Hello guys, i just bought the Asus K50AB last week for RM1999..
Just wanna know if the lappy has any compatibilities issues with any ram brands?? When i bought it, i had upgraded it's ram with another stick of Apacer 2GB 800mhz DDR2.. After upgrading everything went haywire, crash n bluescreen a norm But the weird thing is that when i took out the apacer ram and replace with my friend kingston ram it went ok.. I tested the apacer with my friend acer lappy it worked fine plak |

Ello...I also just bought a K40AB at AOnePlus RM1899 onli (cheaapp).
 So far so good on games at 1024x600 medium/high settings, no AA (Resident Evil 5, Batman), getting an average of 30fps. But then donno y performance on Need for Speed Shift is slowwww (medium)..when changing settings to low the game crashes after starting a race...Updated to the modified Catalyst 9.9 even worst, cannot start =/....Anybody else tried NFS Shift on K40/K50AB?Oh, and another thing...The Catalyst 9.9 driver doesn't seem to come with lower wide screen resolutions (1024x600 for example) so I was wondering if there was anyway to add it into the driver? Anybody know of a solution on it? Thx This post has been edited by ctwolf88: Sep 30 2009, 02:43 PM |
