ic..ic...so Any different between 32 bit and 64 bit?which 1 is better?

If you have more than 3GB of RAM use 64Bit, otherwise its the same. No performance difference whatsoever.

imho 64-bit is better in the long run...

sooner or later, we'll definitely go past the 4GB mark...

actually, the latest time to switch to 64-bit is 3:14:08, 19 January 2038... that's when the clocks in 32-bits will reach it's maximum and can't proceed anymore...

btw for those who are unfamiliar in using K10Stats.

refer here

Whats the lowest stable voltage for P0 and P1 using K10Stats? Can anyone go lower than recommended value in the first page? (P0:1.1v, P1:0.9v)

I am Vista 32bit user & I have tried install the mod and the GPU drivers quite a few times.. but it still doesn't work
So I got to roll back the BIOS & GPU driver to my very beginning versions. It works ok...
I don't deserve to upgrade the BIOS again until Asus has come out with his own updated GPU driver...

Guys, i'm considering getting a new HDD soon, and i'm in a bind.

should I get the larger 500GB 5400rpm hdd or the faster 320GB 7200rpm hdd?

is the performance in both hdd is really noticeable?

for P1 (1050mhz) = lowest possible is 0.90v(volt) for 2.1ghz..mileage varies..i'm doing 1.05v now..aiming to test further still

where u find the 7200rpm hdd ?

i suggest u to buy external hdd...easier to carry

tonight i got to get k40ab/k50ab

Congrats...and welcome to the club

u can refer here http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2.5-har...chmarks,25.html
and here http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-2....chmarks,53.html

but currently in the market here 7200rpm wit 16mb cache is western digital 320gb.
but i will not recommend buying western digital disk...as it makes weird sound...
find seagate disk. its always the best.

Hello I face ur problem b4 and I solved it...after bios update if detect onlt vga,uninstall the driver in device manager then choose driver manually..mine 1 choose modded ccc 9.9 driver abd then it is fine...(dgpu mode)

For me, more space is always more important than speed, which doesn't make that much difference.

Performance of harddisk is not really depends on the rotational speed, the density of drive platter plays important role too, as you can see from some high density disks with single or double platter reaching more than 500GB can beat 10000rpm Raptor (I talking about desktop drive here)

Its up to you whether you really need 500GB or just 320GB. Take note too 7200rpm drive can get hotter than slower speed, and possibly makes more noises too

Oh, really...
U mean modded CCC 9.9 driver from http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool??

mm did u REALLY follow the procedures correctly?

I think so...
I really hope that it can works.. In the another hand, I am afraid it might fails again & waste my time

Added on September 18, 2009, 3:04 pmIt seems like failed again... :'(
I don't wanna waste my time again... just forget about it.
Anyway, thanks for consultation above.
Happy Hari Raya & Happy Holiday

there are a lot of sellers here do sell 7200rpm HDD. To differentiate, WD Scorpio Blue is 5400pm, and WD Scorpio Black is 7200rpm.
I already have an external hdd. My old laptop uses WD scorpio blue 320GB one, and for some reason, I didn't like this K50AB Hitachi HDD so much. Uses more power, but slower and makes noises too. and comparably warmer than my WD.

(the reason I say use more power is Hitachi HDD uses 700mA while WD uses 500mA power.)

thanks will look into it.

That is weird, my WD never fails me, and in my experience in desktop HDD, the one who always makes a noise is Maxtor. Samsung and WD never fails my expectations. Seagate I have not been using for a long time already, coz some incident.

Thanks for the tip.

Is that right? I better research that one particular point there. Thanks for the info.

noise wise i think it depends on which model...

using Seagate Momentus now, 7200rpm, default comes with my Asus N81Vp... honestly u hardly hear it spinning up...

Added on September 18, 2009, 6:05 pmactually, i would prefer WD... now even Seagate 3yrs warranty, while WD is still 5yrs...
