i tot buy laptop free Lamborghini

gratz on having such powerful desktop for 2k... but for 2k-3k lappy i dun think you can hav such spec maybe a p8600 and 4GB DDR2 will be good

Might be something wrong with your wifi, I got no prob with my wifi and I've been using my wifi for all kind of downloads, torrent and online gaming. Not even once I experience wifi DC unless reboot the router or blackout

At campus I get up to 500KBps of downloading speed, maximum bandwidth I get on LAN can reach 2.8MBps

Added on November 9, 2009, 2:33 pmabout the IPv6 limited connectivity.. don't worry cuz not much network implement IPv6 yet. You can ignore it unless your school got IPv6.

If you are connected to the network, see whether your signal strength is weak?

You saying about connecting to network is slow. That one depends much on the AP you are connecting to. At school there are a lot of people trying to connect to same network, so its normal if you experience delay when trying to get authenticate by the network.

At home of course will be faster (depends on the type of wireless security you employ on your network as well) cause not much host trying to get authenticate with your AP.


Most probably they are have DHCP enable and it has short expiry time, so will get this problem.

yea, im using n50vn as well...so far not a single problem with my internet at all... the network setting? I will be using different one at different place. But I always fix my DNS to open DNS.

you say even ur phone connect faster, its probably vista prob. When you at campus area where you have multiple AP, your comp will somehow connect to many of them, so when one down, you will be connected as well. Same thing happen to me when I was using Vista and surfing in campus.

Try maximize your wifi power. Enable max throughput. (for your info, 54Mbps does means you are really connected at 54Mbps, the throughput of your WLAN will be lower no matter how. If im not mistaken 802.11a throughput is lowest, I cant remember liao). If still kenot, send to asus service center bah, tell them ur prob.

usually they dun giv you HDMI cables de.. you check your manual, they will tell you

i dun think so there is any recovery CD

for some game that dun support widescreen, they will be display in their native 4:3 resolution. I dun think it has anything to do with gc driver cuz I'm using NVidia and having the same prob in Maple ;D. I think this is because Microsoft want dont want those games to be stretch in full screen. If your game is can support widescreen resolution, den shud be no prob..

only if your vista is 64 else they wont give u 64bit..

I'm using 64bit win7 tho...

P8600 also kenot satisfy my need ler... i using win7 ultimate 64bit too, better than my original vista 32bit, faster.

For that 500 i think definitely worth every single cent. somemore 500G HDD...

wah, gratz... post benchmark here when u free... XD

LOL, i nvr hear that also. I got my lappy from Evernew. That time see their booth so big with ASUS banner big big... So I tot best to buy frm them, LOL

actually, hinge prob not only asus will have. It depends on how frequent you open close your lid and how you handle the lid as well. There is no such thing as very common. Plastic casing what you expect? Even door will have such problem if you don't handle it properly

i had that prob with win vista also, most prob is some of the updates or so. After I reformat into win7 no more such prob.

bottom line is vista sux... try do recovery. I also quite sienz with it. But I'm free from this prob ady. Win7 rox!

I think its because of the blotware, the so call factory default thingy. Try update your bios, update your windows and see if still got such prob. b4 i got win7 what i did was, I use the recovery CD to recover back everything, REMOVE norton and disable stuffs that I dun nid. Most important, try to keep up to date with the drivers and bios.

My lappy around 6 months now, no probs since I did recovery. After using win7 even better, its blazing fast ;P

yea, recovery...

yea, exact same problem... light still on, even tho the screen is off, if im not mistaken its something to do with windows security logon thingy, very stupid one

yea you need to backup, its equivalent to reformat, the only difference is, it will preinstall every driver for u including software such as antivirus and some other blotwares... XD

lol, yea... 1st thing i did was uninstall norton and use other antivirus. Im using kaspersky and nvr encounter any problem after that...

erm, same for me also... i heard its lidat.. The experience index not really accurate. Try 3D mark, shud be the same.. 0.1 not so important bah

This is definitely software problems... I've fixed mine and it never happen a single time till now except it has faster booting time and faster shutting down time. Others also amaze with the speed
