nope. am not using any cooling pad. on a table wit room temperature. wow....ur temperature so high...maybe different laptop different cooling system. other k40ab also has the same temperature while gaming?

i suggest u just reformat the whole thing back again. because u installed 2 windows instead of replacing vista. i thought catalyst will detect 4570 while u playing games or wat so ever?

Added on September 10, 2009, 11:06 amits 4500 series. not 4500. 4570 is one of 4500 series beside 4530. if u using ati driver it will show 4530/4570 instead of 4570. because they dont make driver specifically for 4570.download the driver from windows update. its byfar the most stable driver i ever use. even more stable than catalyst 9.8 or 9.8 3d game fix.

theres no problem at all. go for windows 7.

so how bout the power? itll be using usb? or charge battery?

thats not windows problem...send ur laptop to service centre.

better to use only 4570 than using xpress power.....changing graphic card causes the problems. if u have ati catalyst control centre. theres is option power play which will reduce the clock speed and memory speed of the graphic card when u using battery. it works for me. no need to set up anything. just enable it. better than changing graphic adapter from descrete to onboard and back again. problems...

yea. it work best on most asus design. xD

actually the only difference is the hard drive size, 250gb and 320gb. all the features are the same. old batch also hv cool palm rest. only no sticker. so just worry about the size of the disk u get instead of thinking about a stupid sticker.

asus k40ab pwn acer 4736g....acer 4736g is for game like dota only....

remember to find the 320gb version of the notebook. unless u dont mind to add more afterwards when u ran out of space.

Added on September 12, 2009, 11:31 amtested the new 9.9 driver version(modded it). it is also not stable....but this is worst...desktop driver are just not for laptop...so i decided to use the most stable driver for windows update....but the new catalyst control centre works better, smoother. my suggestion is mod the new 9.9, install it, use windows update to change the driver.

dude....who said acer built sucks....acer make good stuff, infact its like the 2nd best seller after HP...but Hp is american...thats why its on top...america is big... actually Asus ppl is from Acer if u read history of Asus....but still i prefer Asus.

this is new amd cpu...unlike the old one. dont think u will have temperature issues on this lappy. plus the cooling vent exits behind this lappy is open. while acer will be closed by the screen.

theres no such thing as country shows build quality....plus even the cheapest notebook doesnt hv problem. so far what is the bad quality u heard and seen?

well..i guess so...maybe thats why its cheap.

u wont have any problem if u use vista or 7. and ofcourse if u install everyting it needs. the atk and all.

just use dgpu. if u want power saving mod ati catalyst 9.9, install it to ur pc then enable ati power play. it will downclock ur gpu. easier than changing gpu from discrete to onboard....

yea. Unlike most intel, most amd support virtualization. Only one model doesnt. I dont remember which model is it. Buat athlon and turion support virtualization. Or if it still dont satisfy u just google.^^

in the catalyst control centre. download the latest driver here. http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx
and use this modder to mod the driver so that it work on ur notebook. http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
theres a guide how to mod the driver. then install it.

who said k40ab got heat problem. btw this is the best price over performance lappy u can get in the market if ur budget is 2k.
