Sorry, I am asking because I am not very familiar with AMD laptop's performance and most of the time I hear that it is VERY HOT, I don't play heavy games, just l4d or The Sims 3.

i m very sure it can run more than > medium setting for left4dead with AA off offcourse .since my hd3450 can at medium setting 1280x800

Yes I guess so, it can play modern games despite its puny memory bandwidth, it would be better if it got 256MB of GDDR3 memory working at 1GHz. But it did use Samsung memory module, which by my experience is great overclocking potential and usually can exceed its rating by up to 200MHz

yes it can. i'm running it on med-high.

Yeah it is indeed VERY HOT, my brisbane idle at 30'C, so D@MN hot.....

pwned by me... again...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1065710/+180

planning to get this laptop in da coming pc fair.. haha

so.. actually.. what guidelines should I folo when purchasing it?

for the processor i certainly have no choice rite? its oni available in athlon. by comparison which shud be better between turion and athlon and their performance.

and.. i've been viewing on this thread. and most ppl are undervolting to keep it cooler rite? do i have to use a specific software or just do it thru da bios? everest is mentioned in the posts. and its da oni software that i have.

and about the HD3200 and 3450 thingy im still dont quite understand.. in how to make them show up..

and is it wise to install a pirated vista ultimate? since it comes in freedos..

thanks to the sifu-sifu in advance

LOL epic

Why don't you read the first post, I put everything there including guide.

Why bother with pirated Vista? Windows 7 is free

the windows 7 interface looks kinda complicated and hard to use actually.. from what i see lar..

but whats da additional stuffs in windows 7? jus a slight upgrade in appearance from vista rite?

win 7 is free with home premium oni wert.. surely the seller will provide home basic i guess.. and if possible it comes in freedos.. i might be able to same some cash wert.

uses less ram than vista , boot faster imo .

LOL, Its easier than Vista, pretty much the same but I like 7 more. Its not just the appearance, its lighter and faster than Vista, and all RC is the Ultimate.

I just say to the seller not to bother install anything, I can do everything on my own, even I myself ask so specific that he don't need to ask further question about it.

Its your choice whether you need Vista or you can install anything to your heart desire. One thing I don't like when they install pirated stuff, is they put some unwanted stuff with it, plus I wanted to partition the harddisk to my demand, I usually have 3 partition for my stuff, and they charge extras for it

oh.. but if i were to get windows 7.. tat would mean i'll have to pay extra for the OS when purchasing..

for the ultimate.. im gonna be installing it myself.. im gonna set my own partition and stuffs.

hmm.. what does RC stand for and.. with ultimate? sorry i dont understand.

well, the laptop comes with Freedos... u still need to pay for Vista rit???

anyway, whennu buy Vista u get to upgrade to Win7 also, so y not?

In reality, 7 is much more easier to use, and easier on the computer than Vista. problems on Vista were acknowledged and rectified in 7.

Those who use Vista knows how annoying the UAC can become, and how removable drives did not have the cool blue free space indication in Computer, and how maximizing a window in Vista removes the Aero theme.

Well, 7 fixes all of those, and yeah, I enjoy using it.

yeah.. unless im going back with the freedos itself.. and get ultimate installed myself..

well.. mostly probably they'll give me a free home basic.. for free upgrade its gonna need home premium or business or ultimate rite?

btw.. i actually have a 1gb ram at my house.. so is it possible that i install the ram myself? will the warranty be void?

Depends on what type of RAM is it.

If the one in the K40AB is faster, and your RAM is slower, it will run slower. And vice versa.

And make sure its DDR2 also.

type? its DDR2.. 1gb..

well the model is offering 2gb rite..

will there be conflicts?

What about speeds?

667.

isnt most the rams standard now?

To be honest, most RAM found in most newer laptops these days are 800Mhz..
