hey guys, i am using Asus K40AB and currently running windows 7 Professional 32-bit RTM version. my battery life is so short ...less than what i get when K40AB is running on vista 32-bit. Is it installation problem ? However, i do not face any issues or problems so far. ==' Can other users of K40AB running windows 7 state your battery life ? just wanna know whether mine is faulty

I got my HD4570 to be stable at 720MHz core 620MHz memory and got 3485 marks on 3DMark06  But on day to day games, I just ramp up the memory clock to 615MHz and core to 705MHz QUOTE(keivin1991 @ Oct 2 2009, 01:50 PM) owh... rough price for 6 cell battery ?? AFAIK there are no other battery options, what you get is all it have
