ive just got my k40ab! woot!

Where did you bought it bro? And how about the price? I'm thinking to get the K50AB but still haven't decide yet. Maybe by next week will grab it.

hmm.. from the brochure i got from midvalley.. the processor is athlon with 800Mhz..

so its an error as well rite?

i guess i'll try my luck in pc fair. there might be a promotion price and extra freebies i guess..

well, perhaps the shop put in 800MHz, but at the end of the day, it will be downclocked to 667MHz, since that's the max speed that Athlon x2 can support...

there is no K50AB in penang market yet... sigh...
waiting + waiting = Killing me :/

so.. if i wanna get it working in 800Mhz.. i'll have to overclock my processor adi eh.. which is a necessity for K40ab users?

Not necessary unless you are serious enthusiast and KNOW what you are doing. For me tho, I give up on Dell due to the fact it cant be oc

overclock also no use...

u need a Turion x2 instead...

Err, you sure abt this? We can just oc the HTT speed. Unless it's locked as in the case of C2D

oh shit... play with C2D too much recently...

anyway, it's more like not recommended la... cuz u need to know how the RAM divider work then u can get a good oc... there's more stuff to consider when oc-ing K8...

played prototype and lord of the rings conquest with my asus k40.. sweet!

Prototype is not really that hard on hardware like crysis or gta4. Mind telling me what resolution you play at? I assume on medium setting?

ouch.. means my additional 2gb 800Mhz will not be fully utilised..

hopefully.. theres ppl selling turion in pc fair.. lolz..

btw.. any chance to check whether its athlon or turion? just see sticker oni?

guess that's the only way, without switching on the laptop...

Get over these 667 or 800 stuff. It don't matter a bit for average user.

oo.. any precaution when purchasing laptop?

shud i turn it on eh?

of course you should, turn it on and let it run for awhile, play around with it.

oh.. if it comes in freedos den i cant do anything rite?

Pop in a linux live cd

That's why whenever I plan to buy or test a laptop. I carry my own linux live cd (or ask the store if they have a linux cd). I just sit and play around with it - check if everything is okay

alooo....
