prepare the parts before you go there ya. Otherwise, it might takes longer time


As what Astria mentioned, F81SE P8600 would be the best so far in ATI GC laptop.

No, you can't bro.
Your laptop mobo DDR2 platform is totally different with DDR3 platform.
So, you can't even slot in DDR3 RAM into DDR2 platform.
